China is stirring on the international stage—with over 30 million international visitors annually, there are a whole host of reasons why China is worth visiting. Here are a few interesting reasons to visit China in 2016.

China is growing and expanding at an exponential rate in every single way imaginable. From industry to tourism, China appears to have the world by its coattails.

In order to better understand China’s position on the world stage, let’s take a look at a treasure trove of facts about China which make it an increasingly interesting place to visit for either work or pleasure; a holiday, group tour, or otherwise.

Ladies, let’s take a look at China by the numbers:

30 Million
30 million is the approximate number of international guests that visit the country of China year in and year out. This great quantity of international travelers within the nation of China keeps china tours specialists busy, that’s for sure.

One in Five
One in five is how many people on the entire planet live within the national boundaries of the country of China. That is a lot of people.

9.5 Percent
9.5 percent is the average growth rate of China’s economy (GDP) for the last 30 consecutive years. That is the best, most reliable and equitable GDP growth rate in the world, making China the planet’s fastest growing economy, hands down.

000,000,000,000
When the amount of exports coming out of China is discussed in US dollars, the figure is followed by twelve zeroes. China’s exports are counted in the trillions of USD.

Countless Attractions
The number of tourist attractions in China is staggering, and can be counted in the thousands. With its vibrant cultural festivals, centuries-old remnants of civilizations’ past, and innumerable natural wonders; China is a natural, historical theme park from national border to national border.

Some tourist-pleasing wonders of China include the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Gobi Desert, and countless river cruises along the Yangtze and other rivers. And these are only for starters.

141
The last time I counted the number of mountains in China was 141, and that number includes some of the highest mountain ranges on the entire planet—mountains like Mount Everest, Gasherbrum I – IV, and Muztagh Ata. That’s 141 more reasons to visit China.

Thousands of Rivers
A country with thousands of rivers that are lined with mountains and visceral caves make for thousands of unique tour opportunities. Thrill-seekers can visit any one of China’s tourist-friendly rivers both above and underground. Your choice of river tour can add an exotic, romantic element to your China trip, as some of the rivers throughout China are incredibly picturesque.

Centuries-old Tourist Attractions
Some tourist attractions in China have been shown to tourists far and wide for centuries, meaning that the existence of some of these attractions goes back many thousands of years. One such attraction is the Reed Flute Cave, located in Guilin, Guangxi, China.

The Reed Flute Cave is one of China’s oldest more ornate caves open to the public, and is surely a sight to see. It has been made famous for its captivating scenic hallways, stalagmites, and well-preserved historical artifacts.

Shopping
Shopping in China is unlike shopping in any other country in the world, and you may need to pick up a new suit case to accommodate the wealth of goods that you can find at any shopping outlet while shopping in China.

China’s modern cities make up a shopper’s paradise, and everything from jewelry to cutting-edge electronics can be had for very little.
