Sichuan is nice. Good food, pretty girls, better/cleaner baijiu, nice teas; yeah, beats the hell out of here.

Yes, I think it tells you that there are a lot of smart-assed people posting on this board, and nothiing more than that.

If the departures lounge is so appealing to these people, they should use it and thus help the rest of us to stop wasting our time reading idiotic comments that help no one.

Good places depend on one's taste but Shanghai, Nanjing, Chengdu, Kunming, Hong Kong, Zhu Hai, are well thought of generally. There are many others, too many to discuss in detail. You might be better to begin in a larger city and get to know the country a bit before you decide. I chose Shanghai and for me it was the best decision, but others will feel differently.......

I enjoyed Yangshou. Leshan Da Fu wasn't bad either. I liked my cruise down the Yangzte the best, though.

I'm looking forward to hitting Yunnan next. After that, I'd love to see Tibet and the Terracotta Warriors in Xian. Beyond that, I don't care.

Of course its different strokes for different folk - but just traveling on the well worn China tourist trail - at least for me - can be a bit of a drudgery. Crowds, high admission prices, hawkers and all that shirt pulling and ear tugging in those attempts to make me spend, spend, spend.

For me - to make China a worth while destination and one where I can relax from that which at times drives me near insane (mainly the pollution, noise and crowds) - I have to have sanctuaries where I can just chill out. And there is an alternative China - one that's green, clean and quiet. However to find these places you need to be able to travel - and to travel costs money!!! So make sure - if you want to mix working in China with some decent travel - that you bargain the best wage - other wise your China adventure may be condensed into just a few quick snaps at yet another bustling tourist site!!!!
