I have a friend from China, and the countryside there fascinates me. As do the people, the economic and political environment, and more.
China is definitely a place I'd like to travel - and a place where I will likely do more "talking" about travelling there than actually going and doing.
For some reason, the prospect of travelling to China is somewhat intimidating. Even though a large percentage of the population (particularly in the larger cities) probably know English.
One day, perhaps...
