Experience old China in the southeast-central villages of Huangshan

      Known as one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in China, Huangshan is situated in Huizhou region of the country's southeast-central province of Anhui.

  You might wonder why this is even a question. But in fact, the Chinese-speaking world has its own big Lunar New Year celebration (in 2021, it's 12 February), and so while much of the rest of the planet makes a big deal out of New Year's Eve tonight, for many of the nearly 1½ billion inhabitants of this vast country, it simply isn't all that much of a thing.

    I can´t say I´m super motivated to go back to China per se, but I am very interested in Tibet - and the Robb Report says now is the time: https://robbreport.com/travel/destinations/tibet-best-time-to-visit...

    Having been to a number of places in China, including Peking, Shanghai, and Xian, I find myself uninterested in going back in part due to my distaste for the dictatorship. I was thinking of making a single exception next year for Tibet, but then I read this - same old bullshit: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/03/politics/china-travel-advisory-s...

    China is vast enough to provide visitors with a lifetime of travel experiences, and after biggies including Peking, Shangai, Xi'an, and others, there's a wealth of lesser known places like Tengchong and Leshan, both covered in CNN Travel's recent look at a dozen and a half under-the-radar gems in Asia: https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/asia-underrated-places-intl-...

    China's continuing and drastic COVID-19 restrictions are hitting tourism - especially domestic - hard, leading desperate provinces to slash ticket prices, offer tax breaks, and even beg locals to help save plummeting tourist earnings in a sector that employs tens of millions of people: https://skift.com/2022/04/19/chinas-thriving-domestic-tourism-now-s...
