Beyond tourism, what matters most is personal

China Daily  

Randy Wright There is no better way for a foreigner to understand China and its people than firsthand experience. There's the wine country of Shandong province and the brisk sea air of Yantai, with its Yangma Island, where imperial horses were raised in ancient times. I've visited Huizhou's high-rise hotels and white sand beaches, shopped Hong Kong's night markets, appreciated Yan'an historical sites and watched in awe as the near magical noodle-makers in Taiyuan plied their craft. The list of spectacular places in this city alone is long, impressive and require no introduction-the Great Wall, the Drum and Bell Towers, the Forbidden City, Fragrant Hills, Houhai, Beihai and many more. The sound grew louder as I approached until I finally came to the source-a group of maybe 30 ordinary people gathered in a loose circle, singing joyfully to the accompaniment of an accordion that someone had brought along.
