Visitors are often surprised to find out how
modern China really is. Since the early 90's China has been in the
middle of a building boom and infrastructure upgrade that has brought
its tourism industry up to Western standards almost overnight.
Tourist facilities and transportation in large cities are almost on
the same level as of the United States. All major cities and tourism
centers have undergone a total metamorphosis in visitor comfort and
transportation facilities. Complaints of poor facilities, service
or transportation have all become memories of the past.
Today you can tour China with ease and safety (the crime rate is very
low there), stay in comfortable 4 & 5-star hotels, try new Chinese
delicacies, enjoy familiar Western cuisine, shop in modern designer
boutiques, or explore centuries-old markets and shopping arcades.
You can tour the countryside in modern motor coaches, relax in first
class train compartments, or speed to the next destination by jet
while exploring one of the oldest cultures of the world, and seeing
some of the most extraordinary sights any where and there is much
to see in this vast country of 1.3 billion people.
