Hi Kirti, all the hotel & Things to do recommendations were very useful and we have booked our hotels in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. A couple more questions:
1. Please suggest a travel insurance that we should take for the trip. Mine would be covered by my company so need it only for Prateek. Something which has reasonable medical cover for 2 weeks (I have heard healthcare is very expensive... ...read more
Welcome back and great to hear you are almost set for China! I am going to do my best to help you out for travel insurance for your husband, prepaid mobile phone options and lastly Must-Dos for Shanghai for the dates that you have mentioned.
Travel Insurance
I checked online for travel insurance covers and found a website which collates the information. I haven't inputted finer details of the policies but do click on the links and that should give you comprehensive information on what the policy offers. All of these are Asia-centric... read more

In Beijing I am likely to be at the Unis Centre hotel: http://www.ieee-iwqos.org/hotel.html . Would like transit info to BaDaLing & back from here. Also we are planning to book our flight tickets to arrive in Beijing on Jun 12 (Saturday) evening and heading out to Shanghai by the overnight train on Jun 19. Given that BaDaLing will take a day - we have the option of doing it on Jun 13 (Sunday) or... ...read more

Badaling - Dates, Transit routes and other information
First I am going to deal with Badaling and how you are going to get there from your hotel and which date might conceivably work better for you. As someone who travels, I would assume that when you come to Beijing on June 12th, you would want to sample the city before you hike your way to Badaling... read more

I am traveling to China for work around Jun 12 and will spend the first week (Mon-Fri) in Beijing. Days will be busy but will have time to look around in the evenings and then plan to take one week off to travel around China. What do you recommend? My husband is accompanying me on the trip. One of the options we thought of is Shanghai because of the expo that's going on at the time, but also... ...read more

I have always yearned to go to China. To me it feels like a very complex country- full of contradictions - the traditional with the modern and its version of capitalism communism never ceases to amaze me. I have friends who have lived in China for years and still can't get over the country and what it can offer if you strike the right note there.
I am going to help you experience the exquisite highs of China (and try very hard not to give you any lows). I will be recommending places in Beijing to visit... read more
