 | Can you advise me please? I plan to go to China around Dec 20 or 22 to early January with two friends. We can only stay 2 maybe 3 weeks. Usually, we prefer to travel on our own, without a tour group. We want to see Shanghai, and we don't want to be too cold. We often like to stay a few days in each place rather than rushing around too much. Where should we go, please, and what should we see. Judith Kaye |

| Hi, Jaye. I suggest you visit the ancient water town--Zhujiajiao in the suburb of Shanghai for several days to enjoy the tranquility. Zhujiajiao is considered "Shanghai's Venice". Have fun! |

| It is a little bit cold in Shanghai for that time. If you want to escape from the cold, why not to choose some coastal cities as your destinations? Such as Xianmen, Sanya, ... |

| If you just want to travel around Shanghai and Zhujiajiao, I think three daus are enough! If you have more time, I would strongly recommend the itinerary of Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuxi, and Suzhou. From these, you can masticate picturesque water towns in Southeast China as classic Chinese architecture. And tranquil, peaceful "Oriental Venice" - Zhouzhuang is noted for its profound cultural background, the well preserved ancient residential houses, the elegant watery views and the strong local colored traditions and customs. |

| Hainan is a better choice for your winter trip. Better to avoid any shopping there. Not too much worthy of purchasing |

| GUESTLILY | My friends and I plan to go to China for Christmas and new year countdown in december, we have only 8 days in china, so is Shanghai best for new year countdown ? And we will go by our own, taking train from Beijing to Shanghai. So besides these 2 provinces, we plan to go one more place, what is your recommendation ? Nanjing, Suzhuo or else ? Thank you |

| Hi, you can go to yunnan province, southwest of China,there you can enjoy a warm winter, everyday sunshine, blue sky, flowers , trees still in blossom, the average temperature in daytime is 23 degree, and the best is there is no rain in winter time, if time permits, you can go further to south Asia, like thailand, laos, vietnam... there are good flight connections between kunming and other cities in south Asia. personally, i don't like winter in shanghai, too cold for me, and they don't have heating inside, you have to open the air conditioner in the rooms, it is not so healthy . |

| Hong Kong, Shanghai or Beijing. Please note that Beijing and Shanghai are municipalities (or cities), not province. If you only have 8 days, I think Shanghai and Beijing would already be quite enough for your time! |
