Shanghai to Hong Kong, where in between??

There are many nice places in between. It all depends on what you like to do. some cities around Shanghai have lot's to offer. Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shaoxing and the so called water towns (though at least Zhouzhuang is extremely touristy). Huangshan mountain is another possibility but it may be too cold. Another area which is really nice and off the tourist map is the Hunan province. Fantastic spicy food. Changsha is a nice city with friendly inhabitants, a very good musuem and some parks. there are other areas in Hunan that are more difficult to get to and I don't know if it is the right season but Zhangjiajie Forest Park is one of the most beautiful places I have to and Phoenix Town (Fenghuang) is very pretty and the surroundings stunning. Personally I didn't like Guilin so much but I had first visited Hunan which had such a different flavour, in the sense that very few Westerners go there while in Guilin and Yangshuo you are just a wallet, although the scenery is fantastic (in my opinion not as good as Zhangjiajie though). You may also be able to do a cruise on the Yangtse river which is an experience not ot be missed. Guangzhou is fine for a day or two. Shenzhen, though I haven't been, doesn't seem to have much to offer. Reply to this
