Unfortunately, I have read so many articles that I am a bit confused of where to go/ what to do and which things better to leave for another time. Can anyone give me some tips how to organize these three weeks in the best way? Does anyone want to meet during this time as I would love to meet some people over there?

Hong Kong -> 2 nights
Guilin + Yangshuo -> 3~4 nights
Xian -> 2~3 nights
Beijing -> 3 ~4 nights
Shanghai -> 2 nights

If you want to travel with leisure and enjoy everything slowly, you can add about 1 night's stay in each of the above destinations. But if you prefer to cover as many places as you can in a very fast pace, you can jam the 3 nights' Yangtze River Cruise between Guilin and Xian.

Have a good time!

I agree with Rita's plan,it is perfect and viable. If you need any help in Beijing,pls tell me! Welcome to Beijing,and welcome to China!Good luck! california

Hi Ellyse,

it would be great to meet you in Shanghai.
I think I am quite easy to please regarding my holidays as long as I do not pass them entirely in my hotel room or beach ;-)
I like to be bussy, but I don't mind a few relaxing breaks. I would like to experience the culture/people/customs as much as possible within this short time. So I don't need to see every touristic place, if I can experience much more interesting things.

If you have some time and don't mind an overexcited German tourist, please let me know.
My schedule is not fixed yet as I am trying to work out a visit to a friend from Shenzhen.
But I think I should arrive in Shanghai on the 22-24 May.
Thanks for your offer!
