China

China! Great place to travel! China is home to almost as many things to do and places to visit than the size of the country itself (9.5 million square km).

Whether the Great Wall of China is on your bucket list or seeing Zhangjiajie, the supposed inspiration for the Hollywood movie Avatar, there is something for everyone!

A word of warning, traveling in China can be quite a culture shock. Split crotch pants are most definitely a thing.

Strange and confusing border customs exist, and the sheer number of people can be extremely overwhelming. But don’t let that deter you, the sights around China are well worth the troubles!
