Since China opened its arms to travellers from all over the globe in the 1970s, the country has experienced massive growth and change.
In fact, it is believed that in less than 10 years, the country will become the first tourist destination with the world's largest number of visitors.
Thousands of tourists visit China every year now, to learn more about its ancient history and the positive future which lies ahead.
There aren't many cultures with a history as long and fascinating as China's, which makes it a very attractive destination to many adventurers looking for an authentic travel experience.
Knowing when to go is very important. If you're planning on visiting China's north-east region, you can expect sweltering summers and icy cold winters. In the south, you'll find a semi-tropical climate.
The best time to go is generally during China's springtime and Autumn.
If you are planning a China tour, there are some things you just cannot miss. Travellers have to see the Great Wall of China - an architectural wonder, the Forbidden City in Beijing, Xi'an's Terracotta Soldier Museum and the Giant Panda's of Chengdu.
China has wide variations in culture, language, customs and economic levels. The economic landscape is particularly diverse. The major cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai are modern and comparatively wealthy. However, about 40% of Chinese people still live in rural areas as of 2018; despite the fact that only 10% of China's land is arable. (source - Wikitravel)
