Famous Places in china For Your Holiday
Travel tips for your trip to china Hotel Maps Famous Places in china helps you to make your trip to china in the holiday a Splendid One
China is a country on the move. Peasant farmers are moving to the cities in vast numbers and creating a huge growth in production and demand of resources. In this push in creating the modern China I hope the things that have made China great in the past are not forgotten. China is so huge and there is so much to see this list is almost impossible to limit to just 7, but I'll try.
The following list is my top seven spots I'd like to see in China. I included the province of Tibet in the list, but exclude Taiwan sites from the list - as Taiwan is not part of communist China despite the parties one China policy. To avoid political controversy let's just say this list is the top 7 of mainland China.
Shenzhen city
in China is famous for its shopping centers. Huaqiang Bei and SEG Electronics Markets located here give you a great bargain on electronics goods. Huaqiang Bei is one huge complex exclusively for electronics. From resistors and LEDs to mainframe computers, this place sells everything and is a haven for tech lovers. Batteries from Sony, Canon, Dell etc are also available here. SEG Electronics Market is the best place for building your computer; the prices are not fixed and are negotiable. Behind the SEG Electronics Market, you will find smaller malls selling un-branded laptops, ipods, iphones and mobile phones. Second hand things are also available here.
The Forbidden City.
Just the fact for much of its history an average pleb like me would have been kept out is reason enough to visit. To see the last palace of the Emperors. Even today look at a Google map of Beijing and its not hard to spot the forbidden city from the air. Not just the size of the place and the architecture, but the ornamental details such as the Chinese lions and the Imperial five-clawed dragons which hold interest here. While in Beijing which many will be for the Summer Olympics 2008, there are many temples and sites to see and a visit to the summer palace should also be included. The new Olympic venues like the bird nest stadium and bubble swimming center will be architecture wonders for decades after the games have finished.
The Great wall of China.
A wall thousands of miles long just has to be seen. It not my first pick because in reality much of the wall is in ruins. Not all the wall was made from stone. Some sections were compressed mud, but the aim was the same - to separate civilized China from the barbarians of the north. It failed at times as the Mongols clearly showed, but it was still an impressive construction feat. There are restored sections of the walls for the tourists, but to be honest its the original ruined sections that have more interest for me - as well as more history and character.
Mount Everest
The tallest mountain in the world. Apart from the amazing height - you likely to suffer attitude sickness even at base camp, visually Everest is a stunning mountain. Add to that the yaks, Sherpas and isolation in the plateau on top of the world and you have something that attracts the adventure. I have no desire to climb the mighty mountain, one I'm getting too old and second going into any death zone isn't my cup of tea. But to climb some of the slopes could be fun.
Xi'an
Serving as the Capital to 11 Dynasties over 4,000 years you know there has to be something special about this site. The Xi'an City Walls 14km's long, give you the sense traveling back in time. You can imagine arriving in a caravan from the west seeking China's special silk and other products. Within the city as numerous pagodas, temple and places of interest including the Shaanxi History Museum.
The Terracotta Army
1000's of life-size pottery figures modeled after soldiers of the era. The tomb of the first Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi is yet to be fully excavated. The Chinese have great respect for their ancestors so they are moving carefully with this project, though I for one would love to find out what other hidden treasures are yet to be discovered.
Shanghai
The bund is not technically Chinese but a hang over from the colonial exploitation of China by the western powers and Japan, which is must be said was a disgusting period of history with Britain and other nations forcing Opium on the Chinese populace - the drug trade is disgusting, to then enforce that trade at the point of the gun is despicable. The bund is the waterfront of Shanghai with a 1920's art deco feel. Other must see places in Shanghai include the Shanghai museum, Yu Gardens and Bazaar
Finally the South West - in particular - the Landscape around Yangshuo, Guangxi - towering cliffs with rice paddy's and river give the traditional Chinese feel as China was for thousands of years. These weathered limestone formations from Karst are a photographers dream and inspired thousands of landscapes.

Travel tips for your trip to china Hotel Maps Famous Places in china helps you to make your trip to china in the holiday a Splendid One
Shanghai can be classified as a dynamic city in one of the world’s fastest changing country, China. This exhilarating metropolis is giving home to China's dreams and setting the pace for the world to follow.
It used to be a site frequented by foreigners for adventure and fun but now has been taken over by homegrown business tycoons and the landscape is dotted with skyscrapers engulfing the ancient Chinese culture and heritage. The city of Shanghai sees changes crop up on a weekly basis and people work seven days a week in order to capitalize on this opportunity the city has to offer.
Getting around in Shanghai
The city of Shanghai is home to the second-largest international Airport in the world and is accessible from major capitals of the world, and if you could not find a direct flight you are able to fly in through Beijing or Hong Kong. The city is better connected to the adjoining provinces by train and air networks. It is an ideal starting point for the journey into main China and for the convenience of the country being online, you can book your train tickets and tour online. Shanghai is a very large city and it is not a good idea to navigate it on foot although you may enjoy strolling around pedestrian areas like the culturally preserved Shanghai Xin Tian Di street.
This sprawling city is easy to explore if you use the taxi or the metro system. The linked train network and constantly growing metro is very fast, economical and efficient. It is a good idea to avoid rush hour as the system is working on its full capacity. You should only use the buses if you are aware of the bus routes and the stops you need to reach because the city is large and you can get lost in a different area that you do not mean to arrive at.
Cost of living
Shanghai is one of the world’s most expensive cities competitive to European destinations. The greatest expense is Shanghai accommodation, which can be quite pricey even in midrange hotels. A good idea is to look at the serviced apartments in Shanghai. When you select an apartment in Shanghai, you can get the large space for the price of a room in a Shanghai hotel. These apartments are fully equipped with modern day amenities like all functional kitchens where you can prepare your own meals, concierge services, fitness centers and swimming pools.
It is advantageous for businessmen who would like to conduct meetings in the privacy of their apartment rather than spend money on hiring a meeting room at Shanghai hotels. You can select from the vast variety on offer when it comes to Shanghai apartments and choose one that meets your budget and lifestyle requirements.
There are many local Chinese restaurants where you can enjoy the special cuisine of the country. Or you can ask the concierge service to assist you in acquiring groceries so that you can prepare a home-cooked meal in the comfort of your apartment in Shanghai. Cafés and bars in Shanghai are quite expensive and especially if you are spending on beverages and drinks.

Health and Medical Information for china
Travel tips for your trip to china Hotel Maps Famous Places in china helps you to make your trip to china in the holiday a Splendid One
As the Chinese economy continues to grow and expand the country is being seen as a major international market, and this is drawing many corporations from all over the world to Beijing and Shanghai in an effort to build their profiles in the Mainland market. Many of these companies have no history of working in China and have encountered a myriad of difficulties stemming from the cultural confusion. The difficulties that foreign corporations are having in the Chinese market are readily viewable in the nation's insurance industry which is, for the most part, dominated by Chinese insurance companies.
China has, at current count, 135 insurance companies working in and around the country; however foreign corporations and investment only account for 7% of the total Chinese insurance market. This is despite the fact that over 47 insurance organizations located in China are funded by foreign owned entities, showing that despite the eagerness of foreign enterprises to enter the Chinese market they are having great trouble doing so. There are some exceptions to this trend though, with companies such as Royal and Sun Alliance, who have a history in China dating back to 1853, and it is this experience that has allowed R&SA to become one of the most successful foreign insurers on the mainland.
One of the main reasons that foreign insurance companies are trying so hard to enter the Chinese market is due to the increase in expatriates in the country. In recent years more and more overseas nationals have been relocating to the People's Republic of China in order to capitalize on the massive growth in the economy and take advantage of the unique lifestyle and opportunities that the mainland offers. With the increase in expatriates also comes the need for western style insurance and protection, and as a result the interest from international and foreign based insurance organizations towards the Chinese market has also boomed.
China Health Insurance
Why then, if these corporations are so interested in establishing themselves on the mainland, are they having so much trouble doing so? Part of the issue may be due to certain cultural and societal issues towards which foreign nationals often have a hard time adjusting. Understanding the Chinese marketplace can be difficult, and it is partly due to this that the only foreign owned insurance companies in China that are enjoying great success are the ones, like Royal and Sun Alliance, that have a long history of providing high quality products to individuals throughout China.
It is this ability to bridge the cultural gaps that still, to some extent, exist between the Western and Asian economies that help to make a successful international insurance company, and sadly many top class international insurance companies do not realize this. There are, however, some exciting new changes in the Chinese insurance industry as the economy continues to further open and more and more international investment flows into the nation. The number of foreign corporations accessing the insurance market in China is growing, and will continue to grow, as the nations industrial and technological might continue to grow and gain ground on western competitors.
This means two things, the first is that the number of foreign insurance organizations in China will continue to rise, giving expatriates in the country the assurance that they will be able to deal with insurers offering products with which they are already familiar. This will in turn help more foreign nationals to achieve their full potential in this booming economy and in turn serve to lure more expatriates to the country creating a cyclical effect. The second effect that this will have is towards the innovation and creation of new insurance products and the implementation of higher quality products giving both Chinese and foreign nationals the assurances that they need, that despite whatever happens they will have the protection and services that they deserve at their disposal.
Medical services tend to be offered through local hospitals rather than private clinics. Costs at local hospitals are low and standards vary. Medical facilities in international hospitals are excellent and many common drugs are available over the counter. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments are also used widely in China, such as acupuncture, meridian massage, cupping and herbal medications. Medical insurance is strongly advised.
Food and drink:
All water used for drinking, brushing teeth or freezing should first be boiled or otherwise sterilised. Bottled water, widely and cheaply available, is the most advisable way of getting around this. Be especially careful when eating at small street-side stalls or restaurants where standards of hygiene may not be high. Pork, salad, scallops, snails and mayonnaise may carry increased risk. Vegetables should be cooked and fruit peeled.
Other risks:
Vaccinations against tuberculosis and Japanese encephalitis are sometimes advised. Bilharzia (schistosomiasis) is endemic in the central Yangtze river basin. Avoid swimming and paddling in fresh water. Hepatitis E is prevalent in northeastern and northwestern China and hepatitis B is highly endemic. Sporadic outbreaks of avian influenza (bird flu) have resulted in a small number of human deaths. Rabies is present. If bitten, medical advice should be sought immediately. There are occasional outbreaks of dengue fever.

Short History Of china and Culture
Travel tips for your trip to china Hotel Maps Famous Places in china helps you to make your trip to china in the holiday a Splendid One
China is the oldest continuous major world civilization, with records dating back about 3,500 years. Successive dynasties developed a system of bureaucratic control which gave the agrarian-based Chinese an advantage over neighboring nomadic and hill cultures. Chinese civilization was further strengthened by the development of a Confucian state ideology and a common written language that bridged the gaps among the country's many local languages and dialects. Whenever China was conquered by nomadic tribes, as it was by the Mongols in the 13th century, the conquerors sooner or later adopted the ways of the "higher" Chinese civilization and staffed the bureaucracy with Chinese.
The last dynasty was established in 1644, when the nomadic Manchus overthrew the native Ming dynasty and established the Qing (Ch'ing) dynasty with Beijing as its capital. At great expense in blood and treasure, the Manchus over the next half century gained control of many border areas, including Xinjiang, Yunnan, Tibet, Mongolia, and Taiwan. The success of the early Qing period was based on the combination of Manchu martial prowess and traditional Chinese bureaucratic skills.
During the 19th century, Qing control weakened, and prosperity diminished. China suffered massive social strife, economic stagnation, explosive population growth, and Western penetration and influence. The Taiping and Nian rebellions, along with a Russian-supported Muslim separatist movement in Xinjiang, drained Chinese resources and almost toppled the dynasty. Britain's desire to continue its illegal opium trade with China collided with imperial edicts prohibiting the addictive drug, and the First Opium War erupted in 1840. China lost the war; subsequently, Britain and other Western powers, including the United States, forcibly occupied "concessions" and gained special commercial privileges. Hong Kong was ceded to Britain in 1842 under the Treaty of Nanking, and in 1898, when the Opium Wars finally ended, Britain executed a 99-year lease of the New Territories, significantly expanding the size of the Hong Kong colony.
As time went on, the Western powers, wielding superior military technology, gained more economic and political privileges. Reformist Chinese officials argued for the adoption of Western technology to strengthen the dynasty and counter Western advances, but the Qing court played down both the Western threat and the benefits of Western technology.
Almost any analysis you care to read these days informs us that China stands to become the most important nation on Earth in the coming decades. The concept of collective dominance is by no means a new one to the country – in broad summary, its history has alternated between periods of disunity and periods of strong national togetherness.
The first time the Chinese were truly united into a single empire was under the Qin Dynasty – builders of the Great Wall – in the 3rd century BC. Power then passed into the hands of the less controlling Han Dynasty for four centuries, after which there was a long period of bitter internal conflict.
The last dynasty, the Qing, survived until 1911, when Sun Yat-sen founded the Republic of China. The Japanese invaded in 1937, resulting in eight years of brutal occupation. When the invaders were eventually repelled, civil war ensued between nationalists and Mao Zedong’s communists. In 1949, the victorious communists founded the People's Republic of China, giving rise to the notorious Cultural Revolution.

Short History Of china and Culture
Travel tips for your trip to china Hotel Maps Famous Places in china helps you to make your trip to china in the holiday a Splendid One
China is the oldest continuous major world civilization, with records dating back about 3,500 years. Successive dynasties developed a system of bureaucratic control which gave the agrarian-based Chinese an advantage over neighboring nomadic and hill cultures. Chinese civilization was further strengthened by the development of a Confucian state ideology and a common written language that bridged the gaps among the country's many local languages and dialects. Whenever China was conquered by nomadic tribes, as it was by the Mongols in the 13th century, the conquerors sooner or later adopted the ways of the "higher" Chinese civilization and staffed the bureaucracy with Chinese.
The last dynasty was established in 1644, when the nomadic Manchus overthrew the native Ming dynasty and established the Qing (Ch'ing) dynasty with Beijing as its capital. At great expense in blood and treasure, the Manchus over the next half century gained control of many border areas, including Xinjiang, Yunnan, Tibet, Mongolia, and Taiwan. The success of the early Qing period was based on the combination of Manchu martial prowess and traditional Chinese bureaucratic skills.
During the 19th century, Qing control weakened, and prosperity diminished. China suffered massive social strife, economic stagnation, explosive population growth, and Western penetration and influence. The Taiping and Nian rebellions, along with a Russian-supported Muslim separatist movement in Xinjiang, drained Chinese resources and almost toppled the dynasty. Britain's desire to continue its illegal opium trade with China collided with imperial edicts prohibiting the addictive drug, and the First Opium War erupted in 1840. China lost the war; subsequently, Britain and other Western powers, including the United States, forcibly occupied "concessions" and gained special commercial privileges. Hong Kong was ceded to Britain in 1842 under the Treaty of Nanking, and in 1898, when the Opium Wars finally ended, Britain executed a 99-year lease of the New Territories, significantly expanding the size of the Hong Kong colony.
As time went on, the Western powers, wielding superior military technology, gained more economic and political privileges. Reformist Chinese officials argued for the adoption of Western technology to strengthen the dynasty and counter Western advances, but the Qing court played down both the Western threat and the benefits of Western technology.
Almost any analysis you care to read these days informs us that China stands to become the most important nation on Earth in the coming decades. The concept of collective dominance is by no means a new one to the country – in broad summary, its history has alternated between periods of disunity and periods of strong national togetherness.
The first time the Chinese were truly united into a single empire was under the Qin Dynasty – builders of the Great Wall – in the 3rd century BC. Power then passed into the hands of the less controlling Han Dynasty for four centuries, after which there was a long period of bitter internal conflict.
The last dynasty, the Qing, survived until 1911, when Sun Yat-sen founded the Republic of China. The Japanese invaded in 1937, resulting in eight years of brutal occupation. When the invaders were eventually repelled, civil war ensued between nationalists and Mao Zedong’s communists. In 1949, the victorious communists founded the People's Republic of China, giving rise to the notorious Cultural Revolution.
By the end of the 1980s, there was widespread agitation in favour of political reform, and action against the corruption that had become widespread. The situation came to a head in May 1989, when several thousand students and workers occupied Tiananmen Square. The army was sent in and the square cleared with great loss of life.
