What is the best way to visit China? Join a
package tour or make a self-help traveling?
Answer: Most visitors to China prefer
touring with a pre-booked package, since it is
the simplest, the most efficient and the most
comfortable way of traveling. Other visitors
favor self-help travel because it is more

travelers have to arrange accommodation, meals,
sightseeing, and transportation for themselves

language barrier. Meanwhile the self-help
traveling is more expensive.
