Despite its forbidding image, China is open for business and welcoming visitors! Touring China whisks viewers through as much of the country as can be seen without a visa--just over an hour of lush landscapes, quiet teahouses, busy Shanghai streets, and of course the Great Wall. Mixing dynastic and colonial history with the modern struggle for identity, this production ignites the imagination and whets the desire to travel in even the most obstinate homebody. China has much to see and do--from opera to shopping, from riverside walks to mountain climbing. Art and culture are well preserved--the interested traveler could spend a lifetime of learning in the museums alone. Touring China covers it all and more, giving enough material to plan over a dozen vacations. --Rob Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie about my homeland. Yes., March 5, 2002

I definitely recommend this video to anyone who is considering vacationing in china, my homeland. Watch "Touring China" and you'll know which attractions to see (the Great Wall), and which to avoid (the subway in Taiyuan has rats as big as cats).

You will also learn where to get acupuncture treatment as well as the location of the best noodle bar in Peking (now known as Beijing). Did you know that the Han Dynasty used to celebrate the Dragon on the 3rd day of every month?

The video is a "must have" flick for the educated person who wants to learn more about China.
