The Emerging Superpower
of the World: China is the emerging superpower of the world.
Economically and politically China is rapidly emerging as a
major influence on a global stage. China's economy has already
overtaken that of Britain and France and has been predicted
to eclipse the American economy by 2020. According to The Economist
2005, "the great fortunes of the next millennium will be won
and lost in China." Living and working in China will not only
be an enjoyable social experience but a visionary career move
and an excellent addition to your CV. |

uplifting techniques of Tai Chi, the discipline of the Shaolin

of Chinese calligraphy and paintings, the evocative charms of
Beijing opera and the mesmerizing displays of Chinese acrobatics.

The Best Food in
the World: Eating out is a major part of the Chinese social
life. The Chinese love to dine out in restaurants and will proudly
explain each type of food to you. There are a huge variety of
flavours and provincial dishes all of which taste much better
than the Chinese food in Britain- be sure to sample the spicy
dishes on offer in Sichuan Province, share some dim sum in Hong
Kong, the exquisite seafood along the Chinese coast and don't
forget to include Beijing Duck and Mongolian Hot Pot whilst
in China. |

Breathtaking Scenery
and Natural Beauty: China has a variety of sceneries and
landscapes which are notorious and envied all over the world.
Visit the Buddhist monasteries leading up to the snow-capped
mountains of Tibet, ride horses and camp out overnight in the
yurts of the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, sit back and relax
as you sail along the famous Yangtze river, marvel at the pandas
of Chengdu or accept the challenge of the Tiger Leaping Gorge
in Yunan. |

A Great Social Life
and Amazing Retail Therapy: China is booming and it can
be felt all around you. In Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and
China's numerous major cities, prepare to be amazed by the bright
lights of thousands of restaurants, cafes, bars and nightclubs.
The young Chinese really know how to party and the cities stay
awake all through the night. In the daytime, the clothes shops
are full of the trendiest Western designs, you can find discounted
DVD players, iPods and computers and an abundance of cheap gifts
and presents for friends and family back home. |

A Most Welcoming
Host: Many Chinese will come and greet you in the streets
with the line "Ni chi fan le ma?" The translation of this is
"have you eaten yet?" and is a welcoming offer into their house
to sit and eat with them. This is typical of Chinese hospitality
and you will often feel like royalty when living in China. The
Chinese will almost always demand to pay for your meal at the
restaurant, buy you drinks, accompany you around the local sights
and welcome you into their homes. They are interested in you
and your country and are more than proud to have you as a visitor
in China. |

sense of excitement and anticipation is sweeping the nation.
The world's spotlights will be on China and they promise to
hold the most spectacular Games in history. The atmosphere will
be incredible, there will be an influx of people of all nationalities
and there will be an array of opportunities for business and
trade. |
