[quote=FIRSTTIMETOCHINA,227659]I am planning to travel to China in the first week of March this year. However, I have not been able to make a good decision on what would work - a package tour or a pure backpacking experience. From what I read here, backpacking requires time to be spent and I have just about 15 days. These are the places that I plan to visit: SHANGHAI Shanghai Museum, Jade Buddha Temple, Yu Garden ,the Bund , Xiangyang Road shopping.Acrobatic showOriental TV TowerSUZHOU UNESCO gardenFish Net GardenSilk FactoryFashion showTiger Hill water village- LuzhiPan Man Gate Lion Forest GardenGrand CanalXI'ANVery Near to Xi'an Airport - Chinese PyramidsZhenru Pagoda Visit to the Terra-cotta Army, Huaqing Hot Spring, Big Wild Goose Pagoda.Shaanxi History MuesuemRoyal Gardens ( Huanjia Juayuan) Old wall of Ming DynastyGreat Mosque (Muslim Street, Huiminjie, North of Terracotta Warriors)Drum TowerXing Qing Palace ParkMausoleum of the First Qin Emperor(Near Xi'an Airbase)BEIJINGBeijing Western Train stationTian'anmen Square, Forbidden CitySummer PalaceGreat Wall, Lama Temple Ming Tombs Temple of HeavenSilk Alley, Wangfujing areaCan anyone of you all who are currently in China / planning to visit China advice me on: 1. Is it feasible to see all these places if I were to backpack? 2. Would a package tour be a better option?3. Would the cost differ greatly?
