The OpenOffice.org Annual Conference goes to Beijing

I was in China (Beijing) last May, and loved every minute of it. Fascinating place (though a bit overwhelming--an abundance of sites to see, people to meet). I would have loved to tour the whole country, but alas, there's only so much you can do on a limited budget. If someone hasn't traveled there, and this is their chance, I would highly recommend it.

I am in Beijing for 24 years. It is a huge and crowd city and enlarges every year. If someone wants to travel China, I highly recommend a southern, small city.

My wife comes from Beijing, and while I agree that it's one large beast, it's also a wonderful city and province, with several interesting sites around, and it almost HAVE to be on any travel schedule to China. (Just visiting the Forbidden City is something noone should miss) That said, other places is definately also "needed" on that schedule, Lijiang/Yunnan for the wonderful mountain areas and traditional cultures, Hangzhou (near Shanghai) for the sheer beauty and incredible temples, Shanghai (or Hongkong, though I've never been there) for the feeling of an insanely busy city, and for the extreme contrasts possible in a single city (Can be stressful, though). There's probably several more, but those are the ones that stood out for me. Oh, if you really like fish, Shenzhen is probably also of interest (But WAY too hot for me... Normally I hate shopping, but we more or less ran from mall to mall, just for the airconditioners).
