Travelling Around China
Travelling around China can be tiring but fun as well. However, how you travel often determines whether your travel will be a success or a failure. Here is some information about how it can be done.
BY TRAIN
Most parts of China can now be reached by rail. Generally speaking, the train service is efficient. However, the trains are sometimes overcrowded, especially on national holidays. The kind of ticket you need depends on the distance of your journey. A hard or soft seat is fine for a short journey. For long journeys,a sleeper ticket is a better choice.
BY SHIP
A number of sea routes exist that can take you from one seaport to another along the coast of China. There are also a few inland waterways. The most attractive one is that from Chongqing to Shanghai. Along this route ships pass through the famous Three Gorges and stop at many beautiful towns and historic sites.
BU AIR
This is often the first choice for those who have limited time to spend on a journey. But, of course, this time-saving advantage has to be paid for—tickets are more expensive. While CAAC used to be the only airline service in the country, there are now a number of regional airlines. The safety record has also improved much over the past decades. Air tickets are available through CITS, at hotel travel desks or in air ticket offices. Most large cities and many popular tourist destinations have their own airports.
BY BUS
Highway networks in China are developing very fast. There are both inner-and inter-city bus services. They are well managed and cheap. State-owned long-distance bus services operate on schedule and are inexpensive. There are also private buses. They run mainly on local routes, and often will not depart until they are completely filled up.
BY BICYCLE
Besides what is mentioned above, cycling is also one of the best ways for travelling around town, unless you are in Chongqing—the only city with very few bicycles because of its steep streets. If you plan to stay in China for some time, buy one as the natives do.
Hope you will find this information helpful during your stay in China.

1. length; the amount of space between two points or places (e.g. distance)

3. of a local area or a particular part of a country which is far from the capital
4. able to be used because it can be found or bought easily
5. not controlled by the state, but owned by an individual person or group

Grammar is important, but you must lay emphasis on the ability to communicate with people rather than achieving higher grades in written tests. You should do away with bad reading habits and form good ones. You do not have to use the dictionary for every new word while you are reading.

Experts also suggest that we should pay much attention to spelling.
