Now soliciting travel advice from the PC overmind.
In a few weeks I will be touring Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and the stretch of Japan between Kyoto and Tokyo. There isn't a whole lot of time in this ambitious itinerary--in total the whole trip is just shy of three weeks--but right now it's not particularly filled in. Here is what I do have on the definite must-do list: Beijing - the Great Wall, Forbidden Palace; Shanghai - World Expo, the Bund; Japan - baseball game, hot springs. I have nothing whatsoever planned for Hong Kong, primarily because that destination wasn't my idea.
I have local contacts in Beijing and Shanghai, which I expect will help, but the rest is very much fly by the seat of my pants. So if anyone has any advice/recommendations/abuse, share away.
