Some years ago, China
passed the US
to become the biggest single market of international tourism
industry that is worth of tens of billions of US dollar. There is no doubt that
more and more international tourists will choose China as an amazing place to visit.
Some words like amazing, oriental or mysterious can be used to described the
nation’s rich and old traditions and culture as well as beautiful and
magnificent landscapes and architectures. However, because the country
possesses a very different culture and traditions , you can be able to face a
lot of difficulties. However, when you have found out those differences in China in compared to other popular travel places
like Europe or the US,
you will find those very interesting and great. In the post today, I would like
to suggest to you some problems or difficulties that you will easily find in China.

The first problem you have to
face when traveling to China
is of course the language barriers. It is true that in China there are
few people speaking English or other popular traveling foreign languages like
French or Spanish. Of course, it also greatly depends on the areas or places
you are going to visit in China
to see those language barriers. For example, if you are visiting a tourism
places rather than a non-tourism places, you may not find that language
problems. Meanwhile, if you are going to visit and explore yourself remote
areas and meet local people there, you will hardly see anyone speaking English.
Or even in popular tourism hubs to foreigners like in Beijing, there are also the differences
within the city itself. For instance, if you visit popular sites in Beijing, people there who are mostly tourists guides
rather than local people, language barrier is not a big problem, but if you
visit other places like a restaurant of a Beijing
local, they hardly speak English. Therefore, there is no other ways rather than
having a local tourist guide or learn how to speak Chinese yourself are the
solutions for the big problem of language barriers.
The second big problem that you
may face and find uncomfortable when traveling to China is the transportations. The
main and popular mean of transportation for foreigners in China is
subways. However, it is described that the subway and metro systems in China
are awful. They are absolutely crowded and chaotic. It is crowded simply
because China
is the country of more than 1 billon people and it is quite chaotic because of
that crowdedness as well as the random and unscheduled times of trains and
subways.
