[quote=SC109,223821]I am looking forward to a trip to Beijing and Xian in August 2005 as it has been our 'dream' for quite some time. We do not speak Mandarin! although we are eager to learn some basic phrases. We are a family of 3 and would like to have recommendations as to whether to fly or take a train to Xian. We would like to see more of the countryside but checking the train schedule it means getting a late train so missing most scenery at night or arriving quite late by travelling during the daytime. . Would it be a good idea to have a'guides/translator' who speaks English? Do not need 'official' guide or guided tour perhaps as there are plenty of literature about all sites available. We like travelling 'ad-hoc', have never joined any tours in all the countries we have visited. Like any other travellers we do not like being taken 'for a ride' whether it be in London or Timbuktu. Will be glad for any recommendations.[/quote]
