So I'm going to China in 6 days and I was wondering if anyone had ever been to China, or was from there. I'd like to have some tips, or whatever, to make my whole trip a little smoother.
Is there anything I should pack that I might desperately need? Is there anything I might need to remember, culturally wise (taboos to thank yous)? Is there a phrase I should learn quickly? You know where I'm going with this.  I'm going to/on: . SHANGHAI . YICHANG . THREE GORGES DAM SITE . SHENNONG STREAM or DANING RIVER . WANXIAN / SHIBAOZHAI / FENGDU . XI'AN . BEIJING I dunno if that helps with the tip giving, but it won't hurt :D ....Oh, and any items of clothing I should have? I'm from Florida, so cold to me is 70s. I already went to a bunch of travel sites and whatever, but I trust you guys with your insider views :D |

hm what else, let's see...if you are going to be in a taxi, do your best to keep track of where you are going and where you've been. taxi drivers tend to drive around in circles to increase the price..
OH OH OH and since I know you're a photographer.. Photography of military or government buildings may result in a penalty. You should seek permission from local authorities before taking photographs. LOL, be careful. |
