China Tour

China is not only a massive country with thousands of factories and overcrowded cities, with a total population of more than one billion people, but also one of the most intriguing and diverse tourist destinations. The third largest country (after Russia and Canada), it has everything a foreigner could want: architectural monuments from one of the most ancient civilizations, national parks with diverse climates and nature, modern metropolises and small provincial towns that have managed to preserve their original culture, incredible sand beaches, and inaccessible snow-white mountain tops. Over the last 30 years, the number of tourists has increased significantly, and China now ranks sixth in the world in terms of tourism. However, China was once considered one of the most closed-off countries for tourism. It wasn’t until the end of the 1970s that the situation altered dramatically, and the government took significant action. For example, in 1988, the island of Hainan in the country’s south was granted provincial status, and tourism became a main industry in its economy; factories were relocated from the shore to other places, and beaches were built into compact worlds. Nowadays, China continues to attract tourists and execute visa-related reforms.
