Higher View 5

Higher View is your one-stop guide to everything lavish in Australia and China, keeping you up-to-date in the worlds of luxury travel, events places to stay and fashion.

This issue of Higher View is all about discovery. Whether it’s discovering some less-trodden
destinations or rediscovering more familiar ones, we’re going to take you on a journey through China that offers the very best of old and new, urban and rural. You may think you know all there is to know about the Forbidden City in Beijing and that the story of shopping in Shanghai is something you’ve heard a thousand times, but our features are sure to teach you something new and make you want to revisit these old favourites. Also in this issue, Guangzhou might be lesser-known, but our trip to its Liwan district is bound to change your mind and have you planning a trip there very soon. Elsewhere, we visit Guilin in search of its cormorant fishermen and also spend 48 hours discovering Chengdu.
