Question
Hello, Just wandering if you can help me. I am going to China for a month at the end of June and was just wandering if the weather is going to be a problem? I also have no idea about the best way to travel around, I want to make sure i visit all of the best places and I don't want to miss out. I was thinking of trying to fit in Tibet and Hong Kong as well. Where do I go to first and in what order. It's such a massive country!!! Also how much do you reckon it will cost, I am happy to stay in fairly cheap hostels and I only buy the essential when I am backpacking. Would be great if you could give me some advice!! Thank you :)

Answer
Hello Lydia,

I have lots of information to help with your trip but I am going to be away this weekend and won't be back in front of my computer until next Tuesday. I hope you don't mind waiting until then!?

Youre right though, China IS a massive country and to dart from Hong Kong to mainland China and then also over to Tibet will be tiring, but then again a wonderful experience and you will definitely see many different sites and experience different cultures...

I'll get back to you very soon!

Victoria.
