Though most hotels in China provide Laudry and dry cleaning service as part of their ammenities, most tourist hotel areas have nearby laundry places. Hotels charge by the piece and, even fluctuate in price (as in the US) between mens and ladies clothing. Outside laundry service charges by the Kilo and is much cheaper. Clothing dropped off early in the day, is often ready to be picked up within 4 - 6 hours. One hotel even arranged to leave with their next door business owner when we ran past their closing time in order to assure we'd get our clothing back.

Take a phrase book. The rules of the road are very different in China to the UK so every road crossing involves dicing with death; however towards the end of the trip we were crossing roads like a local. "Walking" the Great Wall involves a lot of scrambling and climbing of steep steps, but is great fun and the views are amazing.

Be prepared for lots of action and activity. There is so much to see and do in all the places that you visit you need lots of energy to do it all! Also don't be afraid to talk to people. We found that people were delighted to chat and talk and show us their country and that's one the best things about travelling in China.
