i've been giving a bit of history and background on China. Hope you've been enjoying the posts. There are several major Chinese dialects and many subdialects. The Beijing dialect, often called Mandarin (or Putonghua), is taught in all schools and is the medium of government. Almost two-thirds of Han Chinese are native speakers of Mandarin; the rest, concentrated in southwest and southeast China, speak one of the other major Chinese dialects. Tourism Modern tourist facilities are available in major cities, but facilities in smaller provincial cities and rural areas are frequently below international standards. Thanks for reading.
