    China's People

    There are about 55 million ethnic minorities in China, each with their own distinctive customs
    costumes and, in many cases, languages. Though rich in culture, and varied, together they
    make up only about seven percent of the population, with the main group, know as Han Chinese,
    accounting for rest. Modernization of society and intermarriage are inevitably leading to the
    dilution of these differences, but many groups remain proud of their heritage and retain their
    traditional beliefs and customs. Many have beautiful styles of dress (especially of the women),
    and these costumes and cultures have become a major attraction to visitors, who bring trade to communities.
    Dorling Kindersly Travel Guide (2005) p. 24

    A few of the easier things about learning Chinese:
    - Unlike many European languages, Chinese has no irregular verbs or noun plurals to learn, because
    words have only a single form, with no suffixes for tense, number, case, etc. (There are some particles
    which work somewhat like tense endings, but they always take the same form, no matter what
    they are added to.)
    - It is said that Chinese speakers are usually tolerant of a foreigner's mistakes--perhaps because
    so many Chinese themselves speak standard Mandarin Chinese as a second language.

    If you would like to know a few of the harder things about learning the language... go to:

  • How hard is Chinese?
    or
  • Why is Chinese so damn hard?



    China is forever linked to its ancient civilization, friendly people, and many of the worlds most revered treasures, such as The Great Wall, Terra-Cotta Warriors & Horses and the Yangtze River. Today, one can also find spectacular architecture and towering skylines in Shanghai and Beijing (site of the 2008 Summer Olympics), a wealth of luxury accommodations and as always exquisite cuisine


    Come and see why China is drawing millions of visitors from all over the world. And, why each and everyone of them returns home smiling :)
