china travel agency, china travel tips With the Summer Olympics going on, we are certainly learning about China travel information. NBC is covering the games through its Today Show venue during the day, and then at night, they are broadcasting the events. It's pretty interesting stuff. They are giving all sorts of China travel tips, from the food to eat to the clothes to wear. The big news is how terribly polluted the air is in Beijing, even with drastic cuts in factory and automobile emissions. The air looks dreadful, and the news teams from the US who are covering the events are unabashed in their descriptions about how bad the air is. I wonder if older people or those with breathing problems to start with are encouraged by a China travel agency to visit Beijing when the air quality is better (if this pollution is seasonal), or to wear breathing masks. There are pockets of really bad air in the US, too, but it is seldom that the air quality exceeds the EPA limits for being really unhealthy. Places like Houston, TX, Riverside-San Bernardino in California and Phoenix, AZ (in the winter), come to mind.
