I'm thinking of going on holiday to China in 2006 with some friends for 2 weeks.
Hopefully I'll be able to locate some relatives (we haven't heard anything from them since the revolution)

Any suggestions regarding what to see and do in 2 weeks ?

Thanks in advance

I HAVE to visit shanghai because that's where relatives disappeared

but not sure what else to pack into 2 weeks. maybe where Zhuge Liang
was born ? check out some Taoist sites. Basically see the best of Ancient
and New China.

no.
What makes you think i'm from taiwan ?
My cousin's lived in China before the revolution, married chinese women.
They disappeared along with their families after the revolution probably
because they were business people.

ShenZhen is a nice city to go, it has very nice lights for the night and nice roads. if you go there, don't forget to go to the DiWang building, i think it's the 6th tallest building in Asia. also go to Window of the World, it's basically the world in a much smaller scale, you can see all the famous architectures there.

DiWang is recommanded to go in the evening because you can see all the lights and stuff, the window of the world would take you the whole day if you want to get the most out of it, there're dances from around the world being performed outside(i think) window of the world at night.

also, tryout the new subway system in shenzhen, it's so cool and new.

good luck on finding the relatives. People in China are able to move around and more difficult to track people now. Back in the old days, the restriction of movement and lack of financial resources made much easier to track people.

Why do you join the tour group for 1 week of Beijing? 15 people to one guide and everything is included, fares, admisions to sites, hotel, meals, and a dedicated driver. Great Wall, Summer Palace, Forbiden City, Ming burial......much more for very very reasonable amount (I mean very reasonable).

from east to west, from south to north, every provinces has there different feature. i only away form home 3 years, it was changing too fast. how long have you been away from china?
my advise from shanghai go up to beijing,then go down xian, three gorges dam, then go down to guangzhou, shenzhen and hongkong, then back to shanghai. then shanghai-nanjing, suzhou,hangzhou,(short distance). two weeks is too short for travelling in china, just choose these places you never been to. :eek:

My suggestion is that you start from Shanghai and sail down the Yangze river. Then, once you reach ChongQing go up to Xian and then to Beijing:china:

i am sorry, so....you sound like...you are not chinese basicly....so what are you? korean? japanese? if you are not chinese, and you hold a say....US passport or canadain, just go to the embassy and say your relatives lost in china, and you are looking for them, so you seek help with chinese government. ia m sure they will be very happy to help you out since you are not chinese. and if you want to visit china. i suggest you just go to beijing for chinese history of past 100-200 years, go to xi an for history of past 1000-2000 years, go to shanghai for modern china, guangzhou and shenzhen are....you nkow...they just...cities...nothing really to see there.
