Faye's List of Articles, Websites and Social Networks to Follow for China Bound Leisure Travellers

After I compiling a list of article, website and social networks for China bound business travellers, now it is leisure travellers' term:

• China National Tourism Office Website - This should be your first stop before you plan for your trip. The comprehensive website gives you straightforward information about China and its major cities.
• Before heading to China, do you need a visa? what to pack? worried about SARS? This article (click here for full article) should answer all these questions and more.
• China Trip Videos (YouTube) - A little self promotion here. This is a Beijing video from the last group I led. More China related videos in production. Stay tune.
• One of China's biggest attraction is shopping! My favourite! But shopping in China is an art form. Here are some rules and myths you should know.
  
• Learn a little Chinese - English is not very wild spoken in China. It will definitely help to learn a little basic Chinese. If you are lazy or too busy and have an iPhone, be sure to download the free app called iTranslator to take on the road. This translator translates other languages too. It is best free language app I have found so far. There is also a paid option for voice service.
• HongLaoWei (YouTube) - This one is just for fun! HongLaoWei is a Caucasian man who enjoys making videos about China (especially the Communist aspect of China) in Chinese. China is a great country to travel to and explore, but you will encounter aspects of it that are unfamiliar to you, just keep an open mind. After all, this is why we travel.
