Posted by Kent Pinkerton | Travel and Tourism | Saturday 22 March 2008 4:43 am

China is one of the most exciting world travel destinations in the orient. A country that has contributed volumes to mankind in the fields of art, literature, and politics naturally appeals to the heart and soul. China has given birth to the likes of Hieun Tsang, Fa Hien, Confucius, Mao Tse Dong. Some great inventions such as paper, silk, and compass are also associated with the nation. So it is not much of a surprise that China tours have gradually become very popular in recent times.

During China tours, the best of China hotels are to be found in prime cities like Beijing, the capital of China, Shanghai, Xian, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. The downtown area or the Wangfujing shopping district or the Xidan commercial street in Beijing, the Pudong commercial and industrial district in Shanghai, Yuxiang Square, Central Bell Tower and Drum Tower in Xian and the heart of Causeway Bay in Hong Kong are the main locations for China hotels that are some of the finest world hotels. The rooms of most of the China hotels reflect the true Chinese spirit with the Chinese style of architecture and décor. Bright colors, typical ethnic structural patterns of China, a profusion of rich silk fabrics – all go on to set up the living quarters of the hotels that you are bound to check in at during your China tours.

Hong Kong Shopping in a Nutshell

If you are a women, or just love to shop you will definitely LOVE Hong Kong.Central Hong Kong’s Central district houses many shimmering skyscrapers and marbled shopping atriums and malls. Hong Kong has over 35 shopping malls and is growing daily. I would estimate that every luxury brand in the world has a footprint in the retail segment of Hong Kong at one location or another.

The contrast between the old world markets and designer boutiques provides variety and excitement to any shopping day. Scattered among the government headquarters and financial and banking houses are a wealth of opportunities for any shopper. The Landmark, The Galleria, Prince’s Building, Alexandra House and the ifc mall are the main shopping centers, with designer shops and exclusive brand names in abundance.
