[quote=MURY,225227]Hi Folks,Ive been looking around here and gathering lots of good advice but now have some questions.I and some friends (about 20 of us) - young middle aged Europeans are planning an April Visit to China. We are all pretty active and enjoy hiking/biking/rafting, great scenery as well as good food :)We have all travelled a fair bit and try to avoid big groups, hawkers etc and are looking for some authentic experiences of China. Some have already visited China and want another taste. We are pretty much into ecotourism and avoid package tourism as much as possible. What we are looking to do is avoid the big crowds/groups and sellers etc. We try to blend - yeah I know thats hard for us :) We are looking to do some of the obvious like hiking on the "wild great wall" and then down to Yangshou for some lovely water/river scenes and then some workout on rafting, bikes and maybe rock-climbing and of course the great food. We have also been looking at Jiuzhaigou to take in some of the stunning lake scenery. But we are concerned about how busy it is (it seems like it gets real busy) and that we may not be able to do much other than soak up the scenery. Is there anywhere for riding/rafting there and is it just tooo busy and commercialised???We dont need to do cheap accomodation and can fly between cities/legs to save time. If someone can give some feedback on these places OR make some other suggestions on places to go that have something special without big crowds I'd be very grateful. We are looking for that something special - so if someone can give some feedback on these places OR make some other suggestions on places to go at that time of year I'd be very grateful. Thanks heaps in advance.Keep well.[/quote]
