Travel
to China is a life time experience and a better way to understand
China. Only when you are there, you may start to appreciate
and understand what a difference to live in a nation with
a population of 1.2 billion.
China offers variety choices for visitors. If you are interested in Chinese history, Chinese culture and Chinese scenery, your trip will be very fulfilled and very interesting. If you want to enjoy a peaceful sunshine beach holiday, there are plenty of tourist areas along the coastal line, which have unspoiled beaches and luxury China hotels for visitors. You can expect to find some world class accommodation in Hainan Island, and the beautiful Sangya beaches are opened whole year around as there is no winter in this island. If you want excitements and nightlife, stay in big cities. There are many places every night for international gathering. If you are adventurers, go to remote areas to watch wild life or visit minorities to see how they live in the hillsides or desert. If you are sporty, take a cycle trip along the countryside, enjoy the rural life and meet with Chinese people along the route.
You may have heard or read a lot about China from books,
newspapers, magazines and TV programs. Some of them are
true but most of them are out of date, incorrect or even
false. China is different from many of your previous experiences
and may shock you in many ways. This is what China is!
This country is changing and progressing every day. Yet
it is still a developing country. After the economic reform,
most of the developments concentrate in major cities and
remote areas are still very backward. China is a very populated
nation and people have to cope with the crowded environment.
Foreign visitors may not get use to the mentality of the
people and sometimes become frustrated with the situation,
which they never experienced before. Basically Chinese are
reserve, peaceful and nice. They are very polite too but
in their own way. When a foreigner is willing to take a
more positive attitude to recognize the difference, the
trip will become worthwhile or you may ruin your trip completely
by unreasonable expectation and misjudgment of the people
in general.
