China is a big country, with a size of 9.59696 million km ². China is only partially open to the world since 1980 and is a communist country for many decades. Although much has been achieved in the field of tourism and infrastructure in China, there are some aspects that, before they have the levels required by most of the tourists to play in the improvement.



However, most of the fun is stored, how it differs from the rest of the world. China will host the 2008 Olympics. Travel and rapid improvement in infrastructure, we are approaching the 2008th

China is rich in history and culture. Visit the Great Wall in Beijing, SIP Chinese tea in Xiamen, dance with ethnic tribes in Yunnan, check the nineteenth century European buildings in Qingdao - so much to do and see in China!

Here are some tips for travelers to travel to China easier:

Entry visa
China requires a visa in most countries. Apply at the Chinese consulate or through a travel agency before traveling to China.

Climate
Extremely diverse, tropical in south to subarctic in the north. Be ready with the right seasonal clothing.

Currency
The monetary unit is called Renmembi (RMB) or yuan. Get some Chinese Yuan in your area before you travel. When in China, in foreign currency for local currency at banks or at the hotel. Banks tend to give slightly better rates than hotels. Note that some banks close for siesta between 14:12.

Payment Services
Most of the best hotels and shopping centers, credit card or traveler's checks. Small hotels and shops accept only cash. If outside the major cities, credit cards and credit cards, as a rule, almost impossible to use. Cash is still king in Chinese business and trade.

Counterfeit notes are common in China. Check carefully before making these changes, especially if it is mostly 100RMB notes. You can feel the difference in texture depending on the fakes.



Understand English
Most officials, customs officials, police, hotel staff and men in the street, do not speak English or at best a few in English.

Most signs and instructions will result in both English and Chinese. However, note that the translations of the transitions so bad that hardly aware that his original intention of the Chinese are known.

Do not expect to see workers in the hotel or in a store, in English. Only the big hotels have to understand people speaking English.

Most young people a basic knowledge of English if you speak slowly.

Social security
China, normally safe country. However, expect a quick in its portfolio, especially in crowded places, a very popular resort cities such as Beijing and Xian.

These tourist cities also have a large number of dealers on the streets through the promotion of all exchange rate of female company jewelers. Avoid at all costs!

Domestic Travel
Bus, train, ferries and domestic flights are very well developed. Avoid the crowds at the stations and book tickets to travel to the hotel or the nearest tour agent. Prices tend to be competitive and tickets will be delivered to your hotel. Again and again, that retailers will agree on the road.

Local buses are cheap (U.S. $ 0.10 or YS $ 0.20), and you can try. Taxi is convenient and easily accessible. Starting fares differ from each city and less than $ 0.70 in Weihai and $ 1.50 in Shenzhen.

Avoid travel in China during peak holiday or to book tickets in advance.

Local hotels
This is a good range of hotels in China for a star to the most luxurious 6 stars. Most of the rooms are clean and safe, in my opinion, it is cheap does not mean bad.

There are many sites that offer Internet facilities in China. You can also use the travel counters which are available in most train, bus stations and airports.

Book early if you travel in high season.

Peak season
Chinese New Year: Date varies but generally late January or early February
May Day: The first half of May
China's National Day: Middle two weeks in October

Avoid traveling at this time. Book a room and the way early if you want to go anyway. Believe me, the masses at this time of fear. What do you expect when the entire Chinese nation of 8 million people on vacation too!

Chinese Cuisine
Local food is absolutely fabulous. Try more Chinese food, how to make your wallet or on your stomach. Restaurants are available everywhere and opened hours later. Most restaurants have menus, pictures of different dishes. Better yet, simply note that the following table provides food, especially if it looks delicious!

However, to avoid street stalls and drinking directly from the tap, if you have a weak stomach.

Link
Mobile phone coverage in China is good in most places. World self-mobile in China, is not a problem.

Internet
There are Internet cafes throughout China, especially in tourist areas. The most visited by young people play games online, but you can check your Hotmail, Yahoo or Gmail. Access can be a bit slow for international locations.

Need a passport as China has regulations for Internet-Cyber-Cafe.

Sanitation
One of the worst experiences of many people in China is a brutal toilets. Things have improved, but still a good idea to keep the stomach or bladder at every opportunity in a hotel, restaurant or department store are empty. public toilets and sanitation in small shops can be hazardous to your nose!



China Travel Tips
Try English speaking tour guide at every opportunity. China has a rich history and splendid culture and not an official may not like the taste and the importance of tourism facilities will be lost.
* Sneaky tip: Hang around a group of English guide, if you can not pay!

Always get a receipt from a taxi driver, so you have a complaint file, when they were deceived, or to determine if you accidentally leave behind the camera in a taxi.

Try calling card for every hotel to stay in, to accept the fact that these cards have addresses in China and location of the hotel. This is useful if you can help to return, when in English or pronunciation of a hotel or a street name, you can find very different when viewed from the Chinese language is necessary.

After a tiring day, check out Chinese foot reflexology or Chinese Tuina (Chinese massage). Wonderful for the body after a hard day and very cheap to boot. Just follow the signs that shows two feet! They are everywhere.

Make friends with the Chinese, if possible. They love to meet foreigners and make good guides. This small gift purchased as a small token of gratitude.

There are many acts and modes of action of the Chinese that will attract attention, as are the following:
They do not respect traffic lights and pedestrian crossings.
Advance, rotate and change direction on any street or in any way.
Spit a lot and at any time.
Bicycles traveling at night without lights.
The public toilets pee smell very much but are very clean.
Even more amazing is the art of "haggling", which is why I would
then put an article on another traveler with management
http://locurachina.


blogspot.com describes her experiences and this
act with a simplicity and grace that is worth reading, and so what
transcribe it, without knowing why, it has been removed from your page:
"The first thing you're offered money, probably will be 4 or 5 times
price you can get. While we have found cases of purchasing
things for 20 times less than its initial price.
You have to make a fuss and drama. Do not be shy. The Chinese
pleasing, laugh, will make you angry, act in good cop and cop
wrong, they will, say it's the special offer for you. It should be
hard. You have to get that price. If you sell is that they are winning
money with you. They are very clever. If you do not earn money
sold.



Example of haggling:
"We: The worth these Puma sneakers?
-Chinese: MMM, these are very expensive, just have chosen the latter model, recently left the factory.
-Us: Yeah, but how much?
-Chinese: MMM, 50 euros
"We (do miestras gesture of heart attack) 50!!, That's impossible, it could buy the entire store.
-Chino: No, no, they are very good quality. Spanish As you softly at 40 euros.
"We (with insurance gesture) 40 euros is not the price of this. I give you $ 2.
-Chinese: The Chinese slippers keeps indignant and says that's an insult.
"We: Makes you go.



-Chinese: persecuted and asks you if you really want the shoes.
Us: Do you say that if you've already bought many things, and that is not the price. We offer 3 euros.
-Chinese: He says it is true that 30 is a lot, but 3 is just that
Please offered a sensible price. Call the shop
side and says he looks that little offer. The Store at
side drop and laughs as a sign of contempt or our quantity.
Down to 20 euros.
-Us: That 20 euros is a lot and we already have little money. We offer 4 euros.
Chinese: We say that's impossible. We are down to 15 euros.
Us: You make you go again, pretending anger at the price you are offered.
Chinese: I pursued you screaming down to 10 euros. Again it is their final offer.
Us: We offer 5 euros.
This has already entered a rifi-raphe of friend, girlfriend, lady, cheap and finite
that will end in 5, 6 or 7 euros, but no more. Often no
haggle anymore because you are tired and it's a pain. But if you
persistent will get a bargain. I give you an example of
prices we pay ourselves.
Puma shoes new model, with the lateral chords: Price seen in Spain: 100 euros. China: 7 euros.
Armani suede coat, two pieces. The ostia of bonito: 17 euros.
Plumas Timberland: 15 euros.
Varied Shirts Quicksilver, Nike, etc.. 3 euros.

About China

Natural conditions

Location: China, bordering 15 countries and is located in East Asia and the Pacific Ocean west coast. Its 18. 000 km of continental coastline is characterized by a varied topography in which alternate with steep coastal plain beaches. Taiwan and Hainan are, in this order, the major islands.

China measures 5,000 km from east to west (which is a time difference of more than four hours) and 5,500 km from north to south. The topography of China, which offers a look downward from west to east, is very diverse. We distinguish four major plateaus: the Qinghai-Tibet, Yunnan-Guizhou, Loess, northern China and Inner Mongolia and three plains: the Northeast of China, the North and the Course River Middle and Lower Changjiang (Yangtze). The different geographical configuration results in a wide range of landscapes, one of China's tourist attractions.

With a length of 6,300 km, the Yangtze is the longest in the country and the third longest in the world after the Amazon and the Nile Throughout its course it has charted a route marked special points of interest . The Huanghe (Yellow), the second longest in the country, has a length of 5. 464 km. ; Its basin, considered the cradle of Chinese civilization, ancient houses and famous landscapes created by its inhabitants.

Climate: Most of China lies in the temperate and subtropical zones. The four seasons are clearly perceived. Given the vastness of the territory, its climate offers a marked diversity: when in the northeast is winter, the plants bloom in Guangdong, Guangxi and south of Qinling and the islands of the South China Sea have their own view of the tropical climate.



History and Culture

Segen the earliest written documents, the history of China dates from 4500 to 5000 years ago. For more than 2. 000 years (221 BC-1911 AD) China lived under a feudal system where all power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor. In 1911 Dr. Sun Yat-sen, one of the most outstanding contemporary Chinese history, broke down the feudal imperial regime and founded the Repéblica China. Later, after continuous civil wars and eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, came the second major figure of contemporary China, Mao Zedong, who on October 1949 proclaimed Repéblica China. This country was founded socialist people's democratic dictatorship with the people as the owner of the nation. After 1978, Deng Xiaoping, the third prominent person from the recent

history of China, formulated and launched the reform and open policy, a process that has allowed China were to take a step forward in the path of building a modern socialist country and become a developing nation that concentrates worldwide attention.



Millennial Civilization:

It was the Chinese who invented bréjula, paper, printing and gunpowder. The three former construction: the Great Wall (whose construction began in 220 BC), the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal (1,794 km. In length and 1,400 years old) and Darez (especially irrigation system Xinjiang Autonomous Region, consisting of wells connected by underground channel), 3. 000 km. long excavated more than 2,000 years ago, not only demonstrate the laborioridad and intelligence of the Chinese people, but are part

prominent of the itineraries of existing tourist attractions in China.



Architecture:

The architecture can be divided into several classes. However, the most representative is imperial palaces. To perform the hegemony of the emperor, his palaces are built on a raised base and light too long, and rarely supported by columns. This architectural style, called "high ceiling" is considered the most important characteristics of the old

Construction. The Imperial Palace in Beijing is a typical example of this style.

The garden belongs to another kind of architecture. Reenen imperial gardens in all the beauty of different locations, calculated by combining in harmony rocks and water with high palaces, underscoring the imperial style. The imperial gardens are more representative of the Summer Palace and the Winter Palace, both in private gardens Beijing.Los, presenting another kind of garden, are usually homes of merchants and officials. The most notable are in the city of Suzhou, the multiplicity of environments created from the wise

available to plants and rocks, bridges and streams, become an oasis of peace, thereby revealing the desire of its owners to stay away from staying on.

Civilian housing is the third major type of construction. The traditional rectangular courtyard housing in Beijing (courtyard formed by an enclosure surrounded by rooms that are approached by the south side), is eminently practical and peaceful. The large "yard" of the family and family Qiao Qi, former residences of merchants and officials in northern China, are must-visit tourist spots. In the south, one highlights the housing style of Anhui Province raised to the creek bank, the black tiles and white walls give them a peculiar elegance.



Literature:

Poetry is the genre par excellence of classical Chinese literature. The most renowned poets of China are Qu Yuan, who lived over 2,000 os, and Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi, all from the Tang Dynasty. The poetic prose of Su Shi and Xin Qiji, literati of the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279), has been transmitted from generation to generation hastanuestros days. The four classic novels called, created during the Ming and Qing dynasties, are part of

world literary heritage: Pilgrimage to the West, to the water's edge. Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dream of Red Mansions. Today, plays are staged some of Guan Hanqing, a famous playwright of the Yuan Dynasty, including The Tragedy of Doue and riverfront gazebo.



Craft:

China is the largest producer of silk. The Silk Road started from Xi'an (Shaanxi Province). The embroidered with various motifs, whose clothing is used silk threads of different colors, are also highly prized, particularly in the provinces of Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan and Guangdong. Fujian lacquer, pottery of the Tang Dynasty trichrome (manufactured in Henan Province), the Beijing cloison, jade articles and woolen carpets, handicrafts are a long tradition, which, given its quality, be worthwhile as a souvenir.




Society and Economy

Company: China is a multinational and multi-religious country. Besides the Han, belongs to the 92% of the population, there are 55 minority nationalities. The main religions in China are Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Protestantism (popularly called Christianity). Freedom of religious belief is a basic principle of Chinese government policy.

Economy: China is essentially an agricultural country with 80% of its population consists of peasants. The development of Chinese modern industry began in the mid-nineteenth century since the founding of the PRC Repéblica productivity has been increasing, and for over 40 years, including the two very last decades has increased dramatically. At present, industries with which the country form a relatively complete system. Traditional industries such as metallurgy, mechanics and machinery, petroleum, chemical, textile and light industry have undergone considerable development and have been consolidated.
