Shanghai

I had a friend staying in Shanghai. So things were pretty easy for me.
Metro was very conventient though he stayed far from main station and I had to change subway.
People's Square metro station is like a central station where you can change subway from one line to another and also accessible to the downtown and other hot spots in shanghai.
I went to E Nanjing Road in the afternoon. It is similar to Times Square, with many shops, signboards, lots of people shopping around. There were 6 Mc Donalds on this one road.
Walking to the end of Nanjing Road you come to the river / bund area which gives a nice view of the Skyline and the downtown.
The other side of the river has the oriental tower. The view from the top is very beautiful. The entry prices are high (200 rmb) to go up.
XujiaHui is the technical market back in the city which has a lot of shops selling Electronics, DVD players, TVs, Cameras etc and you can bargain the price. Theres a Pizza Hut nearby.

Cheap hotels in Dali

Yeah well especially during spring festival it can be a little hard to find really cheap accommadation. And I'm talking cheap, not the 100-150 yuan accommadation that most farangs go for. The place that I found is really close to the old town and quite clean and comfortable. It consists of 2 single beds and a TV, but hey how many travellers can understand Chinese, especially on the idiot box! The only downfall I can tell you is that the toilet is VERY Chinese and there are no showers, but if you are only spending a couple of nights a shower won't matter too much ( my girlfriend and I rode through Thailand to Malaysia and hardly had any showers!) .This place is only 60 yuan a night. Also if you don't want to pay for a cable car ticket, just walk up the mountain. You can get to the cloud road path just by walking through the cemetery which is behind the University looking building still under construction. The cemetery is about a 15 min walk from the old town. Be aware the track could be very diffcult for people with any physical problems ( heart problems, asthmatics etc...) If you want to catch a cheap cable car, go to a booking agent called "Micheals". He is located about a 5 min walk from the Youth Hostelling and charges 60 yuan for a return trip, better than the 82 that everyone else sells.Shanghai Beijing toursXian toursYunnan toursChina Gulin tours Yunnan Lijiang toursChina Suzhou toursYangtze River Cruise toursWuzhen tours

an amazing city i have ever been

have been to Xi'an twice. the first time is to see the famous Emperor Qin's Terra-cotta warriors and horses, the second time is to climb Huashan. it is really stunning for Chinese ancints to make those terra-cotta warriors and horses with very low productivity. every warrior is different. every warrior's dressing is different. it is said the craftmen made the warriors according to their own looking. so every warrior is different. just image such a big undergroud military group is just a small part of Emperor Qin's mausoleum! according to the ancient history book, in order to build the mausoleum, three layers of underground water had been through, and flowing mercury forms the shape of Chinese big rivers, seas. so many things to tell.........

mountain resort and temples

4 hours by train from Beijing to see MORE imperial sights? After Forbidden City Summer Palace the Great Wall etc. honestly the 90RMB entrace for foreigners isn't necessary on your itinerary. But if you want out of the city heat the temples aound the mountain resort are varied and impressive. Entrance fees between 20 and 60RMB. They certainly were alive with Buddhist pilgrims, Llamas,and endless vendors. Weekday departures are quiet on the train. Sunday return was packed. The downhill route was also much more remote (saw some HWY building) Chengde makes a nice not essential side trip from Beijing. Especially if not seeing Tibet (Potala Palace likeness!) 1overnight plenty of time.
