There is famous saying about Traveling is:
“Travel opens your heart, broadness your mind and fills your life with stories to tell”.
It would not be wrong to give life another name for travel. Travel takes you through every experience of life. It is a combination of experiences and joys. And if travel is to a beautiful country like China, it doubles your experimental life. I had heard about China since childhood that this nation is a very hardworking nation, very sincere with its work. And China is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. But when my practical journey began to China. When I got there, I found china's twice as beautiful and people hardworking as I had heard.
I have always tried to find out why China is a very developed country. But I have not been able to find the answer. Because maybe you can't reach a final result unless you stay inside a nation and observe its strengths and weaknesses. But when I arrived in China, I found answers to my questions by looking at their principles and integrated systems in each field. China is a developed country under its own principles and an integrated system.
As China is very beautiful, developed, civilized and cultured country. It is not difficult but impossible to describe every aspects of China. But I will mention a few aspects of my story that have gone through my experiences.
As a medical student, I would first like to mention China's medical field. China's medical system is an extraordinary system. There are a few flaws in every system. But China's medical practical system is very high. Students from all over the world come to China to become doctors. Every year, thousands of students graduate from the Chinese Medical Universities and go around the world to show off their skills. And I am very happy to be studying medicine in a civilized nation with a very high medical system.
The standard of development of a nation depends on its medical system and its fair attitude. I would like to give an example of how justice and humane the Chinese nation is.

When I was admitted to a hospital in Changsha. But I am very happy to tell you that the attitude of the medical staff there towards me did not make me feel that I was admitted to any foreign hospital. I was admitted there for about 14 days because GOD has given me an observant mind so I observed a lot but the attitude of the medical staff there was the same to every poor and rich patient and they were doing it for the service of humanity. I still remember the head of the surgeon coming to me every day to ask my health even he gave me his personal number. I took a photo with all the doctors when I was discharged from the hospital. I really sincerely thank them for taking care of me and making me feel the warmth of my family. I will never forget them in my life Why a nation with this attitude should not develop.
This was just a small aspect, but if you look at any aspect of China, you will see an integrated system for one accused. That is why this nation is one of the most civilized and developed nation.
Handicrafts is regarded as the treasure of Chinese traditional culture, which have won unique good reputation at home and abroad for the long-standing history and rich categories. Chinese handicrafts are largely derived from civil and obtained raw material locally, relevant with people’s livelihood such as paper cutting, clay figurine, sugar painting, wood carving, batik, kite, fan, plaited straw articles, woodcut new year picture.
Chinese handicrafts can be taken as one of the best cultural productions created by this innovative notion. There are countless artisans contribute themselves to this art field. You may think the norm abstract, intricate, or mysterious, but when you see close to some works, you would feel an undercurrent of power flowing in them.
Embroidery is the art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread or yarn. In this way, it has been practiced for decades.
Embroidery is one of a number of Chinese arts and crafts with a millennia-old history. Many believe embroidery developed subsequent to silk production. Whether its techniques originated first in the homes of villagers as a handicraft or were begun and refined by skilled artisans within palaces or the sumptuous homes of wealthy merchants or officials is impossible to determine, and indeed is probably irrelevant. To meet the demand from foreigners, embroidered linen and linen-like tablecloths, napkins, place mats, and table runners are now common in the embroidery shops in China. Today, silk embroidery is practiced nearly all over China. The Four Famous Embroideries of China refer to the Xiang embroidery in central China's Hunan Province.

In September 2018, our school took all foreign students to visit a small town called “DAOLIN” near Changsha city in Hunan Province. When I was traveling in Daolin Hunan, I visited the museum there. I learned about the history and culture there. I saw the handmade pottery. I also saw some interesting murals. I was very creative and imaginative. I really like this one wearing a Chinese Tang suit. The pig is very cute. Take a picture with it. The pig is one of the Chinese zodiac signs. There was a cultural life on its history that cannot be described in words. That culture can only be observed by looking at it. There we visited ancient Chinese handicrafts, the unique buildings of the ancient town and the ancient opera stage. There we learned about Chinese embroidery culture such as handicraft culture and architectural culture. Chinese people created brilliant handicrafts when they conquered the nature in more than thousand years. These multiform artworks are with the same age of Chinese history which is more than 5,000 years. It is the crystal of Chinese wisdom. In this vast land, various kinds of handicrafts tell people different regional legends as well as the unique culture only existed in China.

Because the embroidery work there was very impressive and classic. The all foreign students were very impressed with the embroidery of the Chinese people. There we also wrote our names on embroidery. The students there taught us how to embroider. We also wrote our name on the embroidered handkerchief. Finally, we raised the handkerchief and took photos with many Chinese students studying embroidery there. We were very happy and excited. We had lot of fun there. A special type of Hunan embroidery replicates traditional monochrome ink-and-wash paintings by deploying silk floss in shades of black, gray, and white. Hunan embroidery emphasizes shading in the creation of realistic depictions of landscapes and life-like images of animals, especially tigers and lions, usually on a base of transparent chiffon silk. With hair-thin silk floss in colors that range from black to white, animal fur is rendered in true-to-life textures that are three-dimensional owing to the mixing of stitches and knots.

Captions (14,15,16,17): We also visited YONGZHOU ancient courtyard buildings and ancient theater stages, and saw the overall models of cities and towns in Hunan Province and the models of Chinese gardens. I was amazed by the Chinese architectural culture. We also visited the ancient buildings there. We had never seen the beauty of the ancient style before. They were saw magnificent ancient style building. We took a lot of pictures there. The people there were very friendly and hospitable. We also took pictures with the people there. And we asked them about Chinese history. At the same times we also visited the museum. And there we also saw various things from ancient times. Those things were very classic and charming. There we saw a strange example of the Chinese people's skill. There we saw that the Chinese had made a small template for the whole YONGZHOU (photo 17) city. We were all very happy there. We did various activities there. I wanted to take a picture of every place. But I didn't have that much space in my mobile. We also visited a Chinese village there. We also ate a variety of Chinese food there. The Chinese people there were taking pictures with all the foreigners. There was a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone was very happy and excited. There many Chinese became our good friends. Then we exchanged our weChat. There I felt like I was in a new world. I really appreciate Chinese culture and Chinese architecture. I was very impressed by the hospitality of the Chinese people there.
People who have no ideas or goals will never succeed, and everyone who succeeds will set goals and begin to achieve them. This is also principle of nations, and those who set goals and begin to achieve them will one day succeed, the biggest example of which is China.
Recently, there has been an epidemic called coronavirus. Which has affected almost the whole world. And especially the economy of the world. In these situations where others countries became very panicked. On the others hand china does not panic at all. Because China has a history of fighting against viruses, as seen in SARS and MERS outbreaks. Late in 2002, China suffered from a SARS outbreak, one of the contagious coronaviruses that resulted in 8,098 infections and 774 deaths from 32 countries. Although SARS was effectively contained, preparations of many countries were insufficient for the epidemic at that time in terms of late reporting to health officials, inadequate quarantine and isolation measures, poor hygiene precautions, and vulnerability of healthcare workers. It is very difficult to defeat epidemics and it takes a lot of time. But I would like to give all the credit here to the Chinese government and its people who cooperated with each other during this difficult time. Under these circumstances, it became very difficult to conduct survive in some areas. But the Chinese government took measures and provided food and other food items on time. China was the first to defeat the disease by taking precautionary measures.
China’s government has been working on strengthening and improving their epidemic response capacity for future outbreaks, and the results are visible when comparing the response to SARS and COVID-19 outbreaks. A study by Wu and McGoogan shows the timeline of the important events for SARS and COVID-19 diseases. According to them, there was a delay in notifying WHO about the SARS outbreak as 300 cases and 5 deaths had already occurred compared to 27 cases and zero deaths in COVID-19. The first official confirmation for COVID-19 came on December 31, 2019, when the WHO China Country Office was informed about a cluster of 27 pneumonia cases of unknown etiology detected in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. Chinese authorities immediately closed the market on January 1, 2020, as a method to terminate all meat trades, and then started environmental assessment to confirm the association and to prevent further transmission. On January 3, 2020, 3 days after the first notification, the national authorities of China reported another 44 cases, while the causative agent was still unknown. Concerned authorities immediately started epidemiologic and etiologic investigations, which led the authorities to identify and isolate a new type of coronavirus on January 7, to report and detect a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) as the causative agent on January 9, and to make novel coronavirus genome sequencing publicly available for countries on January 10. The country exerted great efforts to improve their laboratory capacities as well, since the time taken to identify the virus was 2 months for SARS compared to 1 week for COVID-19. In addition, Chinese scientists have compiled a massive data set that gives the best available picture of the disease. The advances in viral diagnostic methods, the bioinformatic capabilities to analyze the data, and the speed by which genome sequencing and data were obtained were very helpful in developing diagnostic kits and taking fast precautionary measures.
2020 is an extraordinary start for us, and an epidemic has affected China as a whole. With the joint efforts of the people of the whole country, the epidemic situation has been effectively controlled. During this period, China has created many miracles, and these miracles have amazed the world.
The following are a few examples:
1.The miracle of the mobilization of more than a billion Chinese people has been created:
During the anti-epidemic period, in order to control the epidemic as soon as possible, the state hopes that all Chinese people can stay at home and try not to go out. Although it is only a simple requirement, more than a billion Chinese attach great importance to it, and we all consciously stay at home for self-isolation and protection. During this period, the most frequently heard saying is: although it is difficult to stay at home, but cannot cause trouble to the country, we must consciously stay at home, reflecting the sense of responsibility as a Chinese citizen.
As a populous country in the world, nearly 1.4 billion people in China can work together to do one thing. I dare not say that only China can do it, but not many countries can do so to this extent.
2.Created a short time to build a hospital miracle:
In recent years, China has been seen as an infrastructure fiend, which has resurfaced during the epidemic. In just 10 days, the 1000-bed HuoShen Mountain Hospital was completed. Also spent more than half a month time, with 1500 beds of LeiShan Mountain hospital delivery. TIME, the Daily Mail and other foreign media have reported on it, and almost all of them marveled at the construction of the two hospitals with incredible tone. It may take 10 years to build in the United States, one foreign commenter said.

Captions (photos 19,20): During the epidemic, China established two hospitals at a rapid speed that amazed the world. China has a very developed transportation system. These transportation vehicles continuously transport necessary materials to the epidemic area every day, ensuring the daily life of the people in Wuhan. It embodies the spiritual strength of the Chinese people to face the disaster and work together. The rapid completion of these two hospitals, so that many foreigners think it is impossible to complete the task, that it is a miracle. When World Health Organization (WHO) members who came to visit China saw the empty streets, they were very surprised and incredible. Director General World Health Organization (WHO) said: Chinas strong ability to mobilize and act, the people concept of the overall situation, dedication and optimism are particularly valuable. This powerful mobilization ability also makes people in other countries find it unthinkable and think it is a miracle. According to the National Health Committee announced the data show that so far, the number of elite medical staff sent to reach 42000 people, distributed throughout Hubei to support.
The Chinese people unity spirit of one side is difficult, the other side is supportive is also amazing to the world. China has shown extraordinary solidarity, said the head of the WHOs health emergency program. Martin Jacques, one of the founders of the British think-tank, said: The Chinese people are not terrible, the terrible thing is that the Chinese people have carved unity in their bones.
3.Created a miracle of unity:
Because in this epidemic, Hubei, Wuhan are the hardest hit areas, in order to help Hubei get rid of the epidemic as soon as possible, the provinces have sent medical teams to help Hubei.
“That’s the reason china is the first country to overcome epidemic”
Tourism is a major economic activity that has developed significantly over the years. It’s an activity that can be recognized in both developed and developing nations. In general terms, tourism is the movement of a person from one place to another to visit and mesmerize the beauty of that place or to have fun.
The area of china is about 9,600,000 sq km, 9.6 million Sq km. Population is 1.24 billion
The capital city is Beijing whose population is 12 million. China has 31 provinces and Taiwan, Hongkong and Macau. Official language of China is Mandarin (Beijing dialect mandarin). The main religions are officially atheist; Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Muslims (14 million), Christian (7 million)
China's climate varies from bitter coldness in winter to unbearable heat in summer. Since the size and varied landscape of the country, there is no one time in the year when Chinese weather is ideal. Of course, the warmest areas in winter are to be found in the South and Southwest, such as Sichuan, Banana in Yunnan, and Hainan Island. In summer the coolest spots are in the far northeast.
In order to study the trends, needs, and preferences of the Chinese tourists, it is important that researchers, students, managers, and marketers invest in the inbound tourism in China through educational programs, exchange programs, or research programs. This would ensure that, the researchers, students, marketers, and managers get the relevant information about the importance and relevance of Chinese culture in tourists. It would also ensure that they understand the behaviors and intrinsic factors, which influence the choices of travel destinations.

I hope that more foreigners will visit China. China, a land of beauty and fascination, tempts adventurous travelers all over the world. China also is a massive country, covering 6,000,000 square miles and has infinite variety of people, enchanting natural landscape, brilliant history and culture and fascinating destinations. Traveling is a tiring and difficult thing and not everyone is able to travel. But at the same time, it’s a fun activity that takes your tiredness away. Travelling adds flavor to life as you travel to different places that have a different culture and lifestyle. Also, it’s an easy way to learn about the culture and tradition of a place.
“I want to tell all foreigners through my story how beautiful China is. And I urge all foreigners to visit China. China is one of the most beautiful and safest country in the world. Thousands of foreigners visit China every year and enjoy the most beautiful places in China”.
