Hi
Off to Shanghai in April landing on Friday evening and departing the following Saturday evening .....have not booked anything yet and was just going to explore Shanghai and close surrounds for the week, now a few friends are saying we are crazy for not going to Beijing. So I need some expert advice as I cannot extend the trip or change departure point so do I do the weekend in Shanghai and then fly or train it to Beijing for a few days before coming back to Shanghai for the last day or so.
I am led to believe that it is easier to travel on the train from some of the posts that I have read and would you do an overnight or day trip. I was hoping to book the Sofitel Hyland in Shanghai but have done nothing yet and any recommendations for hotel in Beijing that is central and easy to get around, because if we did go it would be a flying visit. Thanks
