Lonely Planet is not just about seeing a destination, but helping travellers understand the historical and cultural context.

As more and more Chinese travel, they will emerge as new global citizens at the same time as their nation takes on an increasingly important role in the world. We are looking forward to playing at least a small part in those changes in one of the world's most exciting nations.
