Heading to Beijing and Shanghai in March. My first China trip
While in Beijing, planning on visiting the Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.
I'll be spending most of my time in Shanghai, and really not sure what I'll be doing, besides tracking down non-meat food to eat LOL
I already have my Visa application sent off to the service... was very straightforward.
So, any pointers on what to see? I'm really just into people watching, history, cultural centers, churches, architecture, etc.
Can I get my AT&T iPhone 5S to work over there? If so, where can I buy a SIM card? Or, should I just take my Nexus 4 with me?
Where to change money? OK to withdraw out of ATMs and otherwise use my AMEX at restaurants, hotels, etc?
Are these cities friendly to a mostly non-meat eater?
I know I can probably find this stuff on Google if I poke around, but man, is it ever hard to wade through all the BS for good info. I know you guys can deliver reliably
