China’s vast land. The endless diversity of cultural relics, the fascinating people and China’s changing urban landscapes have great appeal.  The Purpose of Travel and Tourism 旅游的目的 Each traveller has his or her own reasons for traveling. Visiting new places allows the tourists to:  Appreciate the Be exposed beauty of to sites of nature historical Participate in events cultural events Make new Enjoy friends cultural Become encounters tolerant of Experience other cultures life in another language  Transportation 交通运输 With an aggressive effort of the Chinese people to improve their country since the founding of the PRC in 1949, a comprehensive transportation system of railways, highways, airroutes and water transport has been constructed and developed quickly.  Railroads 铁路 China’s extensive railway network serves both domestic and international destinations. There are a number of types of trains such as quasi-high speed trains, fast trains, express trains, non- stop express trains, and standard trains.  The Qinghai- Tibet Railway started operating on July 1, 2006, opening the last major area of China to rail  Highways 高铁 Most towns and counties are now reachable in China. With a network of expressways, frequent dispatches of modern coaches and simplified check-ins, it is possible to reach almost any destination by bus or by car.  Civil Aviation 民用航空 Domestic airlines radiate from Beijing to all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, large cities, and border and remote areas.  Waterways 水运 The major inland navigable rivers in China include the Yangtze River, the Pearl River, the Heilongjiang River, the Huaihe River, the Qiantang River, the Minjiang River, and the Huangpu River, as well as the Grand Canal between Beijing and Hangzhou.  Travelling Styles 旅行方式 If travelling alone, the most comfortable, but also the most expensive, is to book a full individual package tour through a travel agency. A qualified personal guide from a Chinese travel agency is available in each town to help the travellers arrange a sightseeing program.  Booking a mini-package tour offers a little more flexibility. The travel agency is responsible for booking flights, accommodation and transfers, while travellers have the responsibility of planning the sightseeing programs themselves. Travel independently has become more and more popular in China in recent years, due to  The simplest and most comfortable way of travelling to China at a reasonable price is in a group. Travellers will have their itinerary, hotel accommodation, meals, and sightseeing program booked in advance. The price offered by the travel agency will cover nearly all expenses incurred during the trip, so they will not have any additional costs except shopping.  Planning a tour 旅行计划 Planning is essential to ensure a safe, enjoyable travelling experience. The plan should include learning about the local customs and etiquettes before the journey in order to avoid offending others with inappropriate behaviours or dress.  When to go 时间选择 China enjoys a variety of climate zones, so the best time to visit depends on your favourite season and the weather you like.  What to bring 购买物品 “Lightweight” and “Compact” are two words for you when you are deciding what to pack.  When traveling 旅行期间 Travel Insurance 出行保险 Buying a travel insurance to cover theft, loss, trip cancellation and medical problems is sensible. Many travel agents can arrange it for you. On the off chance that you have to make a claim later be sure you keep copies of all documentation with you.  Emergency 紧急情况 Hopefully no emergencies will occur during your travel in China but, just in case, here are some useful telephone numbers for your information.  Phone Service Number 110 Police 114 Local Telephone Number Inquiry 116 Domestic Long Distance Inquiry 117 Time Inquiry 119 Fire 120 Ambulance 12121 Weather Forecast 122 Traffic Police 184 Post Code Inquiry 185 Emergency Mail  Safety 安全 Be cautious with your personal belongings in public places. Also, be aware of the local customs and taboos in some scenic spots to avoid any conflicts.  What to buy 买什么 There are many exotic and unusual things to buy in China that make wonderful souvenirs and gifts for relatives and friends back home. Overview Lead-in Activity Chinese Tourism Discussion & Presentation 69 Discussion The recent online exposure of a teenager from Nanjing who defaced a 3,500-year-old Egyptian temple has provoked nationwide scrutiny of such poor behaviour abroad. Many people said the behaviour had damaged the image of Chinese tourists. Discuss with your partner about other negative behaviour of Chinese tourists and how to exercise good manners when travelling. Then share your ideas with the class. 70 Discussion Some Tips for Travelling Abroad Buy your tickets when commuting through Public transport though no one checks really but if found penalties are quite high. Tips are usually given in restaurants. Around 10-15% of the bill amount. Never ever cross road when the signal is Red. Cross the road only when signal shows crossing sign. 71 The End 72
