A kaleidoscope of colour, culture, religion and cuisine, Asia is a magical part of the world, blending the ancient and the traditional with the ultra-modern and the pioneering. The only challenge is deciding where in this remarkable continent to explore first...
The remarkable Terracotta Warriors
A perennial favourite amongst Kuoni holidaymakers, Thailand endlessly charms with its golden temples, bustling markets, historic palaces, delicious food, warm seas, wonderful beaches and the world's friendliest and most genuine welcome. Visitors are inspired to return year after year, and every time there is something new to experience from the vibrancy of the capital Bangkok, where you can stay at the Majestic Grande or Royal Orchid Sheraton hotels, to the breathtaking holiday islands, with their tranquil spa resorts and exhilarating activities and excursions. Choose from the SALA Samui in Koh Samui, Cape Panwa and Sheraton Grande Laguna resorts in Phuket. A vast, beautiful country of contrasts in landscape, climate and culture, where peaceful rice fields and monastery villages exist alongside buzzing, dramatic mega-
cities, China is glorious. Explore the imperial splendour of Beijing and Xi'an (for the amazing Terracotta Warriors), the city thrills of Shanghai, the Great Wall of China, snaking its way thousands of miles from the mountains of Korea to the sands of the Gobi, and myriad other attractions. Our Taste of China tour is a tantalising introduction. And, with 5,000 years of Chinese traditions, 150 years of British colonial influence and boundless energy to shape the future, Hong Kong is a truly unique city. Enjoy a memorable stay in this capital of Cantonese cooking, with its incredible contrast of shopping experiences, from bustling oriental markets to ultra-modern malls, spectacular events including Chinese New Year and areas of extraordinary beauty, just beyond the glittering skyscrapers. Stay at the Regal Kowloon or Park Lane hotels.
