some tourist attractions that may be not world-famous but are indeed engaging and exciting in China:(not just great wall or summer palace or fobbiden city are worthy of a trip~~ )

The Ancient Town of Phoenix, Hunan Province

Fantastic local architecture and the fascinating cultures of the Miao and Tujia ethnic minority groups-all beneath the fabulous landscape of mountains and river.

Huizhou, Anhui Province

The place where the past comes alive. Strolling along old streets, past the picturesque countryside and through China's most enchanting villages.

Daocheng, Sichuan Province

The strong presence of the lively Tibetan culture in Daocheng is richened by the many prairies, waterfalls, thick forests and snow-capped mountains.

Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province

Compared to a Venice of China, the ancient town of Wuzhen is laced with rivers and creeks spanned by stone bridges, dotted with old waterside houses and outside corridors. Better still is the romantic haze of Wuzhen in the rain.

The Ancient Town of Lijiang, Yunnan Province

In Lijiang, time turns soft and forgettable. One can join the matriarchal Mosuo people in their fascinating traditions by the beautiful Lugu Lake, basking at the foot of the mysterious Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Kanas Lake, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region

Called "the only Swiss landscape in China", the Kanas Lake area is renowned for its azure sky, tranquil waters, grand glaciers, white snow, lush forest, luxuriant pastures and gurgling streams. It is one of the supreme places to enjoy the hues of Autumn.

Jiuzhai Valley, Sichuan Province

Pure, crystal-clear and colorful water. Another top choice for visiting in Autumn when the leaves turn crisp and multicolored.

Sanya, Hainan Province

Sun, beach, coconut trees, luxury hotels, and the absence of time make Sanya the first choice of Chinese honeymooners and those longing to escape from the city.

Nyingchi, Tibet Autonomous Region

Nyingchi is where the Yarlung Zangbo River makes a grand turn to cut the Himalayas in half and where one can get lost in the natural wonders of its huge cypress forest.

Guilin, Guangxi Province

An old Chinese saying claims that "the landscape of Guilin is the best in the world". Famous for ages already, Guilin still remains a hot tourist spot with its god blessed landscapes of mountains and waters.

Mr.fuyun , China , 2008-2-2 17:22

I'll be traveling to Beijing for the Olympics. A couple of different sources (guidebooks, websites, etc.) have recommended getting a few different immunization shots before traveling: hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and typhoid.
Are getting these shots necessary?

Some kind notice:

Though it is quite easy for you to find an ATM of the Bank of China in the large cities, drawing money from ATM is still not fully safe. Sometimes the inner system is inordinate, then you can't receive the money but it maybe debited from your card. It can't be guaranteed that all the ATM are closed for maintenance when they are not functioning properly. So if you are not in a hurry, it's better to get your money from the Bank counter. Also do remember to get the receipt. You may ask for help if there is any problem occured.
