[quote=JABAROOTOO,38710]It's not as difficult as you may think. Anyone can do it. It begins with a desire to see the world, the rest is up to you and what you choose to do. I agree that visa's for the solo Chinese are more difficult to come by but this will change, I'm sure as more people prefer more independant travel. This does not however stop you from seeing your own country first. It is huge and so very interesting and could possibly take a lifetime to explore in any depth. But again it all depends on what you consider interesting. Here is an example. Chongqing is surrpunded by some very pretty little villages that still retain much of thier natural character. They have timber stilt house overhanging small streams and I have been interested in visiting one particular one for some time. A couple of friends have been and I have seen thier photos and it was also featured on CCTV 9's Around China programme last year. I happened to mention to one of my Chinese colleagues that I was hoping to take a freind there at the end of the month but wasn't sure that we had the time. i would love to stay overnight and enjoy the small town atmosphere. Her immediate response was to tell me that there was nothing interesting there so I asked her if she had ever been. Her answer...'Yes just this past Sunday"' She went with her friends. It saddened me that she felt this way. I love to explore these old towns. There are so many stories just waiting to be told about these places and the people who live in them. [/quote]
