General tips and warning for visiting in China:

1. Be wary if anyone invites you for tea or to see an art exhibition. However nice they may seem, politely decline!

2. Don't bring a lot of cash with you if you get drunk.

3. Avoid buying electronics anywhere other than a reputable store, don't buy at the markets as they may not be what they claim. Ipods bought at the markets are generally mp3 players if they work at all.

4. For clothes shopping in Beijing the silk market is just great. Very touristy and about as much hassle as anywhere in the world but if you just take your time it can be very rewarding. But you must haggle hard, very hard, like 10-15% of where they start from. Most if not all of the stuff if fake but considering all the originals are made in China anyway the quality is mostly good. The antique market is good on weekends to for nick nack type stuff and gifts.

China is a country with vast land, long history, picturesque scenery and hospitable people. You will fall in love with it at once. Have a memorable trip in China!

We just finished our 13-day luxury China tour and back home. The whole trip brough us counteless surprise. Beijing and Xian are compacted with historical heritage, while Shanghai and HK provide a full image of modern China. We love Guilin most as it's such a beautiful city. We felt going around in a picture. Apart from the normal spots arranged in the itinerary, we took a night cruise tour along the two rivers in Guilin. It lasted 1.5 hours and cost at 130.00rmb/ person. The beautiful night scenery was so charming that we were really reluctant to finish our tour. China is such an attractive country. I love it!!

One idea that you could implement would be providing a printed itinerary for each city city with specific information about each site we visit. This would be helpful for people who keep journals to be able to capture the names of places.
