Hi,My hubby and I are planning to visit Great Wall China and other places. What month is suitable and what place or staying is nearby so that easy to travel around.
Oct. 14,2009 20:10 Ms.Abbey replied:
Hi Sthllah, you can visit Beijing and Great Wall any month as you like. Well for your information, from December to February will be very cold in Beijing, but with less tourists and the price will be lower. For the accommodation, hotels within downtown may be more convenient for you to visit other sites in Beijing.
Hello Sthllah , my advice is that better not visit beijing during the summer vacation time (late July to early Sep)it is really crowded and very hot, and when you want to cilmb the Great Wall, many people around you and very crowed , so you have to be very cautious and careful when climbing ,...
We plan to fly form Hong Kong (or Shenzhen) to Shanghai in November. Staying in Shanghai for a few days. Then we shall fly from Shanghai to Beijing. How much can I expect to pay for the airfares? Thanks.
Oct. 20,2009 04:10 Ms.Jane Meng replied:
I suggest that you fly from Shenzhen to Shanghai since it is a domestic airline which is much cheaper than the international airline from Hong Kong to Shanghai. And, because it is far to your time schedule, the discount air tickets are not available. The full airfare of Shenzhen/Shanghai=￥1450,Shanghai/Beijing=￥1180

Oct. 18,2009 19:46 Mr.Henry replied:
The most economical way should be like this: HongKong-Guangzhou-Changan-Guangzhou-Hangzhou-Beijing. From HongKong to Guangzhou, you can take the railway which is the most convienent and cheapest way. From Guangzhou to Changan, you can take the bus which maybe the only way. Then you will take flight from Guangzhou to Hangzhou to Beijing. Any other info you need?
