It's hard to describe China in just a couple of words. Or of pages. The effect of the centuries of culture and history of this country is overwhelming. However, there are a couple of places that you should include in any short or long visit to the world's oldest continous civilization: the Great Wall, the island hopping in Hong Kong or the outstanding modern architecture of Shanghai. Some say that the Peking Duck you may have here is tastier than any other similar meal served in any other place in the world.
