Turkey Travel Guide in Chinese Magazine - Winter 2020

In this issue

After nearly three decades of continuous discovery and sharing with you the absolute best that Istanbul has to offer through our flagship title in English, The Guide Istanbul, we have decided to embrace the change in the travel market in Turkey and release a publication catered towards Chinese-speaking travellers.

The magazine you hold in your hands is not just a translation of our English edition, but a brand new concept catered towards the needs and preferences of visitors from the Far East. Since the expectations of luxury travellers vary depending on their country of origin, we believe the information you receive should be customized to the experiences you seek, as well. That is why Turkey Travel Guide in Chinese has come to life.

In this debut issue we have tried to reflect the nature of the destination itself by combining the old with the new, tradition with modernity, and Eastern culture with the Western one. Within the choice of topics you will find a balanced blend of history, sightseeing, local tastes, artisanal crafts, and trusted shopping addresses. In search for authentic experiences, we reveal the less known corners of Istanbul, as well as the most picturesque parts of the country.

Whether you’re a prospective adventurer, solo traveller, food enthusiast, or jewellery shopper on the hunt for unique gems, Turkey Travel Guide will steer you towards the best the destination has to offer.
