| China China is home to some of the richest history and tradition in the world. You can view modernity in the large cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. You can also see monuments and proof of cultural history, like the Great Wall of China and the Silk Road. Finally, there's no shartage of natural wonders, such as the Himalayas (more specifically Mt. Everest) and the Yangtze River. |

| Forbidden city impressed me a lot... Standing in the middle I was just like experiencing the Dynasty of China.. Great Wall took my breath away. What an amazing art piece where so many people sacrificed their family and life to create a tale of the world.... |

| I posted the following on another topic. I think, probbly, it will be helpful for your china tour planning. China differs amazingly from east to west,south to north.Each part has its featured aspects.Beijing,Shanghai,Xi'an terra cotta warriors and horses, Guilin-Yangsuo three Gorges and Tibet are long been known to visitors. For the tourists' first taste of China, the above places are good choices.The imperial city-Beijing,china modern city and financial center-Shanghai, ancient city Xi'an with a strong cultural atmosphere, the picturesque landscape along Guilin Li river, the gorgeous scenery along the Three Gorges and mystic highland Tibet. Besides of these popupar tour destinations in China, the places in west China become more and more attractive with the improvement of the facilities.Most west china cities such as chengdu, Kunming, Guiyang, Lanzhou and Xining are easy to access now. The scenery in Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai etc. is thrillingly beautiful.West China are the originating places of many rivers and it is occupied by the mountain ranges. The local minorities life especially the Tibetan nomads show you another peaceful lifestyle. Generally speaking, you have a lot of choices while travelling to china.I will be very glad to answer you any questions about china tour.Please contact me by: china-tour-expert@hotmail.com |

| China is the place known for tradition, it also contain beautiful places places in the world.But people have to be aware of scams happening to foreigners. Hey everyone, since my publication of ads for work I have been requested for several shady deals here in thebeijinger. SO i want to post this out for =eople to beware scammers out there. Anyways, from the start this guy sounded a bit strange, but I just assumed his =nglish wasn't very good so he couldn't communicate well. Here's the =tory: I just recently posted an ad on here looking for work and got a call from = "professor" of ligong da xue telling me they have some sort =eeting and they want foreigners there, and because I was looking for part-time =ork as an actor this would be good. (which means to me they are looking for =ctors?) First he said he worked for the university, then he said that the meeting is =or the Olympics and put up by the Olympics. And I would have to be on for 5 =inutes talking about the olympics and beijing. Now i'm a bit confused in how the olympics has anything to do with =igong daxue, or acting, but I continue listening and asking for more =etails. And he said there will be many companies and businesses there. So i ask =quot;is this setup by the Inernational Olympic Committee, or the China Olympic Committee? Of which he says that the meeting is put up by many =ompanies. So i ask, who is putting this meeting up exactly? Of which he now replies =enovo. (hmm... confusion level rising) Now i'm thinking How does Lenovo, the olympics, acting, their school and I =ave anything in common? He's obviously beating around the bush on something. Most calls that are for =egit work call and tell me right away where they work, what they are doing, =hat they need and the pay. This guy was just not being clear about anything. =ut anyways, i passed it on to a chinese speaker so he could speak to them =n Chinese. Then he tried explaining, in Chinese, while my friend got all the details and =hen the guy somehow just got either a)upset or b) really nervous as to =iguring out his scam. So he cut the conversation off while insulting =s. When I called him back to tell him to speak to foreigners more directly so we =an understand and not say things that aren't, he started yelling and =nsulting me in Chinese with very advanced language such as: F*#$ your Mother... etc =tc. Now, i've never heard any professor here in China using such language =o that immediately told me something was up. Anwyays, now I keep getting harrassing calls from him, telling me he has my phone =umber and that i should be scared. (scared of what? I don't know. I can get a =ew phone number just as easy as i got this one lol) But seriously. Guys, beware of anyone calling saying they're from ligong =axue. |
