One of the most striking things observed in this enormous airport was how huge and long it was. It felt like we landed at a gate that was at the other end of the Chinese wall.

I didn't take the train from Shanghai (with the exception of the Transrapid (maglev)) but I did travel from Xi'an to Beijing by train. It's been a great experience. First class is very, very comfortable (and cheap for us). Those beds are pretty long, soft and warm.

Well what can I say about Beijing, other than the fact I hated it!!!! People pee everywhere, they have no respect for anybody or anything!

Hey,
My 2 cents worth is to take the bus from HK to Guangzhou ( its 1.5 hrs and departs from HK more than 4 times a day). From Guangzhou, there is a train that goes to Hanoi.... this will take about a day or so cause of the stopping plus the train is mega slow.
