[quote=TRANN,222297]Hi. I will be teaching in China this July/August and have been planning to do some traveling beforehand. I will arrive in Hong Kong and spend three to four nights there, followed by travel throughout the Northeast (Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Huangshan, and any other suggested areas if you can come up with some!). I've heard that the cheapest way to book flights/rail tickets is to do so after you arrive in China. I was thinking that during my stay in Hong Kong I would check a few agencies and get some quotes to get lower prices. Would this be a safe bet? What can I expect to pay for airfare from Hong Kong to Beijing or Xian to Shanghai if I book domestically in China? Would a combination of rail/bus/air travel work better once I arrive in Beijing for travel elsewhere in the general area of China?Also, I just bought a Sony Cybershot digital camera. The instructions say it will operate from 30 F to 100 F with 80-90% humidity max. I already know the plastic bag trick for combating condensation, but do you think I could safely bring this camera without fear of it succumbing to the weather? I have the option of bringing a 35mm camera, but I would like to avoid the costs of film (and possible x-ray dangers). Thanks a lot![/quote]
