    1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

    Spirited Argentina, with its clamouring capital, vast pampas,

    rolling wine regions and snowy peaks, is a land bursting

    with adventure� It’s a place where the clichés hold true

    football is essentially a religion, the beef is phenomenal

    and there’s little point even thinking about starting a proper

    night out before midnight� Its natural wonders range from

    Andean plateaux and Patagonian glaciers to subtropical

    waterfalls and wildlife-rich wetlands� There’s an awful lot to

    love�

    ) Buenos Aires might sit at the very edge of the country, gazing out across the Rio de la Plata, but it’s very much

    Argentina’s centrepiece� The city of Evita and Maradona,

    its tango halls, parillas (grill restaurants) and feisty

    porteños (BA residents) provide a gutsy introduction to

    the country� In the high-end neighbourhoods of Recoleta

    and ) Palermo you’ll find designer boutiques and trendy eateries, while historic San Telmo offers antique stalls,

    old-world cafés and an abundance of live music�

    In the north, scorched mountains and otherworldly rock

    formations characterise the Salta region, where Spanish and

    Gaucho traditions combine and Argentina’s famous white

    wines flourish� Further west, in the Mendoza region, the

    grapes are red and the foothills of the Andes offer skiing,

    while down south, in Patagonia, you’ll find an astonishing

    spread of expansive lakes, jagged peaks and mile upon

    empty mile of open space�

    Elsewhere, try walking in the glistening Lake District,

    whale-watching off the coast at Puerto Madryn, meeting

    baby penguins in Punta Tombo or exploring the Jesuit

    chapels and farmhouses of Córdoba� Another of the

    country’s majestic natural beauties is the mighty Iguazu

    Falls, bordering Argentina and ) Brazil� Despite living through a dark military dictatorship and a

    spectacularly devastating economic crisis, Argentineans

    still have a vivacious and infectious lust for life� And from

    its subtropical top to its icy tip, it remains a mesmerising

    country�

    Neuquén is a province of Argentina, located in the west of

    the country, at the northern end of Patagonia� It borders

    Mendoza Province to the north, Rio Negro Province to the

    southeast, and Chile to the west� It also meets La Pampa

    Province at its northeast corner�

  • — 9 — 2 0 1 9 T R A V E L L E R ’ S G U I D E

    equivalent without having to declare� The export of foreign

    currency for amounts higher than US$10,000 or its equiva-

    lent in other currencies is prohibited� Minors aged between

    16 and 21 years old can exit Argentina with a maximum of

    US$2,000 or its equivalent in other currencies, and minors

    under 16 years old with a maximum amount of US$1,000 or

    its equivalent in other currencies�

    CURRENCY EXCHANGE

    Foreign currencies can be exchanged in banks and author-

    ised cambios (bureaux de change), which are available in all

    major cities� Visitors should be aware that due to the instabil-

    ity of the peso, there is a large ‘blue’ market for dollars, which

    provides a much more favourable exchange rate of exchange�

    Whilst it is illegal to exchange currency in from these unau-

    thorised money lenders, the practice is so common so as to

    make the black market rate the de facto rate�

    1.8 FOOD AND DRINKS IN ARGENTINA

    Argentina serves up an exceptional standard of food,

    although choices can often be restricted to meat, pasta and

    pizza� Buenos Aires, however, offers a wide selection of

    culinary genres, with Japanese, Thai and Asian-fusion food

    becoming increasingly popular� Vegetarians may struggle

    to find extensive veggie options, but most restaurants do

    serve vegetables and salads� Outside Buenos Aires, however,

    vegetarians may be faced with quite limited choices�

    Wherever you are in the country, meat is the name of the

    game here, and if you fancy broadening your carnivorous

    horizons, then there is a weird and wonderful array of meat

    treats to get stuck into� The traditional Argentine parrilla

    (grill) is the very heart and soul of Argentina’s cuisine� Don’t

    forget to liberally douse your chosen meats in delicious

    chimichurri – a sauce made from finely chopped parsley

    and oregano, garlic, olive oil and vinegar� Those after an

    authentic and reliably delicious meat experience in Buenos

    Aires, try El Trapiche in Palermo, and Desnivel in San Telmo�

    For breakfast, head to a traditional confitería (café) and

    sample a few medialunas (small, croissant-like pastries) and

    a strong café con leche� In cities, fashionable resto-bars

    (restaurant-bars) are taking hold, offering more contempo-

    rary takes on traditional Argentine cuisine, and all manner

    of lunch options� A strong Italian influence means quality

    ice cream is also popular� In the evening, Argentines dine

    late – 21:00 is considered early – and the feasts are typically

    massive�

    Argentina’s wines have flooded the international market in

    recent years, and are famed for their quality and value� Try

    a light pinot noir from Patagonia or an inky and smooth

    Malbec, and don’t miss Argentina’s celebrated white, the

    aromatic Torrontés�

    If you’re baffled by the choice of meat cuts most waiters

    in parrillas are more than happy to advise on what to start

    with and how much per person – even if you have limited

    Spanish�

    SPECIALITIES

    Bife de ancho (rib eye steak)�

    Bife de chorizo (sirloin steak)�

    Bife de lomo (fillet steak)�

    Empanadas (little pasties typically stuffed with meat,

    vegetable or cheese)�

    Parrillada (mixed grill which might include morcilla - blood

    sausage)�

    Alfajores (shortbread-type biscuits sandwiched with dulce

    de leche - a caramelised milk sauce)�

    1.10 TRAVELING AROUND ARGENTINA

    BY AIR

    Argentina is huge, making air travel the most practical

    way to get around� However, airlines in Argentina operate

    a two-tier pricing structure, which means that foreign

    travellers pay twice, or even three times as much, as locals�

    Aerolíneas Argentinas serves many domestic desti-

    nations from its key hubs in Buenos Aires, Cordoba and

    Bariloche�

    ROAD CONDITIONS

    A 4x4 is recommended if venturing too far outside rural

    areas� When driving in cities keep windows closed and doors

    locked, especially when stopping at junctions�

    Major roads are generally in good condition, although rural

    roads, composed of packed dirt, can become impassable

    after rain�

    The ‘A’ roads are the autopistas (motorways) and those

    labelled ‘R’ are rutas (roads) - tolls exist on all main roads�

    The Automóvil Club Argentino - ACA (Tel 0800 777 2894

    in Argentina; www�aca�org�ar) offers breakdown cover and

    reciprocal benefits for members of motoring organisations

    in other countries�

    REGULATIONS

    The maximum speed limit on motorways is 130kph

    (80mph), 80kph (50mph) on one-lane roads, while the speed

    limit in built-up areas varies (40-60kph/25-37mph)� The

    wearing of seat belts is compulsory�

    CAR HIRE

    Visitors aged 21 or over may hire a car in Argentina� Car hire

    is available in most towns and cities, and many international

    companies operate out of Buenos Aires and main tourist

    destinations�

    ROAD DIRECTIONS

    From Bariloche you will drive towards the north and about

    20 kms away you will find the route to Villa La Angostura

    which is 70 kms away� It is all paved and it has a beautiful

    overlook of all the coast line of Nahuel Huapi Lake� From the

    North you can get here along the Seven Lakes Route, which

    you can take in San Martin de los Andes� You will have a

    90 kms drive while observing the mountain range lakes with

    their awesome sights�

    Frontier passages:Cardenal Samoré Passage (former

    Puyehue)

    It is 1314 AMSL (42º 29’ 07’’ South Latitude – 70º 25’ 91’’ West

    Longitude) and it is open all year long� It is considered the

    second most important in the country because it has direct

    communication with Puerto Montt (220 kms away) and

    Osorno (117 kms away) along the Chilean Austral Motorway

    and with all the other parts of the Chilean Patagonia� The

    road is paved in almost all its stretches, you must be careful

    in the stretches which are still being built� It is an important

    commercial passage, which makes the traffic quite thick�

    The road is of rubble over National Route 231, it is averagely

    7 metres wide and it is in good conditions� The distance to

    the limit is 4 km�

    2 CHINA - Shanghai

  • — 20 — 2 0 1 9 T R A V E L L E R ’ S G U I D E

    2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

    China is one of the four ancient civilizations of the world

    with the diversity of cultures and tradition�

    The beginning of Chinese civilization started 5,000 years

    ago and it’s now split in 56 different nationalities� People

    from different nationalities have different cultural back-

    ground� Different culture makes different society develop-

    ment, which makes China not only has amazing natural

    scenery but also a lot of unique cultural landscape�

    Shanghai is one of the four municipalities under the direct

    administration of the central government of the Republic

    of China, the largest city in China by population, and the

    second most populous city in the world, with a population

    of 24�18 million as of 2017� It is a global financial centre

    and transport hub, with the world’s busiest container port�

    Located in the Yangtze River Delta, it sits on the south edge

    of the estuary of the Yangtze in the middle portion of the

    East China coast� The municipality borders the provinces of

    Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the north, south and west, and is

    bounded to the east by the East China Sea�

    As a major administrative, shipping and trading city,

    Shanghai grew in importance in the 19th century due to

    trade and recognition of its favourable port location and

    economic potential�

    Shanghai, where cloud-piercing corporate towers intermin-

    gle with sepia-tinted memories of the 1920s and 1930s, has

    always been a place of its own� These days, it’s the metrop-

    olis that other Chinese cities aspire to reach� It’s fast-placed,

    confident and still growing at an extraordinary rate�

    For visitors, the main riddle is knowing where to begin�

    Scenically at least, there’s no clearer way of putting Shang-

    hai’s growth into context than by standing on the Bund, the

    city’s famous waterfront sweep of colonial buildings� From

    here, gaze across the Huangpu River at the glossy ranks of

    mega-structures that now cluster the Pudong skyline�

    But while money and progress have definied Shanghai for

    generations, this is far more than a business city� Nanjing

    Lu, often billed as one of the world’s busiest shopping

  • — 21 — 2 0 1 9 T R A V E L L E R ’ S G U I D E

    streets, is a 5�5 km long (3�5 mile) artery of malls, department

    stores, hotels and restaurants� It gives a good taste of

    Shanghai’s rampant modernity, and a sense of the round-

    the-clock energy that keeps the city ticking along�

    No less interesting is the Old City, where street food, antique

    markerts and old architectures create an entirely different

    atmosphere� It’s unashamedly touristy at times, but remains

    an ablosrbing counterpoint to elsewhere in the city� Call in a

    tea shop, wander the exquisite YuYuan Gardens or visit the

    400-year-old Dajing Temple, which incorporates part of the

    ancicen city wall�

    Elsewhere, the Shanghai Museum (set in a striking complex

    intended to resemble a traditional Chinese cauldron)

    showcases superb artworks from earlier eras, while the

    (deep breath) Museum of the First National Congress of the

    Chinese Communist Party gives interesting insight into the

    early days of the Mao era�

    Shanghai is a city that travels at speed and sweeps you

    long the ride� Wheater you’re joining the masses on the

    waterfront, delving into the city’s arts scene or settling into a

    packed dumpling restaurant, it’s hard not to be impressed by

    the sheer scale of the place�

    Local time is CST (China Standard Time) UTC/GMT+8

    2.2 KEY FACTS

    • Area 6,341 sq km

    • Population 24,183,300 (November 2018)

    • Population density 6,468 per sq km�

    • Country Republic of China

    • Government Municipality of 16 districts

    • Head of state President of China Xi Jinping since 2013

    • Electricity There are two main standards for voltage and

    frequency in the world� One is the standard of 110-120

    volts at a frequency of 60 Hz (mostly used in USA), and

    the other is the standard of 220–240 volts at 50 Hz (mostly

    used in Europe)� China uses generally 220V, 50HZ, AC

    (Hong Kong is 200V; Taiwan is 110V)� An international

    plug adaptor is strongly recommended�

    HEALTH CARE

    Medical services tend to be offered through local hospitals

    rather than private clinics, but tourists are advised to

    have travel insurance which covers medical costs as

    many hospitals will expect payment in cash before giving

    treatment� Costs at local hospitals are low and standards

    vary� Travellers are advised to take a friend who can translate

    if going to a local hospital, as many of the medical staff will

    not understand English�

    Medical facilities in international hospitals (located in the

    bigger cities) are much better and many common drugs are

    available over the counter� Traditional Chinese medicine

    treatments are also used widely in China, such as acupunc-

    ture, meridian massage, cupping and herbal medications�

    FOOD AND DRINK

    All water used for drinking, brushing teeth or freezing

    should first be boiled or otherwise sterilised� Bottled water,

    widely and cheaply available, is the most advisable way of

    getting around this� Be especially careful when eating at

    small street-side stalls or restaurants where standards of

    hygiene may not be high� Pork, salad, scallops, snails and

    mayonnaise may carry increased risk� Vegetables should be

    cooked and fruit peeled�
