Yellow mountain is located in Anhui province in southeast China, not very far from Shanghai. I suggest you take overnight train from Shanghai to Huangshan city, then climb the mountain which is about one hours' drive from the city. Notice that Ynagtze river cruise is different from the Li River Cruise. It starts from Chongqing and you can choose end in Yicchang or Wuhan. Bus travel along the silk road is toilsome, but not so dangerous. Many roads are just desert or the like. While if you can not speak Chinese, traveling in west China may be difficult due to the communication problems. English are not so diffusive there. So guide is necessary. |

Guided tour is somewhat expensive, so I suggest in those big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guilin, no need to book tours. While if traveling to some less developed places, guided tours may avoid many inconvenience, especially the silk road. |

If you really want to seek beautiful scenery of China, I think the Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong vally in north Sichuan province can never be missed. Both of them have gotten the fame for their magic landscapes. You can browse the webs for the detailed information, maybe you will revise your itinerary later.http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/sichuan/jiuzhaigou/page1.htmhttp://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/sichuan/chengdu/yellowdragon.htm |
