I definatly want to see the great wall. What else is there to see? What do you think is a good amount of time to visit China to get a good experience? And also how is inter-country transportation?

Great Wall? That's IT? You have to be kidding me. The Forbidden City. Beijing. Hong Kong. The villages. The people. You could stay in China for 2 years and miss a lot. TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!!

These are the things that I can think of right now. If I think of other things, I will tell you. Beijing is a city where you can easily spend a month and not do everything.
I love it and just got back.
In order of importance:
1. Great Wall. Go to the section farthest away. It is worth it by all accounts. Contact me and I will send you pictures.
2. The Hutongs west of the Back Lakes. Go for dinner. Have drinks on the lake at the Jaz Bars. You will want a second day there if you have a romantic interest.
3. Shop at the Silk Store that is Government owned.
4. Tennamen but I was disappointed. It is a must, however.
5. Shop. Get a guide to help you so they will negotiate for you. If not, offer a third of any prices offered and you should be ok.
6. See the Olympic site. There are two stadiums and you cannot leave without seeing them.
I kept my list short but you have to see all of them. Then, fill your time in however you like. One last thing. Get a massage at the end of a day...do it early because you will surely want to do it again, eat at only good restaurants, have a hot pot dinner and the Peking Duck. Enjoy!!!

The Great Wall of China

check out this website:
www.travelchinaguide.com
It is a great website! It has information on each province and all the cities, what to see, when to go, etc.
The amount of time to spend in China...you will need a few months to see everything. Domestic air tickets are very easy to get, but do get quite expensive during each of the holidays. Train travel takes much longer and tickets can be difficult to get during holidays.

There are simply so many places to see in China!
No matter what you like, I would suggest Beijing and Xi'an, simply because you can't go to China without seeing the Great Wall as you already listed (in Beijing), and the Terra Cotta Warrior (in Xi'an). They are truly the signature landmarks in China and well worth the reputation!
If you are up to some adventure, then go to Tibet - the "Roof of the World"! 13,000 feet above sea level, the scenery is really breathtaking! The Potala Palace is truly worth the visit once a life time! I just came back from Tibet in Oct and still dream of it often!:-)
If you are up to the dynamic culture and local people, then go to the southwest China. Kunming is famous for its diverse minorities, their vibrant life and colorful traditions. Kunming is also called "Spring City" since it has really mild pleasant weather all year long. Kunming has all kinds of minority festivals with very dynamic cultures! If you have time, complete the Shangri-la trip with Dali and LIjiang. Old town Lijiang is really a gem with over 800 years history and original look of its peaceful atmosphere.
And of course, if you love natural scenery, then go to Guilin- the most beautiful city in China! The scenery of Guilin has inspired thousands of Chinese artists over the ages to draw such beautiful paintings! Guilin is the very essence of the classical Chinese landscape paintings; fantastically shaped peaks that are studded with pines and delicate pavilions, partly shrouded in the mist. You will easily get lost at this peaceful land of Shangri-La!
There are simply too many options to choose from, it just depends when you are going, how long do you plan to stay and what is your cup of tea! The amount of time, I would say at least 2 weeks, so you can cover the highlight of China (first-timers): Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin and Shanghai.
I can help you with all the domestic transpotation: domestic flight as well as car/van inbetween the tour sights for your party of travel. If you would like to arrange a tour to China, I would be more than happy to help you! We provide the whole package for you, including hotels, meals, transpotation, sightseeing with private guide, so you can just lay back and enjoy!
