The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has long been seen as an enigma in the West. Since economic reforms began in 1978, opening up the country to foreign investment and allowing for private business, the pace of the move of China from the class struggles of the days of Mao’s Cultural Revolution to today’s economic powerhouse has been staggering.
Today, it is the Chinese tourism boom that is astonishing the world – both that of the new middle class of China exploring the world, as well as travel to China, now the third most visited country on the planet, extraordinary given that it was almost impossible for tourists to visit the globe’s most populous country until the late 1970s. Taking into account the huge size of the country and the difficult language barrier, China for the majority of visitors revolves around an organised highlights tour, which is a suitable introduction for most, or an extended backpacking sojourn for the more intrepid travellers.
