Why learn Mandarin Chinese?

This explains why so many companies do business in and with China, but China is also one of the most traveled destinations on the planet. Knowing basic Mandarin Chinese words and phrases before traveling to China or a Mandarin Chinese-speaking country will help you feel more at ease during your trip.
Visiting China:
In addition to its economy, China is experiencing a tourism boom. Worldwide, China is one of the hottest tourist markets right now, and is the third most visited country. While traveling to China, it is good to keep in mind that while English is becoming more popular, most of the Chinese population does not understand it. There are many varieties of the Chinese language, but Mandarin is widely accepted as a standard form. A few of the major travel destinations in China include the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, Hong Kong and the Kowloon Peninsula, and Nanjing Road in Shanghai. Beyond sightseeing, travelers will definitely want to try real Chinese cuisine!
