Pre or Post Olympics Bejiing
Lots of good advise on Fodors! I've even come up with a tentative itinerary, although I want to do more research before I post it with my questions.

Sign me up for the Pre-Olympics club! Actually, the Olympics played little to no part in my decision, I've been wanted to go to China ever since I was a little kid trying to dig a hole in the yard deep enough to get there 
For the longest time, Italy ruined my hopes of ever traveling anywhere else in the world - I kept on returning there year after year. But I finally took the plunge and bought my plane ticket to China - October 2007 - I'm so excited!!!

Hi Shanghainese, I've just begun my planning, so I don't yet have much of an itinerary except arrive in Beijing and depart from Shanghai, a total of 17 nights in China. At this point I'm thinking of two intermediate stops, one a relatively small characteristic village, maybe one of the world heritage sights or places that come up in lists of "China's most charming towns." And also someplace with stunning landscapes. But... I have a ton of reading and researching to do, so we'll see! Looking forward to frequenting this forum as the planning continues
