[quote=APAULT ,34626]It is certainly possible to travel without speaking Chinese. Even though I had worked in China for a year I still found it difficult. However, I used only one hostel and visited only one of the tourist sites you mention. That one tourist destination experience was visiting Shanghai and Suzhou - that was very much easier than the rest of my trip where I went off the beaten track (though mostly cities). In the Shanghai hostel the staff spoke English and knew the places backpackers wanted to go to and how to get there. And of course you get loads of info from other backpackers too - most of whom how they all managed even though most spoke no Chinese.My advice is to allow enough time, it takes time to find out things, maybe check out the information..eg actually go to the bus station that you are told the bus you want leaves from on the day before![/quote]
