Happy Year of the Sheep from Remote Lands!

 
Remote Lands Newsletter February 2015
 
On 19 February, people across Asia will be celebrating the first day of the Lunar New Year - the Year of the Sheep (or Goat, depending on which country you're in). In the Chinese zodiac, goats are seen as trustful and peace-loving, so let's hope it turns out to be a peaceful year for us all. To celebrate the Lunar New Year, our latest newsletter picks itineraries from four of the countries where the celebrations will be at their most intense - China, Vietnam, Tibet & Taiwan. We have amazing scenery, an epic trek, and a stunning private jet journey.

Trekking Tibet: Mount Kailash to Guge Kingdom Thanks to its relative isolation over the years, Tibet has remained one of the most mysterious places in the world. Now the country is slowly becoming more accessible, and this 12-day trekking tour will uncover the best of what this breathtaking Chinese territory has to offer. You’ll start by exploring the administrative capital of Lhasa, before embarking on an epic overland journey both by car and on foot. A three-day drive will take you to Mount Kailash via the remote towns of Saga and Paryang. Three days are then dedicated to trekking, where you’ll pass stunning mountain gorges, the majestic Lake Mansarovar and end your journey in the ancient Guge Kingdom.  
The Way to Heaven's Gate: Hanoi to Ha Giang The rarely-visited province of Ha Giang is Northern Vietnam at its most remote, and its most spectacular. A patchwork of rice terraces, mountains and villages, bathed in stunning shades of green, it's the perfect region for adventurers, photographers, romantics, and those wanting interaction with the local people. This 6-day itinerary takes you from the capital Hanoi via Dong Van to the beautiful mountain town of Meo Vac, and back again.
 
China's Magnificent Mountaintops by Private Jet Fly throughout China on your own private jet as you explore the extreme terrain that helps to make up the country's rugged-yet-stunning mountainscapes. You will see some of the most beautiful - and least visited - natural sites in the world. Journey from one national park to another, visiting ancient ruins along the way. You will cover plenty of ground in this 11-day itinerary as you travel from Beijing to Changbaishan, Zhangjiajie, Guilin, Jiuzhaigou, Lijiang, Shangri-La and Zhangye Danxia, on a journey that will both inspire and humble.
 
Total Taiwan: Around the Island in 12 Days Despite its small size, Taiwan is an island packed full of surprises. This 12-day itinerary offers the best of what this charming state has to offer, from the ever-impressive 21st-century metropolis of Taipei, to the untouched village life throughout the countryside that has seldom seen change over the years. Start your adventure with three days in the capital, before making your way to the island's historical southern city of Tainan via bullet train. You'll then leave modern civilisation behind as you head along a hundred-year-old train route in Alishan, before cruising over postcard-perfect Sun Moon Lake, and finally exploring the stunning national parks of Taroko.
