A land quickly transforming into a major player in the world
China is a country that has always fascinated me for a couple of reasons. First it has some of the earliest civilizations in the world (if you take into account the 5 characteristics of a civilization),Second is the sheer geographic size of it, and third how many people currently live here, and how this society is kept clean and orderly despite its population.
I decided the best thing to do to see this country is take a job for a couple of years in order to travel around and check things out.
Sure you have the major tourist attractions like the Terracotta Warriors, The Great Wall of China, the Pandas, and the big cities, but there is much more to China than these. There is no doubt in my mind that I will visit the tourist attractions, but for now I want to focus on the outlying parts. The parts that people do not really get around to see on a trip here and the people that live in these places….
