What attracts us from China? What is it that makes the mere mention of his name remove our adventurous spirit and incite us to wander the Wall of China, discover the ancient traditions of its ancestral peoples, or reminisce nostalgic Chinese history through its green fields rice. Is it your exoticism? Is it not rather the many years that this country was closed to tourism?

Tourist destinations in China

Undoubtedly, the first tourist place in China is the one that leads us to its capital, Beijing, which today everyone knows as Beijing. The one of the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the conflictive Tiananmen Square, or its traditional neighborhood of Nanchizi.

But behind Beijing, there is Xi'an, famous for the discovery of the impressive warriors of Terracotta, or Leshan known for its huge Buddha sculpture sculpted on red earth, or Suzhou, which is known as the "Chinese Venice".

Also, leaving politics aside, we could get lost in the heights of the Himalayas to go to Tibet and climb to its capital Lhasa, and the monumental and white Potala Palace, or simply be more realistic, more banal, and locate ourselves among the huge skyscrapers of the commercial Shanghai, the other great city of the country.

I have not forgotten, much less, the Great Wall, but it is worth a point and apart, for its history, its magnificence, its symbolism, and because it is undoubtedly one of the great achievements of humanity, an unforgettable memory for any self-respecting traveler.

Weather It is such an extensive country that different climates converge in it, so you will have to focus on which destinations you will choose. While in the east there is a monsoon climate, in the north the climate is much drier and in the Tibet area, as is logical, it is extremely cold. The rains, on the other hand, are more normal in the southeastern part of the country.

Coin

The yuan is the local currency. In Hong Kong, if you approach, you should keep in mind that there is also the Hong Kong dollar.

Language

The official language of the country is Mandarin Chinese. However, in large cities you will find plenty of places to make yourself understood in English, especially in commercial or tourist establishments.

A separate issue is that you decide to travel to the country to look for work. The internationalization of China is allowing more multinationals to be established there, multinationals that, due to their commercial relations, require workers of different nationalities. The same happens with the increasing demand for native teachers of other languages, so even going to China to practice as a teacher of Spanish could be a great option.

In any case, if any of these are your choice, you should consider receiving classes and learning to speak Chinese. In the end, even if your language at work is native, in your day to day you will have to defend yourself in the local language, Chinese.
