Bus 120 -- Use to get from the Chaotianman Square (near the bus station) to the train station. (Y1.05) its a little confusing since the bus doesn't stop in front of the train station, but within walki...

Just to let you know, cabs in Shanghai charge different rates depending on the time of day. Something like after 7 pm they are more expensive. The subway is a really cheap and easy way to get around.

The new terminal 3 at Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) is brand new and very spacious, but that's also one of its disadvantages. After the airplane lands, it takes a long time, sometimes 10-15 minutes for it to taxi to somewhere, which may not be the gate! But far out on the tarmac in a ...

Guilin is the place you have to hit if you find yourself in China. Do not stop there though, Yangshuo (said Yang-shwor) is the place to be.

I heard Shenzen might be better, should have gone there. The city is right on the pearl river, which was beautiful at times. The water looked quite bad, but over all the pollution was unbearable. You drove in crappy taxis through pollution you could see. Smog and who knows what else you breath. The ...
