[quote=JJASC,237021]I'll be traveling to china with a group (family) of about 9 people. We have about 16 days available to tour China (we leave on the 16th of August). Now obviously this is not nearly enough time to do any comprehensive traveling of china, but I would like to see some of the major sites. I'm a serious amature photographer, specically interested in landscape photography. Can you guys recommend some nice places to see? Here is a (very rough) plan: We arrive in Hong Kong. From there we have 16 days to see whatever. I have no idea about the travel between cities or how long that takes. Perhaps some of you "experts" could suggest a circuit that starts with (and ends) Hong Kong? More than anything, we want the emphasis to be on culture and landscapes/scenery, so I'm open to swapping out cities to accomplish that. HK(2) Shanghai(3): Tour city for two days. Then tour Hangzhou for a day. Bejing(2): Forbidden palace. Greatwall. Guangzou(2): Nothing much here interests me, but my father just married a lady from here, so I suppose we will have to spend a few days here to meet the new fam... chengdu(?): I would like to try the spicy food here, However, I'm more interested in the beautiful scenery in this province such as Jiuzhaigou Valley. How far is this scenic place from the city? It would be nice to spend a few days touring the gorgeous landscapes reputed to be in this province. Is that doable? Guilin/yangshou (2-3): Caves, river. I can't wait to set up my camera along this river! Yangtze River(?) Krumming(?) Not sure how long it will take to get here from the other parts of china. I would really love to see the Tiger Leaping Gorge, the Stone Forest, Lijiang, 'Shangri-La', and the rest of the stunning sights in this province, but I fear there won't be enough time. I have left out some of the major toursit places like Xian because there's really nothing to see except for some statues. [/quote]
