You're welcome. Maybe you can get Red Dawn to go with you. He might have caught the chinese photo bug.Originally posted by tomshen

This is going to be a little off thread so I apologise immediately. I cannot read chinese but saw pics of this city near shanghai with lots and lots of old buildings and many many canals. I dont know the name but I do know its not Suzhou.
can anyone help?

I had the wonderful luck of having the sun shine on me on 8 of the 10 days I am in Cheng Du/Jiu Zhai Gou.Originally posted by zapp!
I personally suggest that you wait for the airport at JZG to open b4 going...taking a bus up can be quite trying...
Autumn would be the best time to go...
When i went there 1 week ago, there was no sun and the shots i took were all quite gloomy...makes me gian to go back there again if i had the chance....
the place is called zhou zhuang, but dun hold too high expectation, quite commercialise already, beware of the crowd, too many pple to enjoy the old buildingsOriginally posted by ed9119

if u have 2 weeks of leave to clear, then I would suggest u go somewhere else.Originally posted by tomshen
Have two-week leaves to clear and thinking to visit Jiu Zhai Gou. May I know if anyone else here is interested.
Totally agree. It is indeed a bit disappointing during this season. What's the temperature there like during autumn? When I went there, it's already like 15 - 20°C in the morning.Originally posted by mlwang

have u been to Yunnan, where you can visit Lijiang?
Or go Silk Road, 2 weeks should be enough.
Or go Huang Shan, very nice view of seas of clouds if you are lucky.
or go Tibet![]()
To visit Jiu zhai gou now is simply too wasteful. unless u will go there in autumn another time. if u never see Jiu Zhai Gou in autumn, u will regret![]()
