It is feasible, although never recommended, for a traveler to visit Beijing without ever laying eyes on the Great Wall. I was forced to do this on my first trip to Beijing, passing through on my way to XinJiang. It wasn't until 5 months later that I was able to spend enough time in the city to finally ... Details

Like some of TCG's other columnists, I am living in China because I am working as an English teacher. It's seems the ideal way for somewhat more adventurous people to make a living abroad for a while, and I get many questions about the 'how and what' of teaching English in China.

Xi'an is one of the most visited cities of China, which is no wonder with the world famous Terracotta Army just over a one hour drive away from the city center.

Xi'an's rectangular walled inner city houses many of the ancient city's well-known sights such as the Bell tower and the Old Mosque. The city's two most celebrated places however, can be found outside the historic city center. First, there is the world famous Terracotta Army at about a one hour drive ... Details
