| Getting There in China hile people are increasingly traveling to China getting there - especially from the West - can be long, tiring and expensive if you don't follow a few tips and shop around. However, if you do put the effort in and search thoroughly, you can find a whole plethora of transport options to get you to this great country. By Plane Currently flights are being offered from London Heathrow to Beijing, China for around the $750 mark. From the U.S., you can fly for around $900. This way, if you've always wanted to visit China getting there is relatively cheap, especially given that you will make enormous savings once you arrive on food, accommodation and transport. |

| By Train Arguably the most romantic way to travel to China from Europe or Russia is via the Silk Route railways which will take you through Kazakhstan and northern China before delivering you to Beijing. More locally, you can use the incredibly cheap and efficient train services in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam to access China from the south. Prices will be a fraction of what you'd expect to pay for similar-length routes in Western Europe. By Boat If you're travelling to China from Macau then a very pleasant means of transport is the ferry which can take you to Hong Kong and then on to Beijing. A 24-hour sea trip is also possible from Incheon, South Korea to Yingkou, China. If you've always wanted to go to China, getting there in this manner is probably the most exciting method.
