Ancient and intoxicating; China has long excited travellers keen to explore its vast and varied landscape.

Although it may be one of the largest countries on earth, these stunning photographs prove it is also one of the most beautiful.

From rainbow-coloured rolling hills that look like they are from another world, to an abandoned village clad in vines in Shengshan Island - the Asian country is a visual feast.


Natural treasures such as the turquoise lakes of Jiǔzhàigōu National Park and sunsets on the rice fields in Yuanyang County are just two of the picturesque landscapes that have long attracted tourists to the country. Meanwhile the famous Great Wall of China is a huge pull for visitors, but how many have stopped to admire the end of the structure jutting into the sea?

Around every corner is an inviting panorama with one of the most incredible being the world's largest Buddhist settlement in Larung, which features thousands of red wooden huts contrasting sharply against the green hills.
