Tea and China in Early Spring 2008 - Help!
Hello, all!
We are planning a China trip in March/April of next year and need to do it as inexpensively as possible. We want to go to tea growing regions, especially Fujian, LongJing area, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Yunnan. We are planning on flying from Los Angeles to Hong Kong or Bejing and using a great deal of trains. We have about 16 days. We need tea help, hotel suggestions, cheap air travel suggestions and anything else anyone can share. All information is most appreciated! Shen |

Going thru HK will add significantly to your expenses. Buy your interior flight tickets when you get to China. |

We need tea help, hotel suggestions, cheap air travel suggestions Korean Air and the Taiwanese EVA Air can have very good deals if you don't mind (or want) a stopover in their respective capitals. (EVA flies to Hong Kong and Macau, but not to mainland China) Don't buy them from the airlines themselves unless they have a special sale - look in the LA Times Sunday travel section for an Asia-focused travel agent. You might want an "open-jaw ticket", which would let you arrive in Beijing and depart from Hong Kong - that would save you a lot of time. How many tea growing regions do you plan to see in 16 days? That's not a lot of time at all, especially considering the time involved in going from place to place by train, and if you try to see a lot of different tea plantations all over China you would have no time to see anything else - make sure that's really what you want - instead of say, seeing one tea plantation in depth and then exploring the many other things and places in China. Seeing just Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Hong Kong/Macau, and one tea plantation would be a very busy 16 days, especially if you plan on taking trains. |

We need tea help, hotel suggestions, cheap air travel suggestions and anything else anyone can share. 16 days is not enough to visit all those places if you travel overland. Flying between destinations is the only option, but even then you'd be rushing a bit. Buy the plane tickets locally in China, as you will get the discounts. You can buy them on very short notice and still get all discounts (even just a few hours before the flight takes off. For more information see my China travelogues:http://www.molon.de/travelogues/Chin...es/China/2006/ -- Alfred Molonhttp://www.molon.de- Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe Thank you, all! You've given me alot to think about! Shen |
