You step out into Beijing’s pale morning light at Tiananmen Square, the flag still trembling as the city wakes. Over the next eleven days the landscape keeps changing: the stone shoulders of the Great Wall rise and dare you to climb; northern caves at Yungang and Longmen hold carved histories; Xi’an’s terracotta army sits silent like a buried army of time; Chengdu’s bamboo-lined enclosures hum with the patient chewing of giant pandas.
