I toured China with a ballet in 1993. And back then, China was a steal, but I still spent thousands of dollars on the experience.

Now, you can see a good chunk of China for under $1,000, courtesy of Friendly Planet Travel.

I’m really impressed with this package. It includes return airfare from Los Angeles, all domestic flights, transfers, taxes, accommodation for the entire ten days, touring, most meals, and of course – the opportunity to see China with a knowledgeable tour guide.

For more information, check out their China deal (and many others) here.
