Visiting China - A Kid's Guide for Foreigners
Hi there! My name is Lily and I'm a 10-year-old Chinese girl living in Beijing. If you're a foreigner planning to visit my amazing country, I'd love to share some tips with you to make your trip awesome!
First up, be prepared for a real adventure! China is a huge place with tons of cool stuff to see and do. From bustling cities to quiet countryside villages, we've got it all. But don't worry, I'll help you figure out the best places to go.
One of my favorite cities is Beijing, where I live. You've gotta check out the Forbidden City - it's this massive palace where emperors used to live. The buildings are so beautiful and colorful! Just be ready to do a ton of walking. My legs always get tired exploring there. The Great Wall is another must-see. It's an incredibly long wall built a really, really long time ago to protect China. You can actually walk on parts of it! How cool is that?
Shanghai is another awesome city, especially if you like bright lights and tall buildings. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower looks like a giant ball on a stick - so weird but so fun to see! The Bund
is a nice place to walk along the river and see the city's skyscrapers.
If you'd rather get away from the busy cities, may I suggest visiting some smaller towns? Lijiang in Yunnan province has adorable stone houses and waterways running through it. It feels like stepping back in time! The rice terraces in villages near Guilin and Yangshuo are breathtaking too. Rows and rows of green pools carved into the mountains - simply gorgeous.
Speaking of food, you'll find lots of fun snacks sold by street vendors. Grab a skewer of crispy, mouth-watering meat kebabs or a warm, sugary jianbing (crispy crepe) for a tasty treat while exploring. Just don't get too greasy!
One thing that might seem strange is seeing lots of people practicing tai chi, sword dancing, or playing games like mahjong in parks or public spaces. We Chinese love doing group activities like that outdoors. Feel free to watch - it's pretty neat!
I should probably mention that English isn't spoken everywhere in China. Lots of signs will be only in Chinese characters. Learning a few basic Mandarin phrases can really help you get around easier. Stuff like "Thank you" (xiexie), "Hello" (ni hao), and "How much?" (duo shao qian?) will come in super handy. Don't be shy about using hand gestures too!
One major cultural difference is that we use both the words "yes" and "no" a bit differently than you might be used to. We often say "no" as a way to be polite before agreeing to something. Like if you ask for directions, someone might initially say "No, no" and then give you the directions you need. It's not really a "no"! And instead of a direct "yes", people might just repeat the question as an affirmative response. For example:
You: Is this the way to the Forbidden City?
Chinese person: Is the way to the Forbidden City.
It can take some getting used to, but you'll catch on quickly!
Ooh, I almost forgot to mention transportation! Taxis, buses, and the metro subway are awesome ways to get around cities without hassle. Lots of people also use those cool, affordable rental bicycles you can find parked all over the place. Riding a bike is an amazing way to see more without wearing yourself out too much.
Well, I could go on and on, but I'll stop here for now. Just get ready to be wowed by China's incredible history, bustling energy, mouthwatering cuisine, and incredibly kind people. I'm so excited for you to experience the wonders of my country! Let me
know if you need any other tips to have an unforgettable, fantastictastic time in China!。
