China is one of the oldest civilizations on earth with more than five millennia, the birthplace of paper, silk, gunpowder, tea, and much, much more. And maybe this is the last bastion of communism or the birthplace of Confucianism. As rightly said one American leaders: "China - is not just another country, it's another planet, where creatures inhabit a completely different race, the motives of words and deeds which are subject to the iron logic of the millennia, to the average person has no reasonable explanation."
Even today, in no hurry to open its secrets to anyone, these people "middle state", for which we are just "people from the suburbs." Maybe we're too young and not mature enough to understand them, because at the time when the Gauls destroyed the Roman Empire and Kievan Rus took the Chinese Christians already being used paper money. Why are we going again and again to China to become a real Chinaman standing on the Great Wall, visit the legendary Shaolin Temple, to see the terracotta army of Qin Shi Huangdi and the Forbidden City, or simply soak up the sun on the beaches of Hainan and enjoy exotic fruktami.Ili we want to personally to see the contrasts inherent perhaps only to China, where the glittering skyscrapers of big cities are combined with hutongs and lifeless plains of the Gobi Desert in the north striking contrast to the tropical paradise in the south of the glaciers and the eternal cold "Roof of the World" - Tibet. Or maybe you want to take a closer look with the fabulous bear - a panda or a meter salamander. China is interesting not only for the inquisitive traveler - an unforgettable shopping in Hong Kong and Yabalou, are cheap to buy a fur coat, pearl, carved furniture, or cell phone, or try the Peking duck washed down with its 70-degree vodka.
