Esclusiva Chinasia

I nostri alberghi, nuove procedure per l’ottenimento del visto turistico per la cina, in partenza, dicono di noi.

È stato super, dall’organizzazione ai servizi, allo stesso gruppo, simpatico, accomodante, puntuale e collaborativo. E’ stato sorprendente questo meraviglioso, contraddittorio paese, ora un po’ meno alieno di quanto sia stato finora per me. Buone le guide locali, ma, meravigliosa quella che ci ha accompagnati da Roma e riportati a casa, con qualche difficoltà e 24 ore di ritardo dal previsto. E’ Fabrizio Cavaglieri, competente, professionale sempre, molto paziente e gentile. Spero di poter tornare a visitare un altra parte di questo grande paese.

È stato un tour fantastico sotto tutti i profili accompagnati da una guida competente disponibile gentile professionale di nome Stella che parlava benissimo l’italiano pur essendo cinese. Gli hotel tutti di ottima qualità e centrali. Anche il cibo ci ha profondamente colpiti in POSITIVO sia come qualità sia come scelta del cibo e dei locali che ci hanno ospitato. Sempre in salette “vip”. La precisione e la puntualità è stata rispettata durante tutto il tour così come l’assistenza fino all’imbarco. Che dire … grazie!

Bellissimo viaggio: in un mondo globalizzato la Cina mantiene tradizioni, una filosofia di vita e la consapevolezza di essere una grande nazione che ne fanno una realtà “diversa” ed interessantissima. La nostra accompagnatrice Lucia, bravissima, ci ha saputo guidare, con dolcezza e fermezza allo stesso tempo, dentro questo mondo aiutandoci a capire, sempre attenta alle esigenze di ciascun viaggiatore. Viaggio senz’altro da consigliare!

Un viaggio ben organizzato e meraviglioso. Da evidenziare la rilevante competenza della guida che ci ha accompagnato nelle tappe dell’itinerario: Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Guilin, Xian e Pechino. Giovane e determinata Lucia ha magistralmente guidato l’intero gruppo partito da Roma, ha saputo rendere, ogni tappa del viaggio, interessante ed emozionate. Da fare per scoprire interessanti aspetti della storia e attualità del più grande e antico impero del pianeta.

Viaggio perfetto e organizzato in tutti i particolari; nulla è affidato al caso e la qualità dei servizi è veramente degna di nota. Un particolare apprezzamento per la nostra accompagnatrice, sig.ra Adelaide, vero angelo custode del gruppo e in grado di risolvere qualunque situazione legata al viaggio.

Organizzazione curata nei dettagli, eccezionale la nostra guida Stella, disponibile e attenta alle nostre richieste, sempre pronta a soddisfare ogni nostro dubbio, guide locali preparate. Sicuramente siamo stati fortunati sia per le condizioni atmosferiche che abbiamo trovato nelle diverse città visitate sia perché il gruppo era composto da sei persone quindi le visite sono state approfondite. Un viaggio e un tour operator che consiglio.

Organizzazione perfetta sin dalla partenza all’aeroporto di Fiumicino.  All’arrivo a Pechino ci ha accolto l’accompagnatore nazionale LiLi che ci ha seguito nei minimi dettagli per tutto il viaggio. Ottimi sia gli hotel che i ristoranti (tutti di alto livello). In ogni città eravamo accompagnati da una guida locale ed un autista. Bellissimi i siti visitati tra cui la Grande Muraglia, La città Proibita, L’esercito di Terracotta.  Viaggio da consigliare senza dubbi.

Era tanto che volevamo andare in Cina, su consiglio della nostra agenzia abbiamo scelto Chinasia. Il tour prevede 4 siti, Pechino, Xi’an, Guilin e Shanghai, è un “all inclusive” con cene e pranzi davvero ottimi, inoltre insieme al gruppo parte un accompagnatore della Chinasia, nel nostro caso era Fabrizio, ottima persona di grande cultura e sapienza nello spiegare storia usi e costumi della Cina. Invito a partecipare a questo genere di viaggi, ne sarete arricchiti!

Ottima organizzazione! Guide professionali: LI a Pechino, Aurora a Xian, Massimo a Shanghai. Un suggerimento: accorciare il soggiorno a Guilin a favore di Shanghai o, comunque, anticipare il volo serale perché, coi soliti ritardi dei voli interni, si arriva in albergo a Shanghai alle due di notte. Un particolare apprezzamento alla qualità degli alberghi (menzione speciale al Titan di Xi’an). Comunque complimenti per la qualità totale dell’offerta. Consiglierò.

Il nostro Tour Operator vanta una conoscenza molto approfondita non solo dei territori cinesi ma anche della gente del luogo

  Com’è il clima in Cina, e che vestiti dovrei portare?    

Data l’immensa estensione del territorio cinese, le differenze in temperature e precipitazioni sono enormi, amplificate dall’ altitudine di certe zone o dalla presenza di regioni desertiche. L’abbigliamento, quindi, deve essere pratico e deve tener conto dell’itinerario scelto: visitando località estremamente diverse è difficile dirvi in anticipo cosa mettere in valigia. Cercheremo tuttavia di darvi indicazioni più chiare in base alle necessità specifiche.

Ci sono procedure per il visto e l’ingresso in Cina?

È richiesto il visto rilasciato dai Consolati cinesi per poter entrare in Cina ed è richiesto che il passaporto abbia validità di almeno sei mesi oltre la data d’ingresso. All’arrivo nel Paese dovrete compilare un modulo d’ingresso con i vostri dati, il volo e il numero del visto; un modulo simile, chiamato “Departure Card”, sarà compilato al momento della partenza ed entrambi dovranno essere consegnati al controllo passaporti.

Com’è il fuso orario tra Italia e Cina?

La differenza tra Italia e Cina è di 7 ore, che diventa 6 quando entra in vigore l’ora legale in Italia. Essendo ad est rispetto a noi, quando qui sono le 10:00, in tutta la Cina sono le ore 17:00.

Qual è la moneta locale in Cina?

Il nome della moneta locale è “yuan” o “kuai”. Un Euro è pari a 7,85 Yuan.

Sono richiesti vaccini per entrare in Cina?

In generale, la Cina è un paese sicuro, quindi non è necessario alcun vaccino specifico. È però consigliato rivolgersi al proprio medico di famiglia o al centro vaccini dell'ospedale della vostra città, che di solito ha un'area dedicata a fornire informazioni dettagliate sulle malattie infettive e gli eventuali vaccini richiesti e/o consigliati. I vaccini, di solito, vanno fatti dalle 4 alle 6 settimane prima della partenza.

Come fare per l’assicurazione?

Per quanto riguarda l’assicurazione, vi rimandiamo alla pagina specifica del nostro sito per le informazioni specifiche.

Qual è il miglior periodo per visitare la Cina?

La Cina copre un'area molto vasta e il suo territorio è ricco di paesaggi mozzafiato tutti diversi tra loro. Grazie a questa sua caratteristica, la Cina è visitabile tutto l'anno. Ogni zona presenta caratteristiche climatiche diverse, per godere al meglio del vostro viaggio prestate quindi attenzione al clima che caratterizza la zona che intendete visitare. In generale, però, i periodi ideali per andare in Cina sono aprile-maggio e settembre-ottobre.

11-Day Small Group China Tour to Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin and Shanghai

It was a fantastic trip . The two girls Tina in Beijing and Celine In Xi’an were amazing . Very knowledgeable. We saw so much and it was an amazing place . The food was good and the hotels were 5 star really. The only thing is maybe we could just say stop for and hour at a couple of places were there was a market that we walked through where we could just look around by a souvenir or just sits down get a drink and soak up the atmosphere of the place . In Shanghai we could have had an hour to look around the French quarter and take it all in . We did not need to to the shops as that was the point but he Mosque in Xi’an would have been another spot we could have just sat had a drink or a quick look at sovereign whatever anyone wanted to do for an hour . Guilin was the same when we walked up the old street we needed to rest get a cold drink and icy pole as it was so hot the blind after the cruise. Just a note that maybe in Shanghai the day we arrive maybe an activity for the evening (A dinner some where ax a group) as he hotel is a fair way out of town and it took us a while to get in . Apart from that I would still recommended this 11 days . You saw all you need and more and the activities were really good . So thank you all. If you haven’t visited China yet I would recommend this tour . Loved it . Regards Vicky from Melbourne Australia

China Delights Small Group Tour

This is a great tour that packs a lot in. Time flies as you see so much although you won't spend long at many of the sites. My favourite bits of the itinerary were: - The Great Wall at Mutianyu (Beijing) we took the chair lift option which meant we could ride the toboggan back down. - Terracotta Warriors (Xian) half day - Li River Cruise (Guilin) - Huangpu River Cruise (Shanghai) which luckily turned into an evening cruise as we couldn't get on the earlier one. Those are the highlights but there are so many other things such as the Tang Dynasty Dancing and Dumpling Dinner and Summer Palace in Beijng and Reed Flute Caves in Guilin. In particular Guilin so picturesque and Shanghai so modern. We were lucky with our first two guides, Tina (Beijing) and Celine (Xian) who were both excellent. Autumn in Guilin and Mindy in Shanghai were good too. Autumn stayed with us to help us find and order food in the evenings so a couple of long shifts for her. Celine helped arrange a birthday cake for one of our younger travellers. Included meals were excellent. Full banquets usually in local restaurants but we really enjoyed the home cooked lunch as well. Food was plentyful. We even enjoyed the set meal box on the cruise. Hotels were generally of a good standard. Check-in at The Great Wall Hotel in Beijing was really slow though and trying to find a table for breakfast was difficult and located a fair distance away from where the restaurants are (need to get the subway to reach them) The hotel in Guilin was the worst one, the rooms being some distance away from the lift and lobby and small bathrooms. The hotel in Shanghai was excellent. It was nice touch that we got framed photo souvenirs of our trip from Beijing although I think both myself and my sister should have received one each as we paid for single supplements. Some feedback I'd give would be that they need to let us know about the optional night tours that are available on the website/ itinerary before we come out so that we can budget properly. There was a night visit for the Big Goose Pagoda in Xian with the musical fountain light show which we would have liked to have gone to didn't go to due to the weather. We found that the night cruise in Guilin was expensive as the premium we paid for the guide to buy the tickets and come onboard with us was excessive. We could have just walked to the ticket office and bought the tickets ourselves. The night tour of Shanghai was just as expensive but at least that included a coach to drive us around as well as the guide. Having said that, we could have used the subway and got around ourselves and because it started so late, we didn't see much. It is worth going up Jin Mao Tower. Overall, we had a great time on this trip and would recommend Travel China Guide.

Since we were traveling in an unpopular travel time, we had our own private tour guide. Our guide, Nancy, was also our driver for Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La.

a 6-day/5-night Lhasa Shigatse group tour with Great Tibet Tour in September 2019. There are three times group airport pickup and drop off included. It is about a 1-hour journey from the airport to the central city.   I stayed at the Shangbala Hotel in Lhasa. Most of the clients in the Shangbala Hotel were foreign. I enjoyed breakfast at the Shangbala Hotel. Every morning, my guide will meet us at the hotel hall around 9:30 am. So I can enjoy a good sleep.   The tour guide and driver were both Tibetan. They will talk about Tibetan history and their lifestyle with us.

I love this trip so much! It is a lifetime experience I will never forget. The guide was very caring. I was a little dizzy on the first day. The guide constantly asked about my condition. He was also humorous and knowledgeable on Tibetan Buddhism and history. We learned a lot along the way. At EBC, we were so lucky to have good weather. When we look out from the window of the nomad tent, breathtaking! I see the starry sky! With the good arrangement and accompaniment, our trip has become more meaningful and wonderful. Thanks for everything. I highly recommend it to our friends.

What people love about China Tours

Fantastic. Guides went overboard to help

The tour was wonderful. The tour guides were very informative and gave lots of recommendations. I went during their down season in December, best decision every. There was not a lot of people at the most popular tourist locations. I recommend coming during the winter.

BRI spurs Italy to embrace China

ROME - Tourists from China are greeted with welcome signs in their own language upon landing at Rome's Fiumicino Airport, the largest and most dynamic air hub in Italy.

Going all out to impress their Chinese customers, Italian tourism personnel eye greater opportunities in closer Italy-China commercial and tourism exchanges.

In 2017, Italy registered some 1.5 million Chinese tourists, according to the Chinese Tourism Academy, a public entity under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Altogether, they generated in 2017 over 5 million overnight stays, up 12.4 percent year-on-year, according to Italy's National Institute of Statistics.

Industrial personnel are working head over heels to enhance their services and adjust to the changing tourism market, especially the changing appetite of Chinese visitors.

"The profile of Chinese tourists has changed in latest years, in line with the rapid evolution of the Chinese population, and of its average income," Jacopo Sertoli, president of Shanghai-based Welcome Chinese Company, said, adding that recreation is becoming more important for Chinese.

Meanwhile, "the interest of Italians toward China has evolved and partially changed in recent years, and our offer has adjusted accordingly," said Laura Grassi, chief manager of Italian tour operator Chinasia, the first and the oldest Italian operator to manage outbound flows to China since the early 1980s.

Chinasia has gathered much expertise over more than three decades. "At the beginning, China tours mostly attracted Italian people from the middle-high class, well educated, and with an average age of 40," Grassi said.

Today, clients have various profiles. "We have the young student, who is possibly able to speak a little Chinese and wants to have an experience; we have many couples, and families with children as well," she said.

Not surprisingly, Italy is stepping up education to train personnel for the tertiary sector.

At the European University located in the northwest of the Italian capital, the bachelor's and master's degrees in tourism management constitute key educational offers, with special emphasis on Chinese culture-related education.

"Our graduate school students must take cultural anthropology, because it is crucial for them to learn about habits, traditions, and tastes of emerging tourism inflows," said Alessandra Romano, director of European University's Master's in Tourism Management program.

The master's program focuses more on "market niches" than mass tourism, as explained by the professor, "where high-level professionals and managerial roles are more required".

He said: "Yet, we do believe there is already a 'niche' of very high-level Chinese travelers, who have higher needs, and this is a crucial opportunity we cannot miss."

Italy's hopes in the sector are high in terms of growth and of employment, especially considering the sluggish domestic economy lately.

Tourism contributed some 13 percent to the Italian gross domestic product in 2017, according to a February report by a branch of the National Research Center.

People employed in the industry comprised about 14.7 percent of Italy's workforce in 2017, and some 250,000 new jobs are expected by 2023, according to a recent survey by Florence-based Center for Tourism Studies.

However, industry experts are not yet satisfied, and are expecting to unleash greater potential through the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.

"This (the BRI) is something we really should concentrate on doing well," said Marina Lalli, head of the tourism branch of Italy's major business group Confindustria.

"Up to now, we have mainly drawn tourists from Asia - and from China especially - who wanted to see Italy for its way of life and style, but this is not enough anymore.

"We cannot just count on the fact that we have a beautiful country, nice weather, and good food... The interests of tourists are evolving, and the sector goes more and more digital.

"As such, we need to know really well the Chinese market and how it works, to cater to its needs and demands.

"It is very simple: we just cannot lose that market, and let the big numbers from China come to Europe and visit Italy only a few days as a second destination."

When to go? Since China is so large and diverse, you can always find suitable destinations to visit in each season, or each month. In the big metropolis, such as Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Chengdu, the season doesn't matter as much as visiting natural destinations, because their best highlights are all conveniently located in or near the city downtown, and it is always very easy to book flights, trains and hotels. But some destinations are only recommended to be visited in specific seasons. Generally speaking, autumn is the best season to travel China when the weather is pleasant and scenery is finest. To avoid the crowds, you can avoid traveling during the festivals, such as National Holiday, Middle Autumn Festival, etc.

Unless you are qualified for Visa-free policies, such as long-term residential visa, transit visa free, or you are from specific countries, you are required to have a Tourist Visa (L Visa) for your China tour. You can apply for Chinese visa in Chinese embassies or consulates in your country. To successfully obtain a Chinese Visa, applicants need to prepare some materials to prove his/her legal identity and purpose of visiting. The most important requirements are basic documents, including your passport and a completed visa application form. And supporting documents relate to your itinerary like flight ticket and hotel booking record and visiting schedule and Invitation Letter, etc. are also very helpful.

Making a booking with us is quite simple: 1) Send an Inquiry; 2) Get a tour package with quotation from us; 3) Amend the tour according to your requirement; 4) You confirm the tour and pay a deposit; 5) Pay the balance; 6) Enjoy your tour.

Best China Trip Choice: Chinese or Foreign Tour Company

If you planning a China trip and would like the help of a tour company, should you choose a Chinese or a foreign operator? This page should help in making the right choice for you.

Here we ask, "Is a Chinese or foreign company best for a China trip" from several aspects: communication, China knowledge, product design, authentic China experiences, flexibility/customizing, value for money, and problem solving (during the trip).

1. Communication

A tour operator in your country will have the same language and culture as you, so communication will be easier, and they'll know you better. They'll have a website designed specifically for your perusal. Their service will on your wavelength, and in terms you can easily understand.

Chinese or China-based tour companies often struggle to bridge the gap into the English-speaking market, they may lose to their foreign competitors in communication.

The more-experienced and larger China companies like China Highlights are more proficient in English (some have foreign staff for English consultancy like the author of this article), so communication is passable, or as close to native English as possible.

A benefit of communicating with a Chinese travel agent is that you are getting a China experience even before you leave your country!

2. China Knowledge

Foreign tour companies know you well; China not so well. It's a lot like going to foreign China with (knowledgeable) foreign companions.

Foreign tour companies are on the outside looking in : introducing similar people to a foreign country.

A China-based tour company will be introducing you to their home country from your first contact with them, and the best ones take a particular pride in doing it well. A China-based tour operator knows China and its tourism better.

Chinese tour companies are working from the inside out : introducing their country to foreign people.

However, not all Chinese companies exploit their specialist local knowledge in their tours, preferring to offer low-input, low-cost itineraries. If you really want to get to know China , go with a Chinese agency who use their wealth of knowledge to create a tour that satisfies your China interests.

3. Tour Design

Foreign tour companies have the same cultural background as you, and their tour designs will reflect that (if they have invested time in designing their own China tours). Expect products that will give you a familiar tour experience to what you are used to, and winning formulas that have been used to introduce other countries.

There are basically three types of foreign tour companies, who design three types of tours:

a) The "Safari-Operator"

These companies design their own brand of foreign-experience or adventure small group tours (for several countries) through actually going there, e.g. Intrepid, Peregrine, Contiki: the "safari-operators".

b) The "Middle-Men"

Then there are those who just sell on traditional Chinese group tours through a foreign platform: the middle-men.

These foreign companies are re-packaging tours designed and even owned by Chinese operators, with an added cost for their selling it to you. If there is little China knowledge demonstrated by the staff or website, then "middle-men" is probably what they are.

c) The "Explorer-Guides"

Lastly, there are the (usually small) foreign companies who arrange private tailor-made tours through their own limited China knowledge and contacts: the explorer-guides. These are particularly useful if you are after a specialism like photography or mountaineering.

Chinese Tour Operators — Two Types

For a tour design that's uniquely Chinese, go with a Chinese company… In China, there are basically two sorts of tour operator offering two travel styles: the traditional large group tour and the private small group tour.

Most of China's large group tour outfits show little originality in tour design and have been herding tourists round the same places for decades. This is lowest-possible-cost tourism for the masses. Foreign "middle-men" sell on these mundane products at a markup.

China's private travel enterprises are far more innovative and competitive. Chinese private tour companies typically invest far more in tour design, every year refining and developing their itineraries and options to give customers an ever-better China experience. See what we have New This Year .

4. Authentic China Experiences

Generally with a local tour company you can get more in touch with China.

Although foreign tour companies, especially those that are adventure-trip-orientated, do arrange many local experiences through exploration visits and local outfits, the range is usually limited compared to what a local company with more local contacts can do.

Foreign companies who design their own small group tours often espouse greater concern for responsible travel , tourism ethics, and eco-tourism. This is also catching on with some Chinese operators, but more slowly. It is something that China Highlights are actively investing in. See more on How to Travel Ethically in China .

5. Flexibility/Customizing

Most foreign companies don't offer any option to change the tour schedule or content, providing fixed-itinerary, fixed-start-date group tours. You join the tour like a railcar joining a train!

Many Chinese agents also just offer traditional large group tours with no flexibility, however they will at least be able to offer more of them. Where a foreign company may only have a tour departing once a week, a Chinese company may have several fixed tours starting every day to choose from. Middle-men foreign companies sell on these inflexible China-agent group tours.

Foreign companies who tailor private tours for their customers have more limited knowledge and resources than a comparable Chinese travel agency. While they could book a different hotel for you, or even something different on the itinerary, it would have to be somewhere they're familiar with, and could arrange with their local agent.

The most flexibility and customizing ability is found with Chinese companies who have at their disposal a vast range of tourist industry contacts and experience in tailor-making tours.

Large or locally-based Chinese companies are familiar with a greater range of hotels, restaurants, sights, activities, etc., and can advise and book according to your needs/interests.

6. Value for Money (overheads + what you want)

A China-based tour operator has lower overhead costs than a company based in the West, meaning you will usually have the same essential service for less with a Chinese company.

Foreign tour companies necessarily use Chinese agents, and some just resell Chinese tour company tours, with less control over them than a Chinese company. In this case, the foreign "middle-man" markup option is definitely less value for money.

While a small group tour designed by a foreign company will probably be more your style than a traditional Chinese large group tour, it will cost more for doing many of the same things. Probably it will be better value for money, maybe not.

However, the recommended way to find value for money in China is to have your tour tailor-made by a local expert. Then you will only do what you want, how you want , without paying for all the standardized group tour inclusions. See Why Your China Trip Should Be a Private Tour… Not a Group Tour .

Apart from a few small, often specialist, foreign outfits, Chinese companies like ourselves are the place to come for customized private tours.

7. Problem Solving (during your trip)

What if all does not go according to plan on your trip? What if you become ill or injured? What if you lose something important, or are the victim of crime? What if your transport is delayed, or the weather disrupts plans? What if a hotel isn't to your liking or the tour isn't up to expectations?

What if you'd just like to do something different on the spur of the moment?

Foreign companies aren't as much help.

If you experience problems during your trip and contact a foreign company, they will be comparatively slow to no help at all.

The typical response will be: "We're sorry you are experiencing this issue. However, there isn't anything we can do about it. Have you tried contacting your local tour leader? We will contact the local agent as soon as possible (when an English speaker is available in China, i.e. you're on your own now)."

China-based companies can often fix problems on the spot.

Usually a China-based company will be able to solve on-tour problems quicker.

Some China tour companies (like ourselves) offer a 24/7 helpline for while you are traveling. You can speak to a Chinese travel expert, who can immediately address a situation. A China tour operator has the advantage of language and familiarity with China and Chinese establishments.

If we can't solve your on-tour problems on the spot, we will stand with you through any adjustments to make your tour the best it can be.

• Get a thorough physical examination and seek advice from your doctor if you plan to visit Tibet. If you suffer from anemia, hypertension, or heart problems perhaps you should not visit the area.
• Be careful not to catch a cold and also ensure you are in good health before heading there. Bring medicines for colds, diarrhea and fever with you. Some nasal ointment and throat-moistening lozenges will be of great help for those who are sensitive to chilly or freezing weather conditions.
• On the first day of your arrival, avoid vigorous activities such as walking fast, running and swimming. Bathing and smoking are also not recommended.
• Drink enough water and eat lightly. Snacks with high caloric content, like chocolate, will come in handy.
• Please notify your private guide immediately to get instant help if you feel any discomfort.

What is the appropriate behavior when visiting religious sites in Tibet?

• Visitors need to walk clockwise around the religious sites and facilities, like temples, monasteries, pagodas, Mani stones and prayer wheels.
• Visitors are not allowed to touch Buddhist statues and sutras. Also taking pictures and smoking inside temples or monasteries is prohibited.
• Avoid wearing shorts at the religious site.
• Do not touch anyone on the head.
• Do not step on the threshold of any house, temple or monastery.

Is it convenient to use credit card and ATM cards when traveling in the region?

I found all tibet tour packages 2024 cost more than those of other major tourist cities in china. may i know why, can i do independent travel in tibet.

Cina (parte 9×9) – Conclusioni e commenti su Chinasia

Ottobre 17th, 2008 Reportages 0 comments

Ultima parte del nostro reportage del viaggio in Cina: una nostra opinione sul tour operator per la Cina che abbiamo scelto, ovvero Chinasia,

Conclusioni sul nostro viaggio in Cina

Se dobbiamo fare delle critiche: sicuramente il troppo tempo sprecato per visitare le fabbriche con l’intento di farci spendere soldi, cosa che ha sottratto tempo alle visite (soprattutto a Pechino), e molto poco tempo libero per girare da soli. Siamo stati un pò più liberi a Shanghai, ma molto meno nella capitale: peccato.

In definitiva, ne è valsa certamente la pena: non abbiamo avuto molta possibilità di stare a contatto con la gente e la vita quotidiana, di cui abbiamo solo avuto brevi e vaghi assaggi nei mercati popolari e nelle poche ore libere. Pero’ la scelta di viaggiare con un tour organizzato non si è rivelata sbagliata, dal momento che informazioni per turisti occidentali non ne abbiamo trovate molte, se non a Pechino e Shanghai e – quando siamo stati in Cina nel 2006 – avremmo avuto certamente molti problemi a raggiungere alcune zone da soli.

Recensione e commenti sul Viaggio in China organizzato dal Tour Operator Chinasia

In Cina tutto è controllato dallo Stato, anche e soprattutto il turismo, quindi ogni gruppo viene guidato da una guida locale – cinese parlante italiano nel nostro caso. Questo avviene sempre, qualunque sia il numero di persone che formano il gruppo, siano esse 2 o 40. Abbiamo constatato questo ad Hangzhou e nei treni, in cui c’erano gruppetti di persone che venivano accompagnati da guide locali, spesso giovanissime (sui venti anni) ma dall’aria molto esperta.

Chinasia di suo aggiunge, per i gruppi di una certa entità (se non ricordo male nel 2006 erano dovevano essere oltre le 20 persone), anche una accompagnatrice (non una guida!) italiana parlante cinese, che viaggia con il gruppo dall’Italia e per tutta la durata del tour. Ripeto, questo pero’ solo nel caso di gruppi numerosi: qualora doveste essere di meno, partirete dall’Italia da soli: il check nell’aeroporto italiano lo farete con un responsabile Chinasia che andrà via nel momento in cui dovrete entrare nei gates.

Arrivati in Cina, troverete sempre (sia con gruppi piccoli che con gruppi numerosi) una guida diversa (cinese e parlante italiano) in ogni città e che vi accompagnerà nei tour: da quello che abbiamo capito (non sono notizie ufficiali Chinasia, ovviamente) questi tours sono organizzati e predisposti dall’Ente del Turismo Cinese. Spesso nei luoghi turistici (ma soprattutto nelle fabbriche!) trovavamo altri gruppi italiani… fino all’eccesso: per quasi una settimana, a Nanchino, Suzhou e Hangzhou, abbiamo soggiornato negli stessi hotels e visitato gli stessi luoghi di un gruppo che aveva acquistato il tour con Mistral… nonostante avessimo guide e autobus diversi, gli orari coincidevano in tutto e per tutto!

Il vantaggio di Chinasia, a mio parere, risiede nel fatto che tutti i pasti erano inclusi, sia a pranzo che a cena, quindi non dovevamo organizzarci per cercare un ristorante: era tutto predisposto. Molto comodo soprattutto perche’ i tempi molto stretti spesso ci avrebbero obbligato a mangiare di corsa. Non tutti i tour operators offrono tutti i pasti durante il tour, anche se il costo del viaggio è praticamente identico a quello di Chinasia.

Qualità e varietà del cibo nel tour in Cina con Chinasia

Sul cibo e la qualità dei pasti mi voglio soffermare un attimo di più. Ogni volta che si arriva in una nuova città, a cena si mangia in hotel con cucina internazionale, ma qualche volta anche non in questi casi (ad esempio a Shanghai abbiamo sempre mangiato con cucina itnernazionale). In questi casi abbiamo mangiato sempre molto bene. Quando invece abbiamo mangiato cucina cinese, abbiamo incontrato degli alti e dei bassi. Quasi tutti i pranzi (tranne poche eccezioni) non sono stati molto soddisfacenti e molti del nostro gruppo arrivavano quasi a digiunare data la qualità delle pietanze offerte (vassoi di pelle di pollo spacciati per pollo, ecc), anche io che mi adatto spesso ho dovuto ripiegare sul riso in bianco. Infatti, spesso ci si accontentava di quest’ultimo, dal moment che lo si poteva chiedere sempre quando terminava ed era incluso nel prezzo. Anche le bevande erano incluse: in ogni pasto si può avere un bicchiere di qualunque bevanda (acqua, coca cola, birra). Il secondo bicchiere si paga 1euro, la bottiglia 2 euro.

Tour in Cina con Chinasia: gli Hotel

Gli hotel sono sempre stati molto buoni, ma un appunto sull’hotel a Nanchino lo devo fare: molto bello all’interno, belle le camere, ottima la posizione (a 50 metri dalla zona dello shopping), purtroppo erano in corso dei lavori al piano superiore a quello dove ci trovavamo. Gli operai iniziavano con i martelli pneumatici la mattina prestissimo e finivano il pomeriggio inoltrato. Il rumore era insopportabile: la direzione non ci è venuta incontro nonostante le numerose richieste da parte di tutto il gruppo. Per il resto nulla da dire; tutti gli hotel erano di buona qualità, inoltre erano sempre presenti due bottiglie d’acqua liscia in camera al giorno e una confezione di spazzolini da denti e dentifricio usa e getta: questo perche’, vi ricordo, in Cina non esce acqua potabile dai rubinetti, noi usavamo quell’acqua per lavarci i denti…

Tour in Cina con Chinasia: Spostamenti (voli, treno, bus)

I voli interni non erano operati da Air China, ma da altre compagnie di cui non ricordo il nome. Nonostante questo, i voli sono stati ottimi.

Anche la qualità dei treni è stata molto buona (sempre prima classe): sicuramente anni luce rispetto a quelle italiane.

Infine, gli autobus erano di buona qualità, con qualche differenza perchè cambiavano da città a città, ma comunque sempre confortevoli e sempre dotati di aria condizionata.

Siete stati anche voi in Cina? Con Chinasia o con altri tour operators? Come vi siente trovati?

Hai avuto anche tu delle esperienze di viaggio da condividere? Il tuo weekend nella capitale europea, la tua esperienza di lavoro in un’altra città, il viaggio di nozze o l’escursione con gli amici, o altro… Perchè non condividerlo con altre persone appassionate di viaggi come te? Inviaci il tuo reportage: i tuoi video su youtube, le foto e il tuo diario sono ben accetti! Avanti, che aspetti?

Russian tour operators start offering first tours to China — ATOR

MOSCOW, January 10. /TASS/. Since China decided to ease covid restrictions, Russian travel agencies have begun to offer tours to that country, but so far only citizens with valid Chinese visas can buy them, the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) reported on Tuesday.

"As China is gradually opening its borders for foreigners, tour operators are beginning to focus on this country again. [Travel] companies are now at different stages of sales planning, and there are even the first tour packages. But everyone is waiting for the main thing: when the issue of tourist visas and visa-free lists is resolved. Only then will real tourism be possible," ATOR explained in a statement.

Tour operator China Travel has already begun to offer the first tours to China. It is possible to book hotels in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.

However, only Russians with a valid Chinese visa can purchase these tours, Evgeny Glotov, head of the marketing department at China Travel, said. Basically, these are those who previously received business visas to that country, he added. For the moment, Chinese tourist visas are not issued in Russia.

Chinese partners of the Russian Express tour operator informed the company that they expect the country to open to tourists in the first quarter of 2023. Tour operators Russian Express and Intourist are ready to resume the sale of tours to China as soon as the country is open to Russian tourists, ATOR added.

Earlier, the State Administration of Migration Control of the People's Republic of China informed that starting January 8, the authorities will significantly ease quarantine restrictions at the border. Consul General of the Russian Federation in Shenyang Sergey Chernenko told TASS on Sunday that passenger traffic had been resumed through the Kraskino-Hunchun automobile checkpoint. The lifting of restrictions, he said, applies to any category of citizens with valid visas, including tourists.

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.
