Reviews and Travel Advice for Your Next Vacation in China

If you're planning a trip to China, there are many sights to see. Here are a few of them: the Longsheng Rice Terraces, Mount Huashan, the Pearl River area, and Xi'an gorge. Each place has its own unique beauty and charm, so you'll want to explore them all.

Longsheng Rice Terraces

When to Visit The best time to visit the Longsheng Rice Terraces is late September to early October when the rice is ripe and green. In addition, you can visit the region during the harvesting season, from July to mid-September. It is also a great time to take pictures, and the rice terraces are a popular destination for photographers and artists.

Mount Huashan

Mount Hua is one of the most iconic mountains in China, and is located in Shaanxi Province. It is considered the Western Mountain of the Five Great Mountains and has a long history of religious significance. It is an ideal place to visit for those who want to experience the history and culture of China.

Mount Huashan

Pearl River area

You'll find a plethora of interesting sights in and around the Pearl River area of China. First, you'll want to check out Shamian Island, which was home to many foreign merchants in the 1800s. The island is a quieter area than most of the rest of Guangzhou, and you can stroll around and stop for a meal. You'll even find Western restaurants on the island, making it an ideal place to spend your evenings.

Xi'an gorge

Xi'an is the capital of Shaanxi Province in the northwest of China. It is an ancient city that served as the starting point of the Silk Road, a network of roads linking Eurasia to Asia. Xi'an is a great place to spend a day, especially if you have kids. There are several attractions to visit here, including a gorge, a park, and a haunted house.

Lijiang

Lijiang is a charming Chinese town with ancient canals and cobbled streets. You'll find quaint old buildings and pretty rose-petal jam. Although the town is a tourist destination, it still manages to maintain a laid-back atmosphere. There are plenty of places to eat and drink and lots to see and do.

Shanghai

Shanghai

If you are visiting Shanghai, there are many must-see attractions. The city is home to some of the most famous water towns in the world, including Zhouzhuang and Suzhou. There are also many markets in Shanghai, both indoor and outdoor, where you can buy just about anything.

Guided tours in China

When planning a guided tour in China, there are several things to keep in mind. For example, many guides will be reticent to talk about politics, so you may have to think carefully about how you phrase questions. In addition, you should consider where your guide is from. For example, a guide from Tibet or Xinjiang is more likely to know the region better than an English-speaking guide from a different region. Using local guides also supports the communities in the areas where they live.

20 tips for booking a guided tour in China

Booking a guided tour in China is an excellent way to explore the country and discover its unique culture. Traveling to China can be complicated and challenging, so a guide can make your trip much easier. In addition to local knowledge, tour guides provide transportation and easy entry to tourist destinations.

Travel guides know the best times and dates to visit famous sites. Late October through early March is off-season, which means less crowds and cooler temperatures. Typically, tour groups visit popular attractions during the mid-morning or mid-afternoon. However, if you're traveling alone, you should try to avoid visiting these sites during these times.

Restaurants to avoid on escorted tours

There are some restaurants in China that tourists should stay away from on escorted tours. These establishments may not be as authentic as they claim. Also, be aware of government spies. Be careful where you sit and what you say. While there are no laws prohibiting you from criticizing the government in public, it is important to refrain from doing so. Your tour guide will be able to give you advice on safe food and drink options.

There are also escorted tours that focus on a specific theme. These are one-time offerings led by experts in that subject. Research your options and choose the most suitable itinerary. Escorted tours usually cost more than independent sightseeing, but they provide easy entry, expert guidance, and transportation.

Buying a private tour instead of a group tour

One of the advantages of buying a private tour instead of a group one in China is the amount of flexibility you will have while traveling. For example, when you are sick, a private tour will be much more convenient than a group tour. Private tours are also more affordable. Private tours can also be customized to meet your personal needs.

Most China travel tour companies offer a wide range of packages, from the most economical to the most luxurious. They can also provide itineraries that span a few days to a few weeks. Some people like to plan their own itinerary, while others would rather leave everything to the experts. It all depends on your needs, budget and personal circumstances.
