[quote=LEMONCACTUS ,30599]More good advice Runnermore... I think this applies generally to travel everywhere in the world.Just to add a note especially for travel in China I think it's a really good idea to have places you want to visit written down in Chinese characters... if all else fails you can point and hope.I've spent a couple of weeks researching my latest trip and have bought 2 maps in Chinese of the provinces, marked on the locations of the places I want to go, researched the characters and pinyin and English names. Also translated main destinations into pinyin so I can pronounce them and get trains/buses more easily etc.Of course, I'm going to some pretty obscure places, and by myself. If you join a tour or go to some of the well-travelled tourist spots you don't need to work so hard!Last summer I had to completely re-route my itinerary due to time constraints... so good preparation is essential, but the willingness to be flexible is also key. You never quite know what will happen.Happy travelling :)[/quote]
