Where to go!

Hello!

My wife and I have gone to THailand for the last 4 years...We now want to try China but have no clue!

WHat we loved about THailand was shopping and the beaches...

Where do we go In China for SHopping asnd relaxing?

SOme reviews advise Hong Kong others say Beijing!

Please help us!

Where to go!

If you like beaches, stay in Thailand. For shopping,yes Hong Kong is good, but not as cheap as Thailand. Places such as Beijing and Xi%26#39;an have the history - a little like Ayuthha in Thailand if you have been there. Shanghai would be the city to visit to see the new China (although it does have the old as well). China also has some good countryside - Yangshuo and Yunnan which are good for relaxing.

Where to go!

Shopping and relaxing?

What are you shopping for? Window-shopping or really buying stuff?

Relaxing not really that easy to do in China... especially when you%26#39;re not used to the crowds here. Do you have a daily budget to keep to?

When are you planning to visit? How long do you have in China?

Hello!

SO sounds like Thailands has the edge!

Misc buying....local good /. electronics etc??

No budget in mind! THe nicer the better...

Wamted to travel to a nice beack then to a good place to shop?

You will find Thailand a more relaxing and easier holiday.

China will leave you with more memories, although in the short term these might not be happy, but when you are older you will laugh at them.

So, do you want to repeat the same happy experiences, or try to get some new ones (which might or might not be the sweetest at least in the short run)?

Hello Again

We have done Thailand for the last 4 years. THe last one being when we got married on the 1st of Jan. Thailand Offers very busy yet also very relaxing.

We would like to try China but as I advised im not sure where to go.

We want to experience the shops as well as the relaxing.

Im sure it cannot be any busier than Bangkok?

Bangkok is a great place!

Beaches aren%26#39;t a highlight for China, better to stick with the ones in Thailand since you%26#39;re happy with those.

For general relaxation I would suggest that you try Yangshuo (http://www.yangers.com), Xiamen (http://www.amoymagic.com.cn), Lijiang or Qingdao.

Sorry, missed out Hangzhou from the list. That has to be one of my favourite destinations in China.
