Before you visit China, throw out most notions of dictatorship and a Communist party ruling the country with an iron fist. Generally, the true hardline politics and the oppression of dissidents, especially Tibetans, represents a real and unfortunate piece of the puzzle.

China is still known for its zodiac scheme, its beliefs about lucky numbers, the use of chopsticks, the smells of unfamiliar foods, its population density, the pollution, smoky temples, tea and slippers, the country is now equally world-renowned for its ultra-modern technologies, many of which are being used to internationalize and reshape its already diverse culture.

Testimonials
I’ve been to China twice before, but those trips were kind of lame. You listed and described where all the most amazing spots could be found – even places I hadn’t heard of – and, since I can’t personally travel with you, I now carry your book on all my travels just to make sure I don’t miss out on anything cool again.
By following your itinerary for China, I was able to discover a new side of the country and culture. This was a fantastic opportunity for someone in my field. Had I planned this trip myself, it probably wouldn’t have been as mind-blowing. Your research gave me the guidance and inspiration to have an unforgettable experience, so thank you.
