A Vacation in the Middle Kingdom

Welcome to China fellow traveler!
Quite a good pick for a travel destination if I do say so myself.
China as we all know is the largest country in Asia, and being that large means it's also diverse in culture which makes it a very interesting place to be in.

Gotta admit, you don't usually hear about your peers planning to travel to China as their destination picks would probably just be in Hong Kong or Taiwan.
Probably because of how the media portrays China or how difficult it is to be in if you don't speak Mandarin. But doesn't it pique your curiosity? I bet you're dying to know what it's like in China through firsthand experience. Why don't we ponder about that for a bit?

Okay, first things first...
China being vast as it is offers a whole lot of places to see, not sure where to start?
I'd recommend seeing either Beijing or Shanghai first as those cities are the most popular places where people usually visit.
Beijing or Shanghai?
Now we got it narrowed down but where would you rather stay?
Beijing offers a diverse experience with its mix of ancient and modern architecture but it's more of Mandarin when it comes to talking so I'd recommend hiring a travel guide to go along with you.

While Shanghai is a city that leans over to the luxurious side of things, you could expect more English speakers there and you'll find a mixture of people there that came from other countries like France, Russia or even the US, and I'm saying lots so I think you would find it convenient.
What kind of vacation are you planning? It's yours to decide and it's all a matter of choice.

Duration of Stay?
Good, you've already picked a place by now, but of course you also need a place to stay in
Let's say you're only visiting for 2-3 days, you're probably better off finding a hotel.
But if you're staying for a week or so, I'd recommend booking for a vacation rental, that way you could have more flexibility when you wanna experience the place like a local would.
But how do you book for one?
Probably you're typing "vacation rentals in China" in google right about now, so let's give you a few sites to help you with that, and believe me, these will come in handy.
