It was not that long ago that tourism was virtually
unheard of in China. But as China has become a major
player in the business world, more and more visitors
are flocking to this intriguing country where ancient
temples coexist with luxury hotels and modern shopping
centers.
As the world's third-largest country – it has
a total land mass of 9,326,410 square kilometers (just
slightly smaller than the United States) – and
with a population of 1,335,840,300, China is a land
of diversity.
There's tropical weather in the south and sub-arctic
climes in the north. The Gobi Desert is complete with
camels and landscapes that look more like a scene from
the Middle East; as the sands shift, they hide and
reveal the ruins of ancient cities. Along the border
with Nepal, is that most famous of mountains –
Mount Everest – and north of it are the Kunlun
Mountains.
If you are looking to learn a new language, then take
your pick! There's standard Chinese, Mandarin, Cantonese,
Shanghaiese, Fuzhou, Hokkien-Taiwanese, Xiang, Gan,
or Hakka dialects – that should keep you busy
for awhile! And with each language comes its own unique
culture as well as culinary traditions that will keep
your taste buds singing. Believe me, your local Chinese
restaurant at home is nothing compared to the real
thing!
As one of the world's most ancient civilizations (China's
recorded history goes back almost 4,000 years), China
is steeped in history and culture. From the Silk
Road to the
Great Wall to mausoleums to tea ceremonies to
Chinese theatre, there's plenty to see and so much
to do!
