To see the beauty of China visit the city of Dalian. They have several wonderful parks and attractions. The air is clean and the people are extremely friendly.
I visited in August and the temperature was much warmer than expected so bring light weight clothing. The food was wonderful and the selections are many including choices from Chinese dishes and Western dishes all prepared delightfully. The prices are very reasonable and portions are more than you can eat.
I look forward to a return visit.
