Few destinations encompass as much tradition, history, culture, and natural scenery as China. If you are a hardcore independent traveler who has long had a fascination with China and you really want to uncover the soul of the country, it’s probably best to start by visiting the main tourist places first in order to see whether you really like it. After that, and especially if you’ve somehow studied the language, you could be ready for a multi-month independent trip all around China to explore its deeper nature.
