China is a very large area country with oriental myth, normally people make a little study on China and make a detailed plan before coming to China. i think this is very important for the “first time China”.
In fact, everyone can easily come to China by himself, China local’s travel facilities and services is good enough to cater any customers from other countries. So for people who are planing to travel China, there is no need to join any tour group before coming to China, just go by himself, enjoy freedom and flexibility, also save money from the agency fees.
Let me tell you how easy it is to travel China by yourself:
First, book a round trip international flight to China, search a best deal you can find online or by your agency.
Second, book a China hotel online, choose a hotel or apartment you like, remember choose a hotel in city downtown and check this hotel’s reviews. try China local travel site for better rates.
Third, study more about the place you are going, make a list of places you want to visit, and foods you want to taste.
Forth, book a Chinese English-speaking tour guide/service online if you need guide to visit the sightseeings. why book online? because its much cheaper than through your local agency, book China tour service directly online saves. book a private tour if you have your own friends with you; or book bus if you are going along or budget.
Most China hotels accept credit card, so don’t worry about the hotel payment, but do remember to carry some cash, since China’s most commom way is still pay in cash, if you want to shop or go to restuarant, you need cash for the payment.
