Wow! China is a huge country le,,, These 3 places offer different sights, sounds and food ( hee2)…
1. Xi an and/or Chengdu ( this is doable via train) Xian can b boring if u aren’t a history buff… but if going to Chengdu, do try juzhaigou! It’s not far fr CD. Me going there soon..
2) Guilin and Guangxi/GuangZhou area ( scenery , gZ great good food!) I hv been to GZ but not the other 2. Heard Guilin is hilly unlike our Singapore bukit batok @jojoas?
or 3) Shanghai Nanjing Suzhou. This is a good itinerary! Suzhou is beautiful ancient city.. If I were to go again, I wd go SH- Suzhou and Hangzhou?…. Food is fantastic!
I love spicy food and ok to try all sort of different flavors.
Xi An is one of those places like beijing for me. Go there to punch card. Hahah. Im a little curious. But im not a history buff. I read the main attractions are the terracotta warriors and the city wall? CD i didnt find much.
JiuZhaiGou really? Ok i go research more how to get there! The travel sites are all introducing very beautiful mountains and scenery. Do u mean take a train from xian to chengdu? I was looking at flights and i cant seem to do a long stop over on the way down from jilin. Got to buy a separate ticket.
I came across a travel site which actually says not to go guangzhou cos theres nothing to see. Where in GZ did u think was worth visiting? (Im cantonese so a bit wanna go there.)
Actually i have never gone to xiao guilin at bt batok. Hahahah..
Shanghai SZ and NJ areas i have been. I stayed a month in Suzhou for work many years back. Yeah there are many gardens there and i really like the water town. The cities are all relatively closer so i hope to save time on travelling. Are there more family friendly attractions there instead of scenery and gardens? My impression of that place is outdated already but overall quite nice! I remember their fish dishes are FULL of bones cos they are freshwater. *choke*
