Hey guys,

I am planning a vacation for next summer to China. I currently have my airfare on hold via CX and I am trying to fill in the pieces. I will be flying into HKG and wanted have 12 days and 11 nights in China. I was thinking I would do the following major cities.

3 or 4 nights in HKG

Fly to PEK, 4 nights in Beijing

3 or 4 nights in an unknown destination (possibly Taipei (TAIWAN) , Xian, Hangzhou, Lhasa, Shanghai)

Is Shanghai worth a visit or is it similar to Beijing or Hong Kong?

Do you think 3 nights is enough in HKG? Do I need a 4th? If not, I can do 4 nights in one of the cities listed above or possibly another? What do you guys think? I am open to doing/seeing anything.
