[quote=Anonymous]I did a 10 day tour in China last year; my DC was on a semester abroad there. I'm surprised at the people suggesting to skip Shanghai - I thought it was an amazing city and so much more interesting in its own right than Beijing. Someone compared these to Washington and NYC - Beijing is a must-see for all the monuments and historical sites but Shanghai is much more vibrant - a mix of old and new, tons of culture (museums, restaurants, etc). Like several PPs, I would suggest skipping Shenzhen and adding Hangzhou and/or Suzhou. Hangzhou is incredibly picturesque and historic, my DC's photos of Suzhou are similarly amazing. Both are an easy bullet train from Shanghai and if you're interested in tech, Hangzhou is the home of the Six Little Dragons. We didn't have enough time to do Xian or Chengdu - hoping to go on a future trip! One friendly tip: consider taking a burner phone if you want to avoid Chinese spyware.[/quote]
