[quote=GUEST23187,365805]Thanks Dave!

I actually am going to Erhai Lake (liking tge idea of thr horse-carriage!) as well as Baisha, though I didn't know they had great food there, thanks, I'm looking forward to it even more!   These are places I did not find on any tours which is why I was asking around.

Your suggestion to La Shi Hai sounds very interesting and I will definitely check it out.

I only mentioned the main "hubs"  that I will be traveling from for reference.  It's my first China trip, so I figured I'd get in the touristy sites along with others, just enough to get myself familiar with it a bit and have something more to look forward to on my next visit.  That's the main reason I am not booking with a tour company from here.  I'm hoping to see more than that.

When I traveled in Europe, both western and eastern, I always started out in the main areas and then seemed to wonder and find little gems along the way, places I continue to visit and recommend years later.  One of my favorite activities in Venice was getting lost!  There's nothing like it, I found things I would have never known about otherwise.  That's what I am hoping for China, but I figured it might be better to ask so I have some sort of plan, and be more spontaneous next time around.

Any and all suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated!!    :o)
