Hello:
I will be visiting China in early June for 12 days. I have never been to Asia before. I will leave from New Jersey and start in Beijing. Then go by sleeper car train to Xi'an. Another sleeper car train to Suzhou. Then a bullet train to Shanghai.
Can you recommend what to try and see or do while there. Do you have any particular travel tips for me- like things to remember to bring. Is it better to obtain Chinese currency here in the US or wait until I am there? How do you deal with the jet lag? Are there certain types of food I should seek out or avoid while there? The tour that I am going through recommends that we travel lightly, so I am trying to keep that in mind.
Thank you for your advice.
