This is an interesting article from the NYT. Check it out, if you are interested in China and especially if you are planning to visit.
Tips for Visiting Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai – NYTimes.com.
We are spending a month in China in October 2012 and looking forward to the cultural challenges.
Hi there, I just wanted to say thanks for providing the link to the article. It is really informative and after reading it I’m very much prepared to take on a trip to China for the first time.
A fairly well composed introduction to China for those on their way, the article definitely offers coverage of things known and less known in China’s major destinations. Depending on your time frame however, I would certainly suggest you spend more time in Beijing and try your hand at unlocking more hidden gems, as there are many scattered among the hutongs of Dongcheng district.
Michael, many thanks for sharing your experience
