Bubsy83 R Post Count: 7 Msg: #1 53 days ago, September 28th 2009 | I'm planning on going to China next June for about 6 weeks. | Which towns/cities should I visit? Where should I start? Where do I absolutely have to go? Any suggested routes? Thanks in advance  liliram liliram Post Count: 386 Msg: #2 53 days ago, September 28th 2009 | I did the Beijing - Xian - Shanghai bit last May. Then a few side trips while based in Shanghai. Zhouzhang, suzhou and nanjing are only a couple of hours away. | If I were to go back, I would go to Guilin, and perhaps even Tibet.

My friend wanted to go to Datong also, while I wanted to see Guilin and Tibet. Maybe next trip. |  Xi Gua Andrew Wade Post Count: 4 Msg: #5 53 days ago, September 29th 2009 | I personally would recommend against Shanghai. From a tourist POV there's really nothing there. Depending on what you wanna do. Xi'an, Beijing are the most ideal, I would also hit up Pingyao in Shanxi province, it's a great historically preserved city that is very popular. | Chengdu is also a great city to hit up with the Panda Reserve, Leshan Dafo (Giant Buddha), and Emeishan in the vicinity you can easily spend a week there. Guilin and Yangshuo are also must see cities although I think a few days there is good enough. On the west Suzhou and Hangzhou would be good to see too. My suggested route would be Beijing > Pingyao > Xi'an > Chengdu > Guilin/Yangshuo at least. China has so much to do that you can find something cool anywhere you go. But I think Beijing/Xi'an/Guilin/Chengdu are my must see cities.  Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #6 52 days ago, September 29th 2009 |  From a tourist POV there's really nothing there.  I loved the old town, in Shanghai. I also loved the jazz band which played at the Peace Hotel every evening. Dont know if they still play though. The band members were getting pretty old, when I was there 10 years ago.

Spent 3 nights in Beijing and 2 nights each in other locations. Had a cab and translator in all cities and took flights between cities. I have blogs on all the 5 locations. Hope that helps. Every location had its own chram. | tanz38 Tania Post Count: 1 Msg: #8 52 days ago, September 30th 2009 | Have you heard of dragon bus china check out their website it might come in use to you | xiaoyue wangyue Post Count: 5 Msg: #9 14 days ago, November 6th 2009 | i am from China , so i suggest the best routine is shanghai ---jiangsu---nanjing---taiyuan---chengdu my home town, which i supply you can buy the cheapest plane ticket.,maybe need 500 rmb every time u buy .i can be ur guider and translator for u if you need ,of course it ius free for you, i wanna make friend form abroad . | BruceShaw BrucheShaw Post Count: 8 Msg: #10 13 days ago, November 7th 2009 | 6 weeks is enough for | Arrive in Beijing -> Xi'an -> Chengdu -> Yunnan -> Shanghai jinglung roywong Post Count: 5 Msg: #11 1 day ago, November 20th 2009 | Hi Bubsy63, | Have you been to hong kong before, if didnt, i personally suggest you should start you trip from hong kong first for you can enjoy anything in hong kong range from food, entertainment, sightseeing, shopping...... I suggest a different route to you if you take my advice. hong kong - - - shenzhen - - - goungzhou - - - Yulin - - - Shanghai - - -Beijing - - - Nanjing. i especially suggest shenzhen is a good city to visit. you can find some china traditional stuffs with very low price. There is a shopping city called China South City in SZ. Products there are quite low price and good quality. goungzhou (good food), Yulin (good scenary), shanghai, beijing and nanjing (good historial buildings, traditional culture and of course the "great wall") hope you will have a memorable trip in CHINA!
