Hello, Help! I am a lone lady travel and do not speak Chinese arriving Oct 5 2220hrs Xiaoshan. I was intending to head for a day in Shanghai before leaving for Beijing sometime the following evening. I am interested in the scenic side of China rather than glitz of a big city.
Would I be better to stay in Hangzou? Assuming the answer is yes, any suggestions on where to stay which is clean not too expensive, how to get there and what highlights I should not miss would be greatly appreciated.
To get the most from the day then travel to Beijing Would you fly or train? I don't know how long train would take.
