I am arriving in Beijing on June 12 and depart on July 2nd. I would like to visit Datong, Ping Yao, Shen Yang and perhaps Chengde. I dont know who to book these trips with or how long it takes to travel there from Beijing. I would like to catch the train to Shanghai and go to Expo for 2 days and then take a tour Lijiang and back to Beijing to depart July 2nd. I cant get a picture of which is the best way to get to Lijiang. From Beijing or Shanghai? Please can you suggest a time table and a tour opporator? Thank you. All help is appreciated as I have not been to China before.
