Question by : Will be going to China and take the new train to Tibet this June, please?
answer if you have done this trip or what you thought of it info etc. We are going to Guangzhou to Xining then take the train to Lhasa and spend about a week in Tibet. After we are going to Congquing and take a four day cruise up the Yangtze river. Any tips or experiences would be appreciated. I have been to China a couple times but not this trip. Thank you.

Answer by Love Shepherd
You are taking a trip that is often done by Western tourists and a fantastic trip over all. If you have traveled to China, you know the pitfalls, but you shouldn’t have any trouble. I did the trip down the Yangtze and it is beautiful. I thought the dam would have messed it up.

Answer by craftylass
China’s government provides heat to the country based on the Yangtze River . . . if you are north of the river, you receive heat and if you are south of the river, you do not! It’s not based on actual temperature, but on mere location.

Loosely phrased, the country is split into “northern” and “southern” China.

This has an interesting slide show on China and includes references to books, etc. It uses the terminology “north and south China” in reference to the Yangtze River.

Good luck!

Q&A: Tours in China?

July 29, 2011 / / 3 Comments

Question by hhh h: Tours in China?
Are there any relatively inexpensive tours that take you to Beijing and include at least a Yangtze River cruise or Hong Kong? Please let me know of some…

Best answer:

Answer by Aidant
STA Travel does some great tours. If you’re 26 or under (especially a student) then you could really benefit from their discounts. I was originally going to go on one of them, then my circumstances changed and I spent 5 weeks in Beijing. Hope that helps!

Question by Adina: can I enter in China with my Bahamas seaman book to embark on a cruise boat as a crew or I need a visa?
do they give you this transit visa in the airport or you still need to go to the embassy and do all the procedures?

Best answer:

Answer by Seeanna
Travel and travel security have changed so much over the years so if you have intentions to travel anywhere in the World, including the Bahamas, I suggest that you have an up to date Passport, and a Visa.

Have you traveled through China? Can you advise? Trying to decide between two trips…?

July 23, 2011 / / 5 Comments

Question by DutchGirlinOregon: Have you traveled through China? Can you advise? Trying to decide between two trips…?
We’re trying to decide between two trips, but know nothing about China.

Trip 1: 23-Day Tour of Beijing – Xian – Lhasa – Tsetang – Lhasa – Shangri-La – Lijiang – Kunming – Chongqing – Yangtze River – Wuhan – Shanghai
http://www.travelchinaguide.com/tour/tibet/tour-509.htm

Trip 2: 19-Day Tour of Shanghai – Suzhou – Shanghai – Yichang – Yangtze River Cruise – Chongqing – Guilin – Yangshuo – Guilin – Xian – Lhasa – Beijing
http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cruise/victoria/tour-v410.htm

We will most likely be going from december 3rd, until whenever the tour is done. The descriptions sound great for both, and the temperatures seem acceptable to us, from their estimates.

Can you give any advice as to why we should choose one trip over the other? Considering that it is in December, and we would like to see both museums/cities as well as small towns and regular life.

Thank you, I would greatly appreciate any advice!

Answer by sellatieeat
I personally don’t know why you want to go to china. its really disgusting there. the people aren’t educated. They spit everywhere and are really rude.
But.. since you seem really excited you should probvably go to shanghai.. the people there are more educated than most of the other parts of china.

Touring china?

July 22, 2011 / / 7 Comments

Question by Andy: Touring china?
OK, im 18 but 19 next year and I’m planning before university to go traveling (once again) with my mate.

I love Chinese culture so a trip to china seemed perfect… looking through brochures and various websites I found that a tour would be the best to take it all in rather than being stuck in one place.
HOWEVER big problemo is that tours = middle aged persons and pensioners and the last thing i want is to be ferried around in a convoy of tourists; I want to explore china myself!

Does anyone know of any good UK (or foreign) tour operators that can give you this freedom but at a reasonable price. We are looking at traveling from the major cities such as HK, Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, etc and include the Yangtze river cruise. We do have a budget of about £2k

Thanks in advance.

Answer by Matthew B
your going to have a tough time finding one. the problem is china law on tour groups, they have specific laws restricing tourists. They still maintain a sense of isolationism.
