4 Months in China

4 Months in China

guest17118	Hi, I'm travelling round China for 4 months soon, with my gf who speaks Mandarin. We're starting in the south and will go to Hainan first, then after that Guizhou & Guangxi then onto Yunnan, Sichuan & Chongquing I guess then back to HK to get the 2nd entry on the Visa. Then to Shaanxi, Beijing, Qingdao, Shanghai, Hangzhou. That's a rough itenary, any thoughts from those with experience of China would be appreciated. We enjoy countryside, wildlife, cities, activities, anything really Visa's, vaccinations, everything is fine, I'm just looking for advice on which areas to spend the most time in for a really great trip, we will probably spend a week or two in each place, and we want it to be fairly leisurely and not too packed, spending time in the the nicest places.

Read up on the reviews here of the areas you are considering.
Your GF speaking Mandarin is a big plus.

If you travel slowly and are prepared to take things as they come, you may discover lots of great stuff.
Speak to the locals and just gently fish for information.

Guizhou has enough to keep you busy for a whole month or more of liesurely travel.
You'll be surprised at what you discover if you spend time with people. Works for me all the time.
