SAFELEE Points: Join Date: Jun 4, 2009 Status: offline	Hi people, congratulations on a very good and informative site. I plan to take three weeks holiday by myself in China in the next month or so. I have never been there before, nor do I speak the language. I am 56 years old, single, healthy and male,. I am open to all suggestions, like should I get a guide etc. Can anyone suggest where I should start my journey from and where I should travel to during my stay. I would be grateful if you could mention the places to avoid. I have traveled the world many times but never through Asia and I'm really looking forward to it. Thank you in advance

Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guilin, Xi'an and Sanya are must-see places when travelling China. Have a good trip!

Do you already have your flight tickets to China? If you want further help with itinerary planning and such, email me at yahoo.com\|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg SafeLee) in the subject line, thanks.
