Mike's China

Mike's China  By Mike Dixon

There was a time when tourists needed to join a group or hire a guide to visit China. Those days have gone but the myth remains. Part of the problem is the description that is often applied to the country.
 
We're still told that China is an emerging economy. This gives the impression of inadequate transport, substandard accommodation, poor sanitation and all those other things associated with the "underdeveloped world".

Fun tales and advice for the independent traveller to China. Lots of pics.
