My blog about traveling to China

We’re trying to decide between two trips, but know nothing about China.

Trip 1: 23-Day Tour of Beijing - Xian - Lhasa - Tsetang - Lhasa - Shangri-La - Lijiang - Kunming - Chongqing - Yangtze River - Wuhan - Shanghai

Trip 2: 19-Day Tour of Shanghai - Suzhou - Shanghai - Yichang - Yangtze River Cruise - Chongqing - Guilin - Yangshuo - Guilin - Xian - Lhasa - Beijing

We will most likely be going from december 3rd, until whenever the tour is done. The descriptions sound great for both, and the temperatures seem acceptable to us, from their estimates.

Can you give any advice as to why we should choose one trip over the other? Considering that it is in December, and we would like to see both museums/cities as well as small towns and regular life.

Thank you, I would greatly appreciate any advice!
