I really wanna go to Tibet this month but I have to find a group of people who also travel to Tibet this month! If I have to go alone then I will pay about 10000 RMB and thats's impossible for me!




About to go to China...
hi there. we are a british couple and we are currently in Mongolia and about to cross into China, visa permitting!
We would like to explore rural china and have heard that the Yunnan province is fantastic for hiking and camping. is this true?
we would be interested in joining any rural community projects if they exist. any help or advice gratefully received.
Also, we would like to visit the Great Wall - and would like to go to a part that is not so touristy but still beautiful...
thanks!

Hello,everyone.
The first thing that I have to let everyone know is I'm a Chinese. But China is a pretty huge place where have a lot of resorts I'm not familiar with, so I'm very curious about China, too. But again, as a Chinese, I also have some advantage to get various information of China, hopefully everyone who need help can get help from me.

Hi whisperedcall:
I'm a Chinese. Actually, China is a big country, and the weather is Very cold at the end of December to the beginning of January in almost places in China.
You are going to visit Guangxi Sichuan and Zhejiang provinces, those provinces are relative big. in Guangxi Province, the City of Guilin is the most beautiful City, there are the most natural view in china, so you should spend at least 2 days to travel the LI Jiang and Yang shuo in Guilin. and the City of Beihai is coastal city where is also a good place to visit, but may be the time is not right. City of Liuzhou is also a good places to see. So In Guangxi you'd better to spend 3-4 days.
Sichuan province is a very popular traveling place, because there are many historic sites and deliciouse food, but the food in there is almost spicy.

I'm visiting China for about four weeks from the end of December to the beginning of January.
Areas that I want to visit are Hong Kong, Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
Iv'e worked it out that I can spend 3 days in each place and have a day for travelling between each.
Does anyone know if this is plausible, what would be the best route to go from each and what places could I visit in each province in 3 days? I'd like a mixture of landscape, history and culture.
I'm a single lady visiting China for the first time so any advice will be greatly appreciated :)

tashirinpoche You can Travel to the regions of Tibet outside the TAR do not require you to have any permits in most cases. There are a few counties in Golok and Ngawa Prefectures that require foreigners to get a permit from the police, but that's about it. You can travel independently through these prefectures (found in Qinghai, western Sichuan, southwest Gansu and northwest Yunnan provinces) using public transportation. These regions are actually a better place to see authentic Tibetan culture without as much Chinese influence. Many regions in these areas are home to nomad Tibetans who spend their lives on the grasslands herding yaks and sheep. These areas of Tibet are just as much Tibet as the TAR...and maybe even more so. Many past and present Tibetan leaders, including the current 14th Dalai Lama, were born in these areas. Tibetan culture is much more intact here than most regions of the TAR, though few foreigners travel to these areas. Many people are not aware that these places are also Tibet.
Have good trip
