I visited China in December 2012 and January 2013; it was a pleasant trip. I was impressed. I knew China only from communist era propaganda films and newsreels during my years in high school and university in Communist Romania 1970-1983; visiting now the second largest economy on Earth, only after USA (where I reside) and above Japan, Germany and the rest, was impressive. Very!
In December the weather was cold; not a pleasant cold, but a bitter and wet cold, witch gets inside your bones. The air pollution is everywhere. After a long and unpleasant D-flight, getting to a nice hotel in Beijing was a release. Note: take good food with you, during this long flight. The food offered by the airlines is uneatable. Comfort foods and snacks will make the flight pass a little bit easier and faster.
These are my impressions. I could be wrong, or misinformed. You have to take them with a grain of salt. This is a work in progress.
