ROOSTER81 Points: Join Date: Feb 15, 2007 Status: offline	Hi there, I'm planning to come to china for the first time (3 weeks in august). The plan is to fly into shanghai, travel around and fly out from beijing. I don't know alot about china (apart from the most famous things), and after looking at guide books beijing looks brilliant. I am worried though about missing places like guilin or them being difficult or time consuming to get to. Any ideas on where you would go if you had 3 weeks and were happy to backpack around the place? (and any place that you definitely would not miss out?) Thanks for any advice

Good luck!

Sorry Lionpower, but what is there in Shenzhen but shops? I understand that Chinese are proud of this city which has grown so fast and is an example of the new China, but as a tourist I prefer the older more historic cities. So I would send a tourist to the nearby Guangzhou instead whuich has interesting markets, Simian Island, Chens Family Courtyard/Museum and more. But if I am wrong, Lp, please tell us more about Shenzhen.
