[quote=CALIFORNIA              ,33201]Hi,Lynn,Here is my answers:1.May I know if it is possible to visit China and do travelling on our own. We speak Mandarin as we are Chinese from S'pore. However we have 3 children aged 4, 8 & 10 in tow. Wonder how's the public transport there. Is it convenient?Yes!It's convenient if you can speak manderin. 2.Can we hop onto a bus and visit a destination or do we have to get the agents to do the booking.As usual,you don't need to book by any agents,you can buy it in the station easily.3.We are prepared to take a sleeper train from Beijing to Xian then to Shanghai. It's an experience not to be missed. How's the cleanliness on the soft seat train or the sleeper train. Heard a lot about spitting. Will we be sleeping in spits????Haha,sleeping in spits???No!The sleeper is clean,especially the soft sleeper!Maybe you can hear snore if you are in the hard sleeper.5.I have heard a lot about getting tour guides, but we have never travelled anywhere with guides before, and feel rather restrictive having somebody tagging along. (We've been USA, Korea, M'sia, Indonesia & HK with internet hotel bookings only. Can we do that in China????)You don't need a guide,I think!6.Then the other issue is with the weather. How's the weather at these places mentioned above. Are they very cold? It's cold in Beijing and Xi'an,and not cold in Shanghai.7.Wonder if anybody out there can help. By the way, is there any trustworthy guidebook?I agree with LC.Good luck!Welcome to China![/quote]
