Gap Year in China

Modern China is a convenient place to travel – with super highways, city subways and regular public transport connecting the main cities and towns. The rail network is excellent, and you can catch a train to Vietnam, Moscow, or Mongolia if you wish to explore further afield. Buy your rail tickets in person at a station (with a passport), or reserve tickets online.


From the giant Buddha cut in the side of a cliff to Beijing’s magical Forbidden City, China is full of sensational attractions. Wherever you go, this huge country is sure to impress.
