China,Cambodia and Borneo

CHINA
Known as one of the ancient civilisations, China boasts a history of more than 5000 years. Its 1.2 billion people make up one fifth of the world's population, and belong to 56 ethnic groups. China covers a vast 9.6 million square kilometres, and has some of the most famous and spectaculatur tourist attractions in the world. The Great Wall in the north, the Qin dynasty (221 - 207 BC) tomb with a legion of warriors and horses, the Dunhuang Mogao Grottos on the Silk Road linking to the West, the Imperial Palace in Beijing and numerous other cultural relics and natural scenic spots are all draw cards for both Chinese and foreign tourists. VIETNAM Influenced by Chinese and French culture, the Vietnamese have maintained a strong sense of their own uniqueness while embracing new outside influences. Vietnams beauty is one of the country's most powerful attractions. From the Mekong Delta to the stunning coastline of central Vietnam, or the rugged mountains of the north and Halong Bay, Vietnams beauty is an inspiration. The cities of Ho Chi Minh, Hoi An, Hue and Hanoi offer bustle mixed with colonial elegance.

CAMBODIA
Cambodia is now more open to the visitor than at any time for three decades. The most popular places to visit are the lively capital of Phnom Penh and the famous temples at Angkor. However, people are increasingly heading to the south coast to relax on the empty beaches at Sihanoukville and many of the provincial towns offer a combination of colonial architecture, sleepy riverside locations and some extremely friendly local people.
LAOS Laos is one of the most beautiful and culturally rewarding holiday destinations in Asia. Mountains, jungles and the Mekong River dominate the landscape. Devoutly Buddhist and largely undeveloped, Laos offers travellers an opportunity to experience rich traditions, natural beauty and a sense of Asia as it once was. Highlights include Luang Prabang – a perfectly preserved blend of rustic colonial architecture and monasteries – and the laid back waterside capital city, Vientiane.

BORNEO
Borneo has long been a source of mystery and fascination for travellers throughout the centuries. Wildlife and nature lovers will find eco treasures from mountain high to ocean deep! It is home to 'the wild man of Borneo' (the Orang Utan), the comical proboscis monkey and over 1200 species of orchid. Borneo offers a range of accommodation from budget hotels to world class five star resorts with lush green golf courses, spa retreats and secluded pristine sandy beaches offering relaxation and recreation.
