10/15 I am planning on visiting Guandong, Shanghai, Beijin, etc. this coming
year. Generally speaking, what time of the year would be best to visit
these places? If I want to do more than take a kodak in each city, how
many cities should I visit in about 2 weeks? And, is it better/safer
for a single guy to travel alone, with a guy buddy, his gf, or his
regular female friend travel with him? Lastly, what are some good
words to search for besides "china", "guandong", "shanghai", "beijin",
"travel", "tour", ... Thanks.
\_ best time is actually *NOW*, right after their national holiday
vacation (which span seven days) on October 1st. before
the weather turned cold. One problem with
China is that it has too many people. I personally find it
difficult to enjoy scenary, no matter how beatiful it is,
when there are couple thousands of other guys doing the exact
same thing at the same time. China in general are pretty
safe. For starter, stick with may be 3 cities. Beijing,
Xi'An, and may be Shanghai (especially the nearby city like
Suzhou). If you hever been in China before
3-4 cities is a good start for a 2 week period.
\_ Safe in general, true, but when it comes to your belongings
you should be very watchful. There are known to be some
pickpockets in the bigger cities. Oh, and try to take
a boat ride along the river in Guilin.
\_ What are you saying? It's the worker's paradise! Racist!
\_ The best travel time is just before the Japanese show up to gang
bang the entire staff at the local hotels. You don't want seconds.
\_ Those women weren't hotel staff. They were brought in.
\_ Can I still visit if I don't know how to speak Chinese?
\_ Don't worry, they'll assign a minder to you. They'll always be
one block behind.
\_ Not in Shanghai. The authorities will simply assume that
every pimp and nightclub owner will report on you anyway. |
