Bueno, bueno, bueno... per aqui les coses resulten estar més flexibles... El pla? Pekin, Shangai i Gulin. Tres ciutats i uns 20 dies chinesos.

El temps però, depen basicament d'una simple qüestió: ¡Esto...esto me/no me gusta! tot i que el factor economico evidentment pesa... i molt! :D I és que segons sembla la veïna Vietnam resulta molt més assequible... Ya se verá! Os seguiremos informando! ;)

Qualsevol suggerencia serà ben rebuda!! Algun conegut xinès que vulgui recomenar una destinació??

                                         TOTAL EN RUTA: 5semanes aprox.


Here things turn up to be less tight... The plan? Beiging, Shangai and Gulin. The tree cities and 20 days or so dedicated to China.

The time, though, can be changed depending on how much we enjoy the place and mainly... how good is the budget doing!Coz little neighbour Vietnam seems to be much more affortable... We'll see! We will keep you informed! ;)

Any suggerence will be well recived! ;) Any chinese friend willing to recomend any (cheap)destination? :D

                                      TIME ON THE ROAD: 5weeks aprox.
