China
China gave itself an Olympic-sized makeover, focusing heavily on tourism for the 2008 Olympics. And, as if you needed a reason before to visit the Great Wall, it was recently selected as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. China is home to the most spectacular temples that side of the Yangtze, and some of its most popular sights (e.g. the Terracotta Warriors, the gardens of Suzhou, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square) continue to draw visitors from all over the world. It’s a place where, in one night, you can try fried scorpion, show off your dance moves at a bar actually called "Propaganda" and take down the 5-story karaoke club with your rendition of “Sweet Caroline”.
*Great place for college students, as many international students come to learn Chinese, and there's always work teaching English.
Highlights: Great Wall … Army of Terracotta Warriors, ancient Forbidden City … Night view of Hong Kong from Victoria Peak … Largest Buddha in Po Lin with hostel and fun hiking … Qinghai-Tibet Railway --$48 one way … experience Westernized China in Shanghai … Keep an open mind, and try that cow intestine …
Best time to visit: March to May and September to November
What it costs:
Student Airfare: from $732 Los Angeles to Beijing
7 nights in a hostel: $56 in Beijing
Can of Coke: 46 cents
Exchange rate: $1 US = 7.55 Ywan
