China holds a special place in the imagination. Children across North America grow up believing that if they dig a deep enough hole in their backyards, they eventually will wind up in China. Small wonder, then, that everyone dreams of visiting this exotic, mysterious, and magical place. What would you find when you travel to China? You would discover a vast, diverse country that holds many of the world's most famous and spectacular sights. You would marvel at the modern world's longest continuous civilization (over 5,000 years) today quickly reemerging into contemporary life. You would see a billion smiling faces from all generations, and hear "hello" in a dozen different languages and dialects--including English. You might stay in some of the world's most luxurious hotels. And you would feast in the manner of the emperors. Now is the time to visit China and enjoy your stay there.
