All About Traveling in The World

Travel In China

I am an American traveler. After the Olympics I went to visit China with a travel agency called yeschinatour.

In the package, they provided me with trip to Shanghai, Beijing, Yangtze cruise and Tibet. China was big and beautiful, but what really surprised me was the bathroom. Well, the bathrooms in Beijing and Shanghai were pretty decent. We came there in winter and they all got heat in the bathrooms. And actually it wasn’t like most people say that it’s very hard to find a bathroom. It was easy and the signs were clear. You just remember to bring some TP with you. In big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, the best bathrooms I could find were the ones in my hotels. So I usually held until I went back to my hotel to take a leak. The most important thing was, it was free!

During the Yangtze cruise, the ship had bathroom too and it was clean like the one I used in my hotel. But when I got Wu Gorge and switched to a smaller ship, the bathroom was really shitty. The view was good though so I didn’t complain too much. The trip in Tibet was the most ridiculous one. On my way to Shigatse, the view was breath taking, but no bathroom. During this 280 mile trip, our umbrella was the best bathroom we could get. It was the first time in my whole life had I ever gone to the bathroom like that. Oh my god that was hell. The trip in Tibet was actually fantastic. The view was awesome. I miss the days there so much, even the bathroom part. Now back in the US, I always want to find somewhere no one can see and just pee while looking at the sky.

So, umbrella is a very useful tool when you go to Tibet, a handy bathroom, Haha.

Yeschinatour arranged a very nice trip and if you are interested, they provide free trip information and free tour design. I’m not kidding; it was really good and worth trying.

A country with the biggest population on the Earth, a country closed for a several decades; nowadays China is becoming one of the most interesting tourist destinations in Asia. China is one of the oldest states in the world and the only, surviving till today. For visitors China offers a great variety of choices. Whether you are interested in Chinese history, Chinese culture or Chinese scenery, your trip will be very interesting.

Of course, those who like to know China should visit its Capital – Beijing. Beijing is a capital city for over 800 years now. Thirty-four emperors have lived and ruled the nation in Beijing and it has been an important trading city from its earliest days. Now Beijing is a modern metropolis, but you still can see the traces of the Chinese glorious story – Forbidden City – the largest and best-preserved imperial palace complex, a section of the Great Wall and the largest sacrificial complex in the world – the Temple of Heaven. In the old part of Beijing people still leave in small houses, that don’t differ from those their ancestors lived in. (more…)
