Advice: where to go for a weekend away from Hong Kong

I am looking for a weekend away from Hong Kong this May (anywhere within short flying times) , and wondered whether anyone has any recommendations. I%26#39;ll be travelling alone, and (normally living in Europe) would enjoy maximum exotisism, either in a city or village/countryside. I%26#39;ve thought of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Beijing .... Any ideas? Thank you

Beijing is fabulous You can see The Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall. Hotels reasonable on Internet. It has the most sights of any Chinese city. If you want somewhere warm well go to Bangkok. Japan is great especially Tokyo and Kyoto but expensive but possibly the most truly Oriental experience.

How about Yangshuo (http://www.yangers.com) and the surrounding countryside? The Dragon%26#39;s Backbone rice terraces should be quite nice at that time of year.



BTW, I hope you%26#39;re not thinking of travelling in the 1st week of May!
