Sanya - "Peter's place" is currently closed. 2008-06-05 20:48:00
"Peter
's place'", Sanya Youth Hostel - "Blue Sky", affiiliated to the YHA -, was a favorite among backpackers. All around
China, they were telling about their stay at "Peter's place". I stayed there a few months ago, rooms and dorms weren't optically clean, they were just correct, but staff was very friendly and...

Kunming - false address in Let's Go China 2007-12-03 10:07:00 The address of Southern China

Yueyang - Lily Snow Hotel 2007-11-28 01:10:00 Lily Snow Hotel
(Let's Go China, page 455) is quite a nice place to stay overnight in Yueyang, except from the fact that you may be awoke by something
which sounds like a military "fanfare" or "parade" as early as 6 AM, but before, the place is quiet, which is not so...
Guangzhou - false adress in Let's Go China current edition 2007-11-20 20:31:00 Guangzhou Riverside International Youth Hostel is quite a nice place to stay, as mentionned in Let's Go China

Wenchang's "glorious beaches" 2008-08-25 09:40:00
Lonely Planet China's last edition recommends a beach and an hotel in Wenchang. But if you manage to arrive there
(which already is quite an adventure in itself), you may be a little bit disappointed or at least surprised : indeed, NO SWIMMING is conceivable here : as you may see on the picture, there are
some[...]
Yangshuo : best Espresso in town 2008-10-18 09:13:00 Nearly every bar in Yangshuo is claiming to serve "best
coffee in town". Yet, the real coffee that they bring you may be somewhat disappointing.... The newly opened place called "The Alley" claims nothing, but serves indeniably the best
Espresso
in town. Why ? [...]
Public Holidays : Avoid ! 2008-10-05 04:38:00 Unless you like queuing for going up to your room or paying more than twice the price for evrything, it is wide to avoid travelling to
Hong Kong and Mainland China during PublicHolidays

Macau Ferry Terminal to Shenzhen
Airport have been cancelled three months ago (in spite of the fact that the
