Answer 2

Ten days is a very short amount of time to visit China. There's so much to do and see that ten days is just not enough. Hong Kong is a good place to start. It's a bustling and fast pace city. Must-see sites include the Big Buddha over on Lantou Island, Victoria Peak, which has an incredible aerial view of the city (especially at night), and Victoria Harbour. Be sure to take a ferry ride in the harbour to enjoy the panaramic views. Also the dim sum is heavenly. If you do get a chance to leave the city, go to Shanghai, by either plane ($400 roundtrip) or train ($200 roundtrip). Even though it's slower, about 13 hours, the train is much more comfortable because it's an air-conditioned sleeper train, plus you get to meet new people. 13 hours isn't that bad because it's mainly during the night, you go to sleep and the next day your there at your destination. It's a great way to catch up on the rest. In Shanghai, you can go to Nanjing Road, a shopping haven full of department stores, Yuyuan Garden, a little less commercial where you can get unique Chinese goods. The Bund, a stretch of road next to the river lined with European style buildings. There you get a great view of neighboring Pudong, home to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. It's just a 5-minute subway ride away and you can go up into the observatories and see all of Shanghai from above.

Answer 3

instead of travelling alone, get someone to be with you so you wont get bore. or find, meet someone while you travel, create a circle of friends in china, so everytime you go back & forth you have this excitement to be back again in the place.
