Mr.Bench(New Zealand) said:
Hi, I will be in China on 2nd of May. Is it not difficult to visit the tourist attractions without joining any tours?

Mr.Lin replied:
No, you can go by yourselves except some historical sites such as the Terracotta Warriors. A guide is much helpful to know the background history.

Mr.Bench(New Zealand) replied:
Thanks Mr. Lin. Xian is included in my itinerary.I can still visit the Terracotta Warriors just by myself (as you have mentioned a guide is helpful for the background history)?

Mr.Lin replied:
Hi, Bench. I suggest you to hire an English-speaking guide when you visit the Terracotta Warriors. You can go to the tourist service center in the museum to find a guide. I went to Terracotta Warrior in 2004 but I did not hire a guide at that time, when I saw the terracotta warrior, I just did not understand and felt very dull. Later I searched for the information and found actually there were many historical knowledge behind. So a guide is much better and makes your journey more valuable I think.

Hi, I will be going to Beijing in the middle of April 2010 for about 10 days. I would not like to join a group tour. Could anyone please advice me is it possible to join short tours like a day or two type? Could anyone recommend a good 3/4 star hotel with easy acess to main city or in the city? This is my first trip to China. Thanks for your help.

Mr.Robin(USA) replied:
Of course, you can join short tours, just name the places you would like to go and the travel agency will arrange it for you, for example: Forbidden City-Badaling, or Forbidden City-Mutianyu Great Wall is a popular tourism line. Recommend Beijing Wangfujing Grand Hotel to you. It is located in Wangfujing Avenue with easy access to Tiananmen Square or Forbidden City.

We are planning a two week holiday in China in July travelling from Perth Australia with four children - aged 5 to 14. Please advise the best itinerary and whether we should stop off on route thank you

Ms.Miranda replied:
China has a lots of the natural sights and manmade sights which you should cover both. My suggest is Beijing-Xian-Yangtze River-Shanghai-Guilin. This is a common route that many foreigners would follow when they come to China, for it covers both the typical natural and manmade sights.

Kindly advise where can I make advance booking for the train ticket for Beijing to Xian. I got see some advance booking can be made in some websites but the prices are much more expensive that the counter price.

Mr.help replied:
Hi, why don't you just go to Beijing railway station to book the ticket. It is convenient and cheap. Many chinese people buy their train tickets directly at the train station.
