Hello! I'm currently travelling up Vietnam heading for China with a friend, we are very excited if a little overwelmed by the sheer size of the Country. We have just over 20 days and know we want to travel by train and head from Hanoi to Beijing then to Shanghai and finally to Hong Kong to catch our flight to OZ. We are looking for any hints or advice on where along that route, or near to it, we can stop for a few days. Any suggestions on where would be good to stop and see would be greatly appreciated we are gettong quite confused and the guide books aren't much help until you have an idea of what to do. We are looking to be pretty mobile and spend no more than two to three days in each place we know we're going to Beijing, Shanghai and hong kong can you please suggest any other destinations????

As i said any help will be gratefully recived


Thank you

Becky and Amy xx

What are your basic sightseeing interests and preferences?
Here's a sample itinerary, without making it too difficult:
Beijing (4 days) -- overnight Z train -- Hangzhou (2 days) -- bus -- Huangshan (2 days) -- overnight train -- Nanjing (2.5 days) -- D train -- Suzhou (0.5 days) -- taxi -- Tongli water village (1 day including overnight stay) -- taxi -- Suzhou (transit) -- D train -- Shanghai (3 days) -- train (1 day) -- Guilin (transit) -- bus -- Yangshuo (3 days) -- overnight sleeper bus -- Shenzhen (transit) -- walk across border -- Hong Kong (3 days)
That's 20+ days. If you want to discuss further, email me at yahoo.com|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg BeckyBerd) in the subject line.
