Use the bus!

Hi Guys,
If you have any plans of visiting Hangzhou, I strongly suggest you use the bus to go around! It's the cheapest way to get around...just familiarize yourself with the bus routes on the map...know where you are and where you want to go! I was able to save up tremendously!

Yuyuan Garden

Yuyuan is a must see once you're in Shanghai! It's a mixture of both modern and ancient surroundings! There are so many things to see and buy...this is where you have to be on your guard...the prices of the various merchandise are extremely expensive! Should you have some time to do your shopping outside Shanghai, do it! Shop anywhere else except in Shanghai. I discovered this when I got to go to the other cities having the same goods which were much much lower in price!
The Hutongs

While in Beijing, I joined this tour group that included a visit to the Hutong Alleys...once I paid my 60yuan ticket, the tour guide left me with another guide...unfortunately it was said in Chinese and since it was such a big group and me being the only foreigner(also looking like a chinese)who am I to complain! The sites were not as fascinating and the place was simply a drag! For 60 yuan, you might as well buy dozens of cut-paper art!
Certificate of the climb!

Hey guys,
Going to the Great Wall is definitely a must! I was so enthralled that when I got to one of the posts selling certificates that you did indeed climb the Wall, I hastily bought one. I got one without my picture in it for 30yuan!...as I walked further there were other stalls with the same service but with much lower price and with your photo in it! So for you guys out there...haggle a little!

Ni Hao,
Hey guys, if you happen to get off at Nanjing Road pay close attention to where you put your valuables! I lost my cellphone while I was walking there. Mind you, my cellphone was put in the inner most compartment of my backpack, yet these pickpockets are so sly, you won't know what will hit you. I only got to know about the theft when a biker was saying something in chinese and gesturing that someone stole my cellphone. Put your precious possessions in front of you! Better be safe than sorry!
