Need advice-where to go from Beijing and Hangzhou

Dear Everybody,

I need your advice from all of you. This is my first trip to China.

After visiting some companies in Beijing, I have free time from 15 - 18 April 2007 and I want to be in Hangzhou on 19 April.

Please give your advice or recommendation, where I should visit during my free time. I prefer to visit a nice place or city located between Beijing and Hangzhou, but I will consider every good advices from you.

Would appreciate your reply. Thank you.

Regards,

Picar

Ok. Now I am waiting for your reply.

Thank you Ian316. I will consider your advice.

What about Xi%26#39;an, I heard it is a worht visit as there is a specific tera-cota museum. What do you say.

I would stay in Beijing for 3 days and then plan to get to Hangzhou a day early.

Xi%26#39;an and Guilin are quite far away, though if you really want to go to Xi%26#39;an, you could take an overnight train or fly there, see the Terracotta Warriors, and then head back to Beijing or fly direct to Hangzhou.

There%26#39;s not really some place to go between Beijing and Hangzhou, but you could go to Shanghai.

You could probably fly Beijing -- Huangshan on 14/4 and then bus Huangshan -- Hangzhou on 18/4.

And no, Guilin is most definitely not between Beijing and Hangzhou, geographically.

Huangshan is an excellent choIce before coming to Hangzhou.

Just because Shanghai is big, it shouldn%26#39;t be overlooked. It%26#39;s a very indicative place.
