China Travel Discussion List

Readers of rec.travel.asia with a particular interest in China may also
be interested in THE ORIENTAL-LIST.

Now more than ten years old and with several hundred members, the list
provides a forum for the discussion of travel in China, and across
China's borders to the nearest major centres, such as Almaty, Bishkek,
Islamabad, Kathmandu, Hanoi, and Ulaan Baatar.

The Oriental-List accepts practical travel queries; discussions of the
merits of individual destinations or routes; accounts of individual
experiences; historical and cultural material relevant to China travel;
reviews and notifications of other China travel resources (newsgroups,
publications, websites, public lectures, etc); political, legal, and
ethical matters to do with travel in China, and China travel news items.

This list is moderated to keep it free from off-topic material, personal
attacks, abuse, foul language, cross-postings, spam, or other trivia. It
is intended to be supplementary to other sources, and does not accept
queries easily answered by looking in a guide book, those in chat-room
style, or overly vague.

The answer to almost any China travel question can vary from month to
month, and so the list maintains no archive, and regards published
sources such as guide books as its FAQ file, dealing mainly in matters
beyond the scope of such books.

The Oriental-List is run entirely pro bono, carries no advertising, the
list of members is not made available to any individual or third party
organisation, and email addresses are stripped from all headers to
prevent their exploitation.

Members include those planning their first trips to China, experienced
China travellers, China-based journalists and foreign residents, as well
as the authors of several books on travel in China.
