[quote=GRIZ326 ,35511]That itinerary looks like WORK to me. I counted 4 days of hard sightseeing based on my trip to Beijing last summer...and I eliminated a number of stops from your list.How many days will you really have on the ground? How hard will your first day be because of the travel to China.To accomplish 4 cities in two weeks is hurried for me; traveling by air between cities - absolutely necessary - except perhaps for the Shanghai-Suzhou leg of the trip. I'd suggest traveling light in the backpacker's style, building a list of locations in Chinese characters, and using taxis for transporation. Taxis are more expensive, but save your time for things you want to see.I've always felt that the wonder of traveling in China is mingling with the people off the beaten path. [/quote]
