Planning a Trip to China? You Need a Map.

Tuesday September 12, 2006
There is no shame in looking at a map to figure out where you are or where you're going. And when it comes to China, the fourth largest country in the world, there's a lot of ground to cover. You may not realize that it takes twelve hours to take a train from Beijing to Shanghai. And just where, exactly, is Shanghai, anyway?

View political and physical maps, get the lay of the land and start planning your itinerary.

For anyine planning their trip in China I would advise them to give Nanjing a miss. It may be one of the oldest cities in China but only a masochist would enjoy the rudeness and plain nastiness of the Nanjing people. It also the filthiest city I have ever seen in China.
