Beyond the amazing history, sites and experiences in China, tens of thousands of Americans and Europeans will discover the bargain China is as a tourist destination. In this climate of exorbitantly high priced fuel and travel, forget Europe for awhile, especially England. The UK is so expensive right now that it might be better to wait a bit, until the dollar can do better against the British Pound, before you go there.
If you can stand a long plane ride, you will discover that China is your best bet in so many ways. And if China is good enough for Hollywood these days, that should tell you something. Don't forget to go see the MUMMY, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. One doesn't want to miss a factual "documentary" like this. :-)
