Vacation Planning for Travel to China
As you start making plans for your summer vacation, make sure you include China in the list. Iâll tell you why.
First of all, we all know China as a beautiful country with a unique culture that is hard to understand; however, you may want to find the answers this summer by taking a trip to China. If you are worried about the language barrier, there is always the option of choosing a reliable tour operator to assist you in planning your tour itinerary. They arrange everything from hotel accommodations, tour guides and transportation within China so you donât have to worry about any problems during your vacation. With their experience in the Chinese tourism industry and the 25 Chinese heritage sites listed on the UNESCO list, reliable China tour operators have travel packages specially designed for your visiting pleasure in Chinaâs most beautiful cities.
Popular destinations in China have different attractions and sightseeing, so planning your China tour is essential. A common tour package purchased by many tourists is the Beijing-Xian-Shanghai tour. This tour package allows you to discover and see the historical city of Beijing and its famous monuments; you also get to see the Terracotta Army and Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xian and finally explore the shopping streets of cosmopolitan Shanghai.
Beijing, the countryâs capital is famous for its historical sightseeing and monuments which include the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Great Wall (chinaâs travel icon), the Temple of Heaven and the National Museum. This museum has all the materials you need, in order to know about Chinaâs history and culture. During your spare time, you can have the opportunity to sample Beijingâs special delicacy â âroast duckâ and witness a typical Beijing Opera. The Beijing Opera is an arts and cultural show which showcases a combination of singing, recitals, acrobatics, dancing and martial arts in order to narrate a story. This is a show you have to witness if you travel to Beijing.
If you have been to New York, then you can imagine what Shanghai looks like. This city is one of Chinaâs oldest cities combining a blend of modernity and old styled buildings. Being the financial hub of China, it boasts of attractive sky scrapers on the North Eastern section in Pudong, while Puxi has some old styled architecture; this contrast is what adds to the beauty of Shanghai. Itâs like an old town in a new town.
Things to do in Shanghai include shopping on the famous Nanjing Road, visiting the Oriental Pearl tower and talking a stroll along the streets of the French Concession area.
Xian is the ancient Imperial city of China. This is the site of the Terracotta Warriors and Army considered to be the Eighth wonder of the world. One of the most significant archaeological excavations of the 20th century, these warriors is a representation of Chinaâs creativity and craftsmanship.
Yunnan is one of Chinaâs provinces very much inclined to tourists and foreigners; this is because of the mild climate and peaceful environment it always have. Known for its wonderful landscape with unspoiled natural resources, rugged terrains and a rich cultural history, the ethnic minorities of Yunnan are one of her greatest treasures. This province is the melting pot of different cultures and ethnic tribes from across China.
It has often been said that China is the backpacking destination of the world; apart from trekking in Tibets plains, Yangshuo and Guilin is the backpacking capital of China. With highlands, plateaus, caves and the beautiful Lijiang River, adventure lovers are guaranteed to have a wonderful time discovering the natural wonders in Guilin and Yangshuo.
There is so much to do, so much to eat and so much to experience during your China tour; itâs not enough to describe in words, so experiencing China firsthand is recommended.

Read up on your selected countries. I have been in France, England and Japan, and know they are pretty safe for women alone.
I hear poor stories about Egypt. And have not heard about the others.
A good website is: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/
The Lonely Planet guidebooks are good too.
They will normally tell you about how safe the country or area is, also for women travelers.
Now you can get many of these guides from the library, or second hand in cheap bookstores.
There are many websites that give information on weather in the countries. Lonely Planet guides and website give the info too.

I would recommend Malaysia as the living expenses here is cheaper than most other countries. You can go to the beaches, mountains, theme parks and do your shopping in Kuala Lumpur. The weather will be warm with occasional rain during the day. As for security, take precaution whichever country you go to.
