Why Not Plan Your Travel to China Now
Americans are tourism lovers. Before settling on familiar destinations, consider a country you might have overlooked: China. Here are 5-A reasons why China should be the choice for your next destinations.
China is Amazing. China is a living Museum of historical and natural wonders. By visiting iconic sites like the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in Beijing, you will experience a 5,000-year-old civilization. Nature enthusiasts will also find China’s landscapes awe-inspiring. You could explore the surreal sandstone spires (better known as Avatar mountains) in Zhangjiajie National Park, or marvel through the stunning limestone karsts of Guilin. The diversity of China’s geography—from lush rice terraces to dramatic desert dunes—ensures an unforgettable experience for all travelers.
China is Accelerated. As the world’s second-largest economy, China is filled with many dynamic cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. These cities showcase top-tier architectural designs, advanced infrastructure, and vibrant cultural life. From iconic skylines and intelligent public facilities to magnificent shopping malls and immaculate streets, China’s dynamic cities embody modern (if not futuristic) urban living. Visitors can enjoy theme parks like Disneyland in Shanghai and Universal Studio in Beijing, each considered among the newest and arguably the best in the world.
China is Affordable. With a wide range of budget-friendly accommodations, dining options, and efficient transportation, it’s estimated that a trip to China cost 20–50% less than similar trips to Japan or Europe. China’s tourism industry has also been offering discounts on entrance fees to attractions and designing events for global travelers. Exploring one of the oldest civilizations doesn’t need to break the bank. China is a no brainer if you are seeking a cost-effective destination filled with adventure and discovery.
China is Accessible. U.S. visitors are eligible for China’s 240-hour visa-free transit policy at major international airports in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. For longer stays, you can typically obtain a tourist visa within a week. By the way, the application documents required for tourist visa has been simplified recently. There is no need to worry about providing round-trip air ticket booking records, hotel reservation proof, itineraries, or invitation letters. Once you arrive, you’ll find that getting around the city is effortless thanks to the convenient and reliable public transportation system. High-speed rail systems, modern airports, and well-maintained roads also ensure smooth travels across different cities.
China is Amicable. The Chinese people are peace-loving and hospitable, either in the mega-city or in the remote mountain areas, foreign travelers will find themselves at home. You can enjoy the Jiaozi in Beijing, Hotpot in Sichuan, seafood in Fujian and roast lamb in Xinjiang, and all kinds of mouth-watering cuisines. Safety is another key advantage. China consistently ranks as one of the world’s safest countries for travelers, offering modern amenities, welcoming locals, and a secure environment to ensure a stress-free walking journey. In China, relax. Walk alone in the evening and take taxi late in the evening is pretty safe.
Mark Twain said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” Exploring new destinations allows us to forge connections, learn from others, and deepen our understanding of a country and the world. Don’t hesitate. Plan your trip to China and embark on a journey of wonder, learning, and unforgettable memories.
