    Tip: Get out of Hong Kong as soon as possible. In my opinion it is just another uninteresting big city. And a terrible one at that. European almost, with all the people in a hurry and trying to maintain their imagos.

    As for China, besides the obvious things like the Forbidden City, the Wall and the Terracotta Army I liked WutaiShan and Pingyao, although a bit touristy. And the surroundings of Guilin are very beautiful. As for cities, I found Kunming surprisingly pleasant.

    Do not visit an art exhibition organised by students who approach you on the street.

    Bird_Migration did you travel all around Yunnan? What was it like? It's one place that interests me.

    When I worked in Flu-shing, NY, the Taiwanese there were rough on the Fujanese.
