I am thinking of booking my first solo holiday. Wonders of China, with add on cruise, departing Mar 28 2012. Would appreciate any suggestions or advice in general, particularly with regard to what type of clothing to take. Would like to hear from anyone else thinking of booking same holiday.

Did the trip with Yangtze add on in May this year - it was really great. Very busy tour until you get to cruise but still enjoyable. Clothing I took was smart casual and atmosphere is very relaxed all the time. Plenty of Chinese food!!! Take toilet paper and sanitising gel as public toilets are interesting. Taking a few Yuan and £'s to change when in China worked for me but make sure the £'s are in perfect condition. Cruise was really very good and vessel was comfortable. Almost wish I was going again!! Enjoy it!! John

Hi John

Thanks for the tips & hints. Am looking forward to it, just hope its not too early in the year for reasonable weather. Im sure will enjoy it anyway.

I'm going on the wonder of China trip on the 28th march and it will be my first solo holiday too. I've been told that it would be a good idea to pack some throat sweets as the air can get dusty and irritate the throat.
