What did you think of the holiday? Currently contemplating traveling over end of next year. Really into sight seeing, shopping and being able to change cities/towns every 2/3 days. How's the costs also? Cheers.
@E46pwa The plane ticket KLM cost €979, the total cost (for me) of the holiday was €2900 aprox, that includes the plane ticket. I did no shopping.--- But if i won Lotto i would buy everything in china there are amazing bargains here. They offer to ship big items to your country. --- The Marriot hotel was €90 a night, in my country that is €900 for that quality. --- The train tickets for a 24 hour trip was €50 and that includes your bed.--- we bought our great wall & warrior tickets on the
@H1P2S street, it is cheaper than buying at home or at the hotel that would charge €90, yet the man on street would charge €30 for 5. --- i was in china for 18 days. --- now is the time to go, the chinese are expecting foreign tourist in the future, they are building Disney type stalls, so it will be very touristy in years to come. ---the government really control things, the people are under control, but this is very very good, i wish all countries ran things like this for example
@H1P2S don't be surprised if the van bringing you to see the great wall (for example) has blackened windows & has a rope and hatchet in the back lying on the ground -- in my country this means you will end up in the river, dead. But the chinese are innocent and very trust worthy, very very nice people. I reckon if i was tighter with my money the whole thing could have cost me €2000 for 18 days (that includes the plane). my friend that lives in spain booked the train tickets in EL Corte Ingles.

@H1P2S Sorry for the late reply. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. Safety was a concern I had but you have cleared things up for me.
Cheers,
