Thanks for the advice jiejie.

heres the possible schedule that I have in mind. My wife and I really want to see guilin.

China, Beijing - June 11th - 8:10am departure, arrive 9:10am Beijing, China (PEK) $187 - China Southern
China, Beijing - June 11th-15th Tour of Beijing (4 full days - 11,12,13,14)
Hotel - roughly 100 dollars per night or less - Capital Hotel

China, Guilin - June 15th - depart Beijing 7:20am, arrive 10:25am, Guilin, China (KWL) - $200 - Air China
China, Guilin - June 15, 16, 17 - Tour of Guilin (2 full days - 15,16)
Hotel - roughly 30 dollars a night - Guilin HongKong Hotel

China, Shanghai - June 17th - depart Guilin 11:55am,arrive 2:05pm, Shanghai, China (PVG) - $200 - Shanghai Airlines
China, Shanghai - June 17,18,19 Tour of Shanghai (2 full days - 17,18)
China, Shanghai - June 19th - departs Shanghai
Hotel - roughly 80 dollars per night or less - Grand Mercure Zhongya

Flight to China Cost per couple- 2x187= $374

Estimated Total cost for 2 people without tours at the moment for China portion: $400+$200x2+$60+$200x2+$160 = $1420 includes flights within

Tours in China - Just an estimate, I think we have cheaper ones in mind.
Beijing - http://www.chinatraintickets.net/bei...ay-trip-6.html - 360 per person for group of 4, both includes hotel - visit - Temple of Heaven, Great Wall, Bird Nest Olympics, Forbidden City, Old Beijing, Summer Palace

Guilin - http://guilin.lotour.com/ - probably about 40 dollars a day at most
- http://www.chinatraintickets.net/gui...ay-trip-1.html - $130 per person for group 4, - 4 hour cruise on Li River/Yangshuo
- http://www.chinatraintickets.net/gui...ay-trip-2.html - $85 per person for group 4- Elephant Trunk Hill, Flute Cave

Rough Total of tours in China (Beijing/Guilin) - $360+$215=$575 per person

Estimated Total - $374+$1020+$575x2 (beijing hotel included here)= $2524

Im considering to use the Friends and family rate for IHC hotels or the Radisson Hotels in China.

Any comments on my schedule? This will be after 8 days in Korea.
