China

A vast and intoxicating mosaic of dynasties, devotion, and dazzling modernity, China is a land where imperial grandeur meets everyday poetry. Ancient pagodas and silent Buddhist grottoes sit in dialogue with neon-lit megacities, while mist-draped mountains, terraced tea fields, and karst rivers unfurl like classical ink paintings. Stay in a converted courtyard house, a minimalist mountain lodge, or a grand Art Deco hotel, then lean into the rhythms of daily life - dawn tai chi in the park, hand-pulled noodles on a backstreet, night trains gliding through the dark.
