beijing travel advice
chrisdaydesign asked:


Hey everyone. Could do with some advice.. I have currently been travelling through S.E Asia and wondered if anyone could offer advice regarding China?
I am thinking of heading north west after Vietnam, although I have very little money meaning I will have to go into my overdraft!! I am thinking of going to Yunnan province and then up to Tiger Leap gorge. It has always been a dream to see the Himalayas which Is why I really wish to do it.

Is it possible to work my way through Yunnan, then to Tibet, Beijing, Shanghai and end up at Hong Kong?

How much? and how long?

Any other advice would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Gilbert

    tight on buget and no knowledge of chinese language, NO
    I.m strongly not recommend.not even a chinese dared to travelling a long journey on his own country.
    ( work your way through). don.t existing in china. you need a
    work permit and you,re mend to be spending ,not earning….
