Holidays in China

The People's Republic of China, commonly known as China, is the largest country in East Asia and among the largest countries in the world. China's capital city is Beijing.

China now has a complete range of hotel choices in all price categories, from luxurious five-star suites to deluxe mid-priced hotels and clean, comfortable rooms even in the cheap hotel category for budget conscious travellers.

Familiar chains such as Sheraton, Holiday Inn, Hyatt, Hilton, and Ramada now operate deluxe hotels throughout China as well. Business travelers note that China has come a long way even since the early 1990's in terms of 16 service, management, and facilities. All 4 & 5-star hotels have complete business centers with computer and secretarial services available. .

China has many large and famous cities:

Beijing — capital city, cultural center and host of the 2008 Olympics
Shanghai — China's largest city, famous for its riverside scenery. Major commercial center; many shopping opportunities
Xi'an — a former capital, terminus of the ancient Silk Road, home of the terracotta warriors.

During the last few years, China has modernized its domestic air, train, and highway systems to meet the influx and demands of foreign travellers. There has been a vast improvement in ease of travel throughout the country. Virtually all of China is linked by one of the new domestic airlines since the de-regulation of the national carrier system, and the creation of these new regional carriers has greatly improved domestic airline service.

English is spoken at most locations tourists are likely to visit, departure announcements and travel schedules are in English, and there are often separate ticket counters for foreigners.

While China is a year-round destination, the months of May, September, and October are ideal months for travel anywhere in the country. In the north, the winters are cold, and summers are warm, with moist monsoon air streams making it hot (80% of China's rainfall occurs between late May and early October, mostly in the Southern regions). June through August is a good time to visit central and northern China. Spring and autumn are the best months for travel in Southern China. The months of March and April are the lower-priced shoulder season; while the lowest price, off-season travel, is from November through the winter months. This is when adventuresome travellers are rewarded with unbelievably low prices and far fewer fellow tourists.
