Q: Holiday spots in south China?

Chinese new year is too cold in Beijing so I'm looking for somewhere to go in the South of China. Other than Hainan, any other suggestions?

Hot springs will be the choice of locals, meaning those are also likely to get very crowded.

 

If you are looking for seaside, I'm afraid you won't be able to rely on tour agents, because they mostly don't propose this option (to my knowledge) on this season.

 

I might be wrong.

Hong Kong, Macau, Zhuhai. It's not warm as such, but on the sunny days it is currently possible to venture outdoors in t-shirts/shorts. Check a weather page of your choice for climate info.

South West Yunnan in Xishuangbanna. Beautiful place with a fairly decent climate and wild elephants!!. Check out when the rainy season is though, just to be sure.

  Guangxi has some descent spots. Guilin is a pretty nice city to visit and there's a real purty boat ride you can take from there down to Yangshuo (always a laugh but getting more touristy with each year) and from there you can visit (and i'd recommend spending a couple of days in) Longji, which is miles of tiered rice terraces and is otherwise known as the Dragon's Backbone Terrace. Beautiful spot and with some real quaint little villages tucked up in the hills. Got it's bars too though. Can't go wrong there.

Take the train from Nanning to the Vietnamese border.  It's cheap.  Apply for a Vietnamese visa ahead of time in Nanning (takes about 2 days).  Take the train from the Vietnamese border to either Hanoi or Saigon.  Great countryside.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
