It offers some of the best night-life in the world during holiday season, as well as some amazing beaches for you to spend your time at during the day. If there is anything negative to be said about the place, it is that it isn’t really suitable for a family holiday.

While it has a similar weather to Majorca, the experiences you’ll gain from the two favourite holiday destinations couldn’t be more different.

  • Natural lakes of China

    There a so many heavenly natural spots to visit across China, but we love the water, especially the scenery of the vast number of lakes across the country.

    Namtso Lake – Namtso literally means “heavenly lake”. It is located 240km to the northeast of Lhasa. It is a rectangle shape, 70km from east to west and 30km from north to south with an area of 1920 square km and 4718m from sea-level. The lake has 5 islands the largest being 1.2 km2.

The lake covers over 1200 square meters and is a very popular location for summer.  It is well known for its limestone cliffs, multitude of fish species and fresh water coral and along the north side runs the Diaoshuilou Falls waterfall, which drops approximately 40 meters.

  • All inclusive

    As with any type of holiday, when you are choosing where to stay there are always positives and negatives. By choosing all inclusive you are removing the hassle of having to find places to have your meals, leaving more time to enjoy your holiday. However, having paid more money up front for your hotel stay, if you find that the meals are not to your taste or you find yourself taking lots of day trips you’ll find yourself purchasing meals anyway.
    Soft drinks and local alcoholic drinks are usually free of charge when you pay for all inclusive, some hotels will provide more than this, so check what yours includes.
    With all inclusive you’ll probably find that you don’t need to take as much money with you as you won’t need as much money for food.
    All inclusive meals are available at set times, some hotels will offer additional snack bars, but if you want to have a sit down meal, you will need to stick to the allocated times – which won’t suit everyone.

  • Visiting Machu Picchu

    machupicchu

    Machu Picchu was built by the Inca for reasons still not fully understood today, but what we do know by the geography of the location is that it is strategically located to defend against defenders, and is organised well to fight off any attacking force. We also know that the city was abandoned when the Spanish Conquistadores invaded what is now Peru but what was the Inca Empire. The site remained undiscovered by modern western society and academia until 1911 (although locals new of its existence).

    Machu Picchu has been undergoing a revitalisation since its discovery, with many of the surrounding buildings having been rebuilt in order to give the location a more complete experience for the tourists visiting the place.
