A Brief Description

Much like the ancient Roman and Egyptian empires, China led much of the world in the arts and sciences for hundreds of years.

Then, in the 19th Century, China experienced debilitating civil unrest, significant food shortages, military defeats, and foreign occupation.

With the end of World War II, the upstart Communists under the leadership of MAO Zedong established a dictatorship that, while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life, and cost the lives of tens of millions of people.

After 1978, his successor DENG Xiaoping gradually introduced market-oriented reforms and decentralized economic decision-making.

Those efforts were successful as GDP output quadrupled by the year 2000. Today, political controls still remain tight, but more and more economic controls continue to be relaxed. China's economy is booming and its influence is growing worldwide.

Tourism, always popular in China, is a growth industry, as the country presents (quite possibly), the most fascinating destination on the planet.

The Himalayas, the world's most elevated mountain range, forms its southwestern borders with India, Nepal and Bhutan. In the far northeast, high mountains ring its border with the Russian Federation.

The Gobi Desert runs west to east along its border with Mongolia. Here the topography varies from sand desert, into the low mountain foothills and plateaus that stretch into Mongolia.

From the higher elevations in the west literally thousands of rivers drain the country; the most significant include the Yangtze (third longest river on the planet), and the Heilong (Amur), Mekong, Pearl and Yellow.

Traveler Info

arrow Attractions China, the third largest country in the world, offers an endless variety of fulfilling and interesting attractions, including hundreds of ancinet relic sites; countless museums; beautiful and interesting caves, gardens, grottos, lakes, mountains, rivers and waterfalls, as well as timeless monasteries, temples and villages.

Most visitor itineraries must/should include Beijing, and its over 100 cultural and scenic spots, and its Forbidden City; sparkling Shanghai, the largest city; the Terra Cotta Warriors in Shaanxi province; a Yangtze River boat tour, and of course, the Great Wall of China.

When visiting the country note that the Chinese are now aggressively enjoying personal travel and tourism to the highest levels in their history, and many of the major attractions can be crowded, with long lines. The Forbidden City is one example and hours may be spent just waiting to get in.

Regardless, in China, as an old saying goes, "Patience is a Virtue," and those that follow that logic here will certainly be rewarded.
