China for Dummies - please help
We would like to go to China and have no clue where to begin a travel plan. We've always travelled on our own and wonder if it can be done. If you have suggestions for small tour group company, cruise or have done China on your own, please tell me where to begin and what you might avoid. Can the highlights be done in two weeks? Thanks so much.

If you have a good sense of humor no problem to do on your own.
A good itinerary (and I recommend skipping Hong Kong, if only because it deserves a trip in its own right):
Beijing Xian Shanghai/Hanghzou Gui lin (note, if you start in HK just reverse).

Fodors Talk Asia is a good place to go for this kind of information.

There's a recent trip report there you might find encouraging:
