 China has always been remained a mysterious land for foreigners. In our folk stories it is mentioned as the land of fairies. As many peoples from swat work in mercantile navy and they have been to china many time in the past .They always told the stories of china and I got always keen interest in such type of information’s had always wished to go and visit this mysterious country.
