China Vacations

China Vacations are a great deal of fun. There is so much to see and do!

Inexpensive Vacation Ideas

• One of the best ways to travel to China is on an organized tour. You can travel by yourself, but China is a vast country where traveling on your own and setting up an itinerary by yourself could be a daunting experience.

Tours get excellent discounts and some of the savings is passed on to you.

• If you consider a tour, comparison shopping with different travel agents is warranted here since the costs may vary significantly.

• Check online and/or with a reliable travel agent to find the best times for cheap flights to China.

• Traveling during the off season (or between seasons) can help you get substantial discounts. Crowds will be less and you can enjoy the scenery more. Be careful you don’t book during the cold of winter part of the off season-- unless you would enjoy this.

I have been to China twice (on tours that were both in April). The weather was great and we had a fantastic time traveling to various cities such as Beijing, Qufu, Chengdu and more.

• Research the airline rates on line. For more info see: Book Travel Online.

Lhasa Tibet is the home of the Potala Palace (previously the residence of the Dalai Lama) and many fascinating monasteries. Lhasa is located at 11,450 feet and only has about 68% of the air at sea level. The air is crisp and clean and when you swing your hand though it you can’t feel a breeze.

Qufu China is a quiet little town with a rich and long history. It is the birthplace of Confucius and the world’s first university. Qufu is currently home to the Confucius Culture University. Its mission is to promote the study of Confucianism and influences on Chinese culture and society.

I have been there during a vacation to China and had a wonderful time. The people are fantastic and the history is rich and rewarding to learn.
