Review of China in general by Cat199

Advantages: Great Wall, history, unique experience
Disadvantages: Enormous language and cultural barriers

Back in 2004, I decided to take a six month career break and further decided that I would occupy most of this time by taking a four month trip around Asia. I also toyed with the idea of South America, as just like Asia, there are several countries there I ... Read review

Extremely thorogh and detailed review by supercityfan
Fascinating stuff. I'd heard from friends and colleagues that have been there that the food is really not up to much. It's somewhere I've always had a yen to visit but not yet made it. I'm so sure I'd appreciate all the starring and photos though, it would make me feel incredibly self-conscious. Lexy by Bollinger28

Excellent Business Class Hotel
Review of Sofitel Westlake, Hangzhou by emimiao08

Advantages: Good location, view from some rooms
Disadvantages: Back-facing rooms don't have a good view

From the outside, the hotel doesn't look impressive, especially when compared to other hotels in Hangzhou such as the Radisson, in the city centre, or the Grand Hyatt, which is right by the lake. One thing that does beat the hotels based in the city ce ... Read review

Welcome to Ciao. Interesting to see someone writing about Harbin here, I've been a couple of times, though too late in the year for the ice festival. I'm surprised you didn't say more about the city - its size, industry and history, for example. by torr

For someone who visited China twice I dont feel you actually did anything other than eat.... if you add more information about CHina as a country not as a take-away I will come back to re-read/rate for you :o) by kappaslappa
If you lived and worked with the people of China and came away with the notion that the only difference is that the food is better than a takeaway, I can only guess that you did not join in with activities, or sightseeing, or learning about the culture. Since this category is about the culture of the country from a visitors point of view, I found it very limited indeed. by thingywhatsit

A good start to a review on China in general ~ I would also like to know more about the country and think this would be better suited in a category about the Chinese New Year. by tange
I found this interesting but I don't think it's in the right category. I don't know if there is one specially for Chinese New Year or not but think under this heading your review ought to say more about China in general. Pat.t x by patriciat
