China is a superb tourist destination with a rich history and an enormous number of sights. China is not only a giant of tourism, it is in the middle of an economic boom that makes China one of the leading nations in the world. What makes it attractive as a destination for Western tourists is its fascinating culture and valuable antiquities. Ruins and relics from Neolithic settlements and the dynastic reigns of the mighty emperors are there to behold, along with adventures along the legendary ancient trade routes, such as the Silk Road. The Forbidden Palace, Great Wall, and X’ian’s Terracotta Army, are just some of the incredible attractions to be seen in this ancient Eastern empire.

The Chinese folklore is rich and varied. More than 40 Chinese festivals are known throughout the world. Not a month passes without a festival being observed among one ethnic group or another. The Peking Opera, Chinese acrobatics, music and dance, and traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy-all these never fail to bring immense joy to visitors from all over the world.
