If you want to make the China Tours, and you have not any clue about it, then you will need to check out the China travel map. I’m sure about it will help you to travel to China, especially Travel to Beijing a lot.
China is a country with vast territory and rich resources. It has 9.6 million square kilometers territory and 2.997 million square kilometers maritime territory. If we put it on a paper, the outline of China looks just like a giant grand rooster. If we fill the plateaus, plains, mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, roads, railways in the giant grand rooster then mark the cities, towns, and countryside; I think it even can be used as a map of China. But what does the China travel map which we talk about today looks like? Is it the same as a regular map of China? The answer is very clear, they are completely different. Now I will show you what a china travel map should like.
Before I explain it in detail, I want to ask you a question. What does the word “travel” mean? In the Oxford Dictionary of English, it was explained as the meaning of make a journey, typically of some length journey along (a road) or through (a region) withstand a journey without illness or impairment ,be successful away from the place of origin. For this, what I understand this word is t not only move from one place to another place simply, but it has the meaning of know a place deeply even if comprehend it as well. In another words travel include move, visit, tour even include hike and explore. So the China travel map must contains the information which we need when we travel to some places. What information should in it? Hotel information? Traffic information? Or ticket service? I believe it is necessary of all of those in it. Because if you want to know the information you don’t have to buy a so-called China Travel Map, you can easily know it by make a telephone call to 12580. I feel the China Travel Map that it should be some valuable information. The valuable information involves the origin, history, culture, myth of a place. Ok, I’ll give some examples of Beijing, for this you can experience the China Travel Map vividly.
Most of foreigners are interested in Beijing Hutong. But few people know about why it called Hutong. Even a great many of Chinese people doesn’t know it. Hutong originated in Yuan Dynasty. Beijing is the capital of Yuan Dynasty. Hutong is a word of Mongolian. Its meaning is a well. At that time a well is also a place which neighbors meet frequently. People always chat near the well, for this a well is a sociable place. Now we always see some Beijing native people who live in Hutong chat together after supper in the Hutong in every summer night, therefore we can easily understand why it named Hutong.
Tell you a Myth. Do you know Beixinqiao? Beixinqiao is a place near Houhai (most of foreigners in Beijing know it). In Chinese bei means north, xin means new and qiao means bridge. Exactly! Beixinqiao means “north new bridge”. But why it call new bridge rather than old bridge? There is an interesting myth. At the early time of Beijing was built up, that place which we call it Beixinqiao always flood. The designers of Beijing city found that there is a water monster in that place. Then they caught it and locked it in a well. When the water monster asks the designers what time they could release him. At that time there is a bridge near the well, the designer answered him “when the bridge become old you will be free”. Then the designer named the bridge “new bridge”, which means it will never become old.
Do you think what I told you above are really interesting? I’m sure your answer is yes. If a map with more information like this, I believe that your curiosity can makes you travel to there and you can engage in your travelling, you can even obtain more knowledge that others do not know. Who don’t want to have such a travel? All in all, the china travel map I describe is a map can cause your curiosity and give you more knowledge. Now you can know what should a China travel map like? Now go make the Beijing Tours!
