There are so many good things about living in China, it’s often difficult for people to recall their best ever experience from being in the country, whether they’re here for a short time or a long time period, every single day you can experience something completely new with this fantastic culture and country.
I’d say the best thing about living in China is the experiences that you’re going to have, especially with aspects such as the people, food and the sites that you’ll go and see. There are some fantastic places to see in China, some things that will likely take your breath away as you stand in awe of these things right in front of your eyes, like one of my favorite is the 26-metre-tall Buddha in the middle of the Lama Temple or in fact the Great Wall at Badaling, no matter what you see in China it’ll likely take your breath away.
The food, the food is one of the main talking points of everyone here in China, if you’re talking to someone in China the topics will likely be about food, as it’s such an important part of their culture as they have a vast range of dishes, all of which you need to try your best to try (even the strange things!). You’ll never be hungry in China, from breakfast to night, you’ll likely be stuffing your face full of the finest breakfast dishes, dumplings, rice dishes, hot pot and duck, the only problem is that you’ll never want a Chinese takeaway in your own country when you return, because you’ll miss this food too much!
But my favorite thing of China is the people, the people are what make China China. They’re extremely hospitable people, no matter where you are in the country, whether you’re in the middle of a bustling city or wandering around a tiny little village, you’ll probably have a few stares but nothing menacingly, they’re just happy that you’ve come to their country to have a look around. Throughout my whole time in China I’ve never once had a problem with anyone, everyone’s so smiley, helpful and warming to welcome you to the country. I’ve had many random people talk to me on the streets, ask me questions about my life, where I’m from etc. even when I was part of one of those ‘scams’ in China where someone takes you to a local tea shop for some very expensive local tea, I wasn’t even bothered and it was actually a really nice experience, because the woman paid for it, because I was polite to her and she wanted me to enjoy my first experiences in China, she even made sure that I had enough money for the entrance ticket into the Forbidden City and if I needed some help buying it she could do it for me!
Many a time in China I was invited out for dinner by the Chinese, or to various people’s houses to take part within their Spring Festival celebrations, of which I was extremely grateful for. At each point in China, every single Chinese person, whether they can speak your language or not, will try their best to help you, no matter what it’s for. That’s what makes people want to come back time after time.
Going onto what I’d say the ‘worst’ part of China is, I couldn’t even give you something solid, there’s not a lot you can say bad at all, everyone works so hard, everyone’s so welcoming, the food is amazing, the sights are amazing. The only hassle when being in China is the limited access to the internet over here, like accessing Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc. but even then, after not using it like a daily routine as you would in your own country, you just get used to using the Chinese version, and you even just realize that you don’t miss any kind of social media at all, and it soon becomes an unnecessary part of your life, of which I deleted most of them as I realized I didn’t miss any of them at all.
