It is a country of timeless mysticism and beauty and vivacious dynamic development. Since Marco Polo's first glowing accounts to the courts of Europe about the splendour and sophistication of the "land of Cathay", the "outside world" has been enthralled and enticed by its mystique. Its unspoilt countryside, where time seems somewhere back in its 5,000 years of civilisation, is juxtaposed against the towering skylines of its many large and modern cities. |
