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 ( Fjin POPULATION 366 MILLION Includes Why Go Directly facing - photo 12 ).

Why Go?

Directly facing Taiwan across the Taiwan Strait, the southern province of Fjin ( ) is a lushly mountainous, coastal region of China. Well watered and lashed by summer typhoons that sweep along the coastline, the province is also renowned for an outward-looking mentality that has prompted centuries of migration to Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Taiwan.
