rules for first-time China travelers

If you have no plan to join in China travel deals and want to travel alone, the following rules you should abide by for the first-time China travelers.

“First is language. People have to be prepared for the experience of not speaking their language. It can be a very humbling experience if you're in a place where no one around you speaks your language.

“Second, be open to trying new things. When you travel around China, there's an incredible culture in the cuisine, but it’s very foreign to most people.

“The third thing concerns shopping. People are convinced that coming to China, things are cheap. I say, 'It’s not cheap.' There are things you can find that are inexpensive and of good value, but it’s not so cheap.

“Fourth is to get a local contact. You can eat in a great local restaurant and get better quality for half the price of a tourist place if you know the right person.”

If you still have other questions you can contact China tour agents who will give you the information you need. But I think these four rules are most important.
