Answer from @Kenzo Variant:

Both China and Japan are beautiful countries. But personally, if I can pick only one, I will pick China.中國(guó)和日本都是很美的國(guó)家。不過(guò)，就我個(gè)人而言，如果我能選，我會(huì)選中國(guó)。Japan is a very modern country, yet we can still see ancient temples, castles, shrines and go to Osaka for the food which are unforgetable.日本是個(gè)很現(xiàn)代的國(guó)家，同時(shí)也能看到很多古老的寺廟、城堡、神龕，還能去大阪吃到令人難忘的食物。On the other hand, China is much bigger geographically.但另一方面，中國(guó)從地理上來(lái)講就大得多了。I do not think we can really explore and enjoy China in 30 days. And that is by excluding HK and Macau.我覺(jué)得我們?cè)?0天以內(nèi)是沒(méi)有辦法把中國(guó)體驗(yàn)透徹的。而這還沒(méi)有算上香港和澳門。Therefore, saying ‘visit China’ is a bit incorrect, just like saying ‘visit the US’ is not really correct.所以，“去中國(guó)旅游”是不確切的，就像“去美國(guó)旅游”也是不確切的。US is also so big that people should say ‘visit NY’, ‘visit Vegas’, ‘visit SF’, etc.美國(guó)也是個(gè)非常大的國(guó)家，所以應(yīng)該說(shuō)“去紐約旅游”、“去拉斯維加斯旅游”、“去舊金山旅游”等等等等。China is also super modern, yet we can also see the world famous ancient side of China.中國(guó)也是個(gè)非?，F(xiàn)代的國(guó)家，但同時(shí)我們也能看到它舉世聞名的古跡。The difference with Japan is that some of the sceneries in China can be really breathtaking. Some are literally breathtaking like the Great Wall, long walk, requires a lot of breath. :)它和日本的區(qū)別在于，中國(guó)的一些經(jīng)典真的每到令人窒息。有些是貨真價(jià)實(shí)的“令人窒息”，比如常常，你得走好久，走完就喘不過(guò)氣來(lái)了。（微笑~）As for the food, once I meet a western chef who claimed in the world there are only two types of cuisine: French and Chinese.而說(shuō)到食物，我曾經(jīng)見(jiàn)到過(guò)以為西方的大廚，他說(shuō)世界上只有兩種菜系：法國(guó)菜和中國(guó)菜。Also, going to China is much cheaper compared to travelling in Japan.另外，去中國(guó)比去日本便宜多了。If you only have short vacation, Japan wins. But if you have more than one week, China wins.如果你的假期很短，那日本更好。但如果你有一周以上的時(shí)間，那中國(guó)更好。If you have only one week and want to go China, pick Beijing and the surroundings. One week should enough.如果你只有一周卻想去中國(guó)，就去北京和它的周邊吧。一周應(yīng)該夠了。If you want to sample life in a futuristic city, go to Shanghai.如果你想去一個(gè)有未來(lái)感的城市，那就去上海。

 

Answer from @Craig Arthur:

I’m actually going through this decision right at this moment for a holiday in October/November.實(shí)際上我現(xiàn)在正在做這樣一個(gè)決定，因?yàn)槲以谑?、十一月的時(shí)候有個(gè)假期。And…. Despite never having been to China and loving the idea of going there….然后……雖然我從來(lái)沒(méi)有去過(guò)中國(guó)，也很像去哪里……I’m leaning Japan.我還是選擇日本。Why?為什么呢？The main reason is visas. With Japan I just have to go there. It’s no problem.主要的原因就是簽證。去日本的話，我直接去就行了，什么問(wèn)題也沒(méi)有。With China I’ll have to apply for a visa advance, visit the Chinese embassy and…oh it’s such a faff . No thanks.而去中國(guó)的話，我就得先準(zhǔn)備簽證材料、去中國(guó)使館，然后，額，總之太費(fèi)事。還是別了吧。Too much of a pain just for a little visit. I’d need to have a month of holiday at least to make it seem worth the effort to me.想去玩一下要受的罪太多了。這個(gè)假期起碼要一個(gè)月才能玩回本。
