China with its population of over 1.3 billion people must surely offer the world's greatest range of photo portrait opportunities! Communist China is located in Eastern Asia, bordering the East China Sea, Korea Bay, the Yellow Sea, and the South China Sea, between North Korea and Vietnam.
China is the world's fourth largest country (after Russia, Canada, and the US) and its present skyrocketing economic expansion is attracting tourists and business travelers alike to its vibrant growing cities.
Tourists are now welcome in this once secretive country and you will find a wide range of hotels and resorts across the country to meet any budget. China's cities are well linked to South East Asia by air and road - you can even take a train from Hanoi in Vietnam all the way to Beijing ! You can make reservations in 49 cities and towns across China with Hotelz Asia.



For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation.
After World War II, the Communists under MAO Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people.
After 1978, his successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled. For much of the population, living standards have improved dramatically and the room for personal choice has expanded, yet political controls remain tight.
