| _Group Travel The simplest and most comfortable way of traveling 
                    to China at a reasonable price is in a group. Participants 
                    will have their itinerary, hotel accommodation and meals, 
                    and sightseeing program booked in advance. The price offered 
                    by the travel agency will cover nearly all the expense occurring 
                    during the trip, so you will not have any additional costs 
                    except shopping.  As soon as you arrive in China, a tour guide 
                    supplied by the local travel agency will pick up you at the 
                    airport. He/she will accompany you in the future days and 
                    is in charge of taking you to the scenic spots. If your group 
                    has more than ten members, a permanent Chinese guide will 
                    be allocated in addition to the local guides.  All these guides are very competent, both in 
                    terms of organizing the trip and in their knowledge of the 
                    country and its sights, and their ability to communicate. 
                    They could deal with all kinds of situations and help you 
                    to avoid many difficulties, greatly enriching your trip in 
                    China. Besides your appointed itinerary, some tour 
                    operators also offer trips around a theme regarding Chinese 
                    civilization such as calligraphy, acupuncture, martial arts, 
                    or sometimes language.    |
