China Travel
From the snow capped Himalayan plateau to the shores of the South China Sea, the steaming jungles of the tropical south to the wind swept grasslands of Inner Mongolia, the country’s breadth of climates and landscapes is unmatched anywhere else on the planet and makes travel in China a truly memorable experience.



Travel in China has become much easier since the relaxation of restrictions on foreign travellers and massive improvements in rail and road networks. China is set to host the 2008 Olympics and the government is aiming to encourage 400,000 more Chinese citizens to learn English in preparation, so demand for people to teach English in China has never been higher.
If you're interested in volunteering in China we work with teaching, conservation, wildlife and community projects across the country. China volunteer projects are a fantastic way to gain a deeper understanding of the country and make a real contribution. Whether you travel China or take a gap year in China, volunteering in China could be the perfect option for you. Find out more about i-to-i volunteer China projects and useful resources and information for planning a volunteer travel adventure in China.
