LET CHINA SLEEP,

FOR WHEN SHE WAKES,

SHE WILL

SHAKE THE WORLD.

WHERE?

Antique yet up-to-the-minute, familiar yet unrecognizable,

outwardly urban but quintessentially rural, conservative yet

path-breaking, space-age but old-fashioned,

China is a land of mesmerizing and eye-

opening contradictions.

NANJING + CHINA

Home Base: Nanjing, one of China’s four ancient capitals.

Nánjīng, Jiāngsū’s capital, lies in the southwest

on the lower stretches of the Yangzi River. It’s

one of China’s more pleasant and prosperous

cities, with wide leafy boulevards, chic

apartment blocks and mile-high office towers,

set among a beautiful landscape of lakes,

forested parks and rivers.

LEARN CHINESE,

LIVE CHINESE

Nánjīng is a cosmopolitan mix of old and new,

where crumbling ruins stand side by side with shopping

mega-plazas. Home to several excellent universities and a

large foreign student population, the city boasts many

international restaurants and a lively nightlife.

- Lonely Planet

The third-largest

country and the

world's largest

population, Chinese

culture is rich,

diverse, endlessly

surprising, and

will hit you

like a ton of

bricks.

- Fodors

A journey of a

thousand miles

begins with

a single

step.

- Chinese proverb

“I heard” is good; “I saw” is better.

- Chinese proverb.

“What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede

on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - it's the too-huge world

vaulting us, and it's good-bye.

But we lean forward to THE NEXT CRAZY VENTURE beneath the skies .”

- Jack Kerouac

To move, to breathe, to

fly, to float,

To gain all while you give,

To roam the

roads of lands remote,

To

travel

is to

live.

- Hans Christian Anderson
