In the late eighties, I was very lucky to go on a trip to Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan and Hong Kong, China. We went on a business/pleasure trip. I highly recommend using a China, Japan travel tours group to get the most out of this fabulous vacation. As with any ancient culture, the Japanese and Chinese cultures are fascinating as well as being very beautiful countries. There are a multitude of Japan and China travel information sites online to help you in your interests to these countries. Using a China tour travel agent to help guide you and save you money on a China travel package is key. I will never forget that trip. Hong Kong was a spectacular mix of eastern and western living. Tokyo is very much a bustling, huge city with all the big-city entertainment, while Kyoto is so beautiful and serene in many ways. The people and the food in both countries were great and the Chinese and Japanese people really tried to speak English. Many do, I on the other hand, used a lot of sign language. I would love to visit again and see other parts of these two captivating countries. I would definitely take advantage of the China travel package deals online.
