Airports in China
China is one of the largest and most populous nations in the world with more then one hundred different ethnic groups. China has a vast and varying geography ranging from flat land in the east to large mountains and plateaus in the west. There are also many Chinese rivers around the country like the Mekong and Pearl River in the south of China. Here over 1.3 billion people live, approximately a fifth of the entire world's population making it quite an experience to see just how so many people live together and the technological advances made to ease this reality.
The main airport can be found in Beijing, the capital city of the People's Republic of China. The international Beijing Capital Airport will probably be the airport that you find yourself using if you come visit this fast moving country. When the Beijing Capital Airport was first made it was not easily accessible with only one narrow road from the Sanyuanqiao area. Now of course this has all changed and now in place of this narrow road is a twenty km Airport Expressway. In the not so far future there will be four expressways fully operational leading to the Beijing airport continuing to make transportation for so many people less problematic.
Another major airport that you will find in the western part of Shanghai is the Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. which is one of two airports in this city. The other airport is the Shanghai Pudong International Airport, which was built at the end of the 1990's. The Hongqiap Airport was used for international flights before the Shanghai Pudong airport was built, but today it is used basically for domestic flights. From most of these international airports you will find alternative transport like taxi's and minibuses to take you in and around Shanghai.
While in the People's Republic of China you can look into some of the entertainment provided there. There are many traditional sports like Inner Mongolia, a form of wrestling or Chinese dragon boat racing which you can view if you are there during the Duan Wu festival. Overall sports is quite big in China as physical fitness is regarded quite highly and often you will find a lot of the older generation practicing qigong in open areas.
