From my visits to other labs on the mainland I believe that the above observations will apply widely. Good quality tourism is quite well developed and improving steadily. Travel to almost any part of China is relatively easy to arrange and the accommodations are usually reasonable in quality and cost. The great pride and interest in their history and pre-history, literature and art results in a large number of national, provincial, county and municipal museums and parks with very good collections of cultural objects. Of course there are fascinating temples of many kinds everywhere, many with important historical stories to tell.
Natural wonders abound with mountains, desert and jungles quite easily accessible.
Perhaps the most important opportunities afforded by the current circumstances are what one might call human opportunities. The home of one quarter of humanity is now open to acquaintance in a way not possible in recent times. Through sustained participation in mainland scientific endeavors as mediated by the almost culture and politics free language of science, strong personal connections can be made with members of China's intellectual community, traditionally a most influential group. The reciprocal flow of understandings thereby made possible are bound to have a positive effect as mainland China assumes the larger world role made possible by its rapid economic expansion. Naturally, taste for adventure is always a valuable asset.
