Know China
Theatres, operas, ballets, films, cultural monuments, museums, temples and the Great Wall are the things Indian visitors can marvel while in China. Of course, the glorious authentic Chinese food, such as a variety of dim sums
and dumplings, is worth a good try for curry-loving Indians.
India loves festivals and celebrations but China reveals itself magically come late January or early February, with festive banquets and merry dragon dances during the Spring Festival, the traditional Chinese New Year celebration. |
