If you don´t have a China Visa, you can get it easyly in Hong Kong, only have to wait some 24 hours and you will have it.

Apr. 2006. Really modern city. Excellent night life. I spent my birthday there in a Irish pub drinking good Guiness beer. The YMCA is a good option to have lodging at low cost in a clean and safe place.

I suggest to take a taxi and ask the driver to take you to visit the main points of the city. Must spent one night in the Soho, , viist the HKTC and take the ferry.

Many many foreign comunities. Hong Kong looks like a meeting point of all cultures, like westerns, chineses, arabs, africans, etc.

Sep 2004. From Wuxi to Changzhou I visited small factories of electric parts and metal working. These are the really chinese manufacturing plants, where the small parts are made. Many young girls seat one by the other in long tables assembling parts. I looked like them as strange.

I knew the famous Yellow River. Traveling from Jinan to Dongying Is a good opportunity to know the inner country of this part of china.

Sept. 2004. A nice city with wonderful people. I stayed for 3 days on business, but taking the chance to know everything I can of the local people and the city. It is very cheap to eat there, just one RMB for a cup of rice!. I tasted the snake, the hot pot and a very strong alcoholic beverage made from herbs and pieces of snakes. According to my translator, this will make me more "strong" with the girl. But I had it at once, some 50 cc and this makes my face red in flames!.

Also when I arrived to the hotel, a wedding was taking place there, and I had been inmediatly invited to the party!, I got an offer of cigarret (a local tradition). Very good people!
