| Aside from all the places mentioned there are also some sights outside of those. How about Wuxi, there one can go to a couple of the Buddhist temples, with large Buddhas. well worth the effort. Another place is 1000 island lake, think its Chinese name is Taihu. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Now since you have 3 days free, it is also quite possible to do some other things with a little planning and scheduling that are a little further afield. How about going to Sanya, or Hainan? well worth it, for the carless roads in comparison to the contancerous roads of Shanghai, or head to one Guilin and Yanshuo. Maybe even do a trip to Huangshan (yellow mountain) or one of the other 4 famous mountains in China. Actually want to see some really hidden gems, then how about hitting the real parts of China... try www.backroadsofchina.com where one can embark on a serious excursion to one of many undiscovered villages -and no I don't work for them... If you'd like to see Hangzhou, then you will surely find something to capture your imagination, try the big lake area there. Actually there is so much to see, do and explore here, its part of the almost inescapable magics of China... |
