I just feel like the British Museum, it's like a river of human culture.
So it's just like you can take a boat.
You could just walk around it and like you're taking a boat to travel through the the civilization.
That's Jahan, a Chinese woman in her early 30s who I met on a windy late summer afternoon outside the British Museum.
Over the noise of a nearby construction site,
Jahan told me about her European honeymoon, on which London is the first stop.
My husband coffee in England is not that good.
So he's very looking forward to trying coffee in Italy.
And I don't agree with him because I just think it's because maybe the coffee in is not his taste.
Queuing amongst tired commuters for a latte may not be the first image that comes to mind
when you think about Chinese tourists in London.
You might imagine packed coaches, color-coordinated hats and shopping sprees at designer outlets.
But Jahan represents a new kind of Chinese visitor.
She's young, well-educated and more interested in experiencing the real Britain than simply taking off landmarks.
And she's not alone.
I'm Jiehao Chen, The Economist China researcher and Drum Tower producer.
And this week, I'm joined by Joel Bud, our social affairs editor.
We'll visit some Chinese tourist hotspots in the UK and ask, what are Chinese travelers looking for?
And what does it tell us about China today?
