Advice/Help Needed

Hi,

My wife and I will be travelling to China in the last week of September for 18 days. I have been going through these forums trying to figure what we should do. At the moment:

6 nights in Beijing

6 nights in Shanghai

6 nights in Hong Kong

I don%26#39;t have the slightest clue what city I should shorten and which cities to add.

We%26#39;re both in our late 20%26#39;s, early 30%26#39;s and aren%26#39;t big fans of looking at structures while sightseeing, except for the must-see like GW, Forbidden City, etc..

I know that I%26#39;m starting my research early but I really want this to be an amazing trip for my wife and I want to be prepared.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Why on earth are you spending so much time in big cities? What are you interested in?

I%26#39;d cut Beijing %26amp; HKG down to 4 days and Shanghai to 2, then depending on your interests add 2 days in Xi%26#39;an; 2 days in Hangzhou and 3-4 days in Guilin/Yangshuo OR add 6-8 days in Yunnan.

I agree with Zhuhai. 18 days is a long time to be spending in just 3 cities but I guess you are still working on your itinerary:)

Beijing - 4 nights

Xian - 1 night

Yangshuo (Guilin) - 4 nights

Hangzhou - 1 to 2 nights

Shanghai - 3 nights

Hong Kong - 3 - 4 nights

or

Beijing

Yunnan - via Kunming - Dali, Lijiang and Zhongdian(Shangri-La)

Hangzhou

Shanghai

Hong Kong

Good luck with everything.
