Hi Oman

U will stay here in 20days. And u will travel 5 cities in China.

So i think the best way to depart your trip in China is each cities 4 days. Some cities like Beijing u can have 5days, if u want to experince more culture in China. But as you are new to all the cities, so u can each 4 days.

My pleasure.

I think you do mean Yiwu, not Aiyou.
Just curious, why Wuzhou? Is it the Wuzhou in Guangxi province?
Your itinerary looks generally ok.
1) and 3) Beijing (3 days) -- (flight? probably via another city) -- Wuzhou (2 days) -- (train/long-distance bus) -- Guangzhou (3 days) -- (D train) -- Shenzhen (3 days) -- (flight) -- Yiwu (2 days) -- (D train/long-distance bus) -- Shanghai (4 days) -- (overnight D train/flight) -- Beijing (3 days)
2) What do you mean by "suggested places to visit"? If you're looking for general sightseeing information, please do some background reading first, try a Google with the appropriate keywords. Otherwise if you're looking for more specific information, it would be wise to provide more information about your sightseeing interests/preferences etc.
4) How much money you need to have/spend would depend on your spending habits. I presume you mean a Visa credit card? No problem using those in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen at major hotels and perhaps some bigger restaurants, but otherwise China is generally a cash society.
If you've any more queries, email me at yahoo.com|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg Altobi) in the subject line.

Hi.. mr Altobi,

As I suggest you can browse the suppliers in China cities and then the transportation link to reach them there. Otherwise you can also ask the factory man to pick up you / meet in hotel. As I have also visitted, Yiwu is a huge wholesale market, everything as you need. In modern market and techie city - Guangzhou Import Export Fair Centere ; this both is a must- to travel and sourcing resources.

Hope your have a nice travelling.

Melody obviously didn't notice/care that this traveller isn't planning to go anywhere near Hainan island.
