Sample a slice of America

Five hours from China by air is Guam, an island in the western Pacific. And it is trying hard to draw Chinese visitors with its many attractions as a wedding and shopping destination and its water sports

It is unlikely that a lot of Chinese know that Guam is the closest you can get to the United States from China. The island in the western Pacific is less than five hours flying time from the mainland and has a lot to offer when it comes to tourism.

For instance, tourists can take airplane rides over the sea, drive sports cars, watch dolphins play, go snorkeling or scuba diving to explore Guam's underwater world, which features more than 400 types of coral, and 700 types of fish.
