English in China

English is not widely spoken in China, apart from in Hong Kong. Outside of, and even inside, big cities such as Bijng and Shnghi, you will frequently find English is useless, so avail yourself of the written Chinese in this book for Chinese phrases and as a guide to pronunciation. For first-time users of the language, Chinese pronunciation is tricky and getting the correct tone harder still, while showing the written Chinese to a local person immediately conveys the meaning. Youth hostels often have the best English-speaking staff so never assume the more expensive a hotel, the better the English level of the staff. Even at five-star hotels, you may encounter incomprehension. Restaurants in this book with English menus come with an English menu icon ( Guzhu POPULATION 367 MILLION Includes Why Go Poor old Guzhu - photo 12 ).

Why Go?

Poor old Guzhu ( ) , always the short-end-of-the-stick southwest China province. A much-quoted proverb has it as a place without three l of flat land, three days of fine weather, or three cents to rub together. Ouch.

Certainly, pockets of Guzhu are desperately poor and youll see clouds more often than the sun. The upside is that theres plenty of elbow room out in the simply stunning countryside, a sublime mix of undulating hills and carpets of forest, riven with rivers tumbling into magnificent waterfalls and down into spooky-thrilling karst cave networks.
