i went to China last october and i LOVED it! its exiting and everything is so different. some things may seem kind of shocking (toilets are holes in the floor! not like the ones here, Bikes instead of cars, crazy traffic, etc...) but its overall a great experiance and you will learn so much because the culture is so different. Food is NOT like the chinese food here! some people liked it but others didnt (personal preferance) i recommend you go to the Great Wall, Ti'anamen Square was amazing, Summer palace, and Temple of Heaven were all my favorite. Everything is very cheap including electronics, you just have to know where to go. Vendors tend to want to overprice items, so dont hesitate to tell them if you think its too expensive!

I have been to China a few times, love it, people are friendly, I traveled by train, From Honk Kong to Wanzu (Canton), then to Benjin, I love it, their customs are so intriguing, the food Delicious, did you know the Peking Duck has to be cut in 124 pieces, and each piece has to have skin? After you are done, the take the bones and make you a Delicious sup. I visited all the Buddhist temples, burned incense and made a mistake put some in the fertility Buda, every body was laughing, so did I when explained to me, lol Their traditions are unique, to much to tell here, if you can go, go for it......

I know you asked for people that have visited China, and I am not one, but I can't help but tell about the program on the Three Gorges Dam. I am devistated at the artifacts and history lost to this dam. I never in my wildest dreams thought there was so very much for one country to lose. The graves, the engravings, the towns, the life. I find it quite mind boggling. I truly wish I had been fortunate enough to see this beauty before it became the destructive lake.

I spent six months in China. I didn't care for it. I felt that the culture was way too materialistic, the countryside was crushingly poor, the environmental problems were terribly severe, even the architecture was awful. I enjoyed some of the sight-seeing I did, but even here the Chinese usually ruined historically important sights. Most of the old temples I saw were dead places with no more active monks.
I enjoyed Tibet and Xinjiang the most. The people were friendly, the traditional culture was still alive (sort of). It's funny that my favorite parts of China were the places where no Chinese people lived.

I was born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in the cold extremes of Alaska. I taught in Taiwan 1984-1991 and went I first went to the mainland in1998: Shanghai, it was as though I meet America's true sweetheart! How can these two not not love each other if the world's future is important! It was like brother meets brother, sister meets sister, lover meets lover! Going to China was love at first sight!!!!

Never been there, but a friend who is from China and visits regularly has told me about it. He said that you can go there with 500k and never have to work again for the rest of your life... The women are all thin not because it looks good, but because they can't afford to eat as much as they'd like.

I worked there for 2 years. It SUCKED ! Friendly people? They are laughing AT you not With you. People think they are friendly because they cannot understand what they are saying to them. Food AWFULL. I really cannot think of one thing that I consider to be good about that backward country full of medievil people.
I am glad that I am back in the civilised world.
