China Itinerary Suggestion
Hello, China Experts, I have been to Beijing (2 times) Shanghai (3 times), Hong Kong(3 times), and Macau(2 times).
in April I am planning to go to Zhang Jia Jie for the first time. Are there any other places you'd like to recommend for me to visit? Xi'An is one of other places I have in mind. China being a large country I don't expect to go everywhere, but I wouold like to go somewhere that have rich in history and culture. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hunan Province, where you are going, is loaded with so many different landscapes, traditional villages, and cultural relics. You could start there by visiting the provincial tourism website.

Scroll down to the section 'Tour Hunan'

Since you're going to be in Hunan Province already for Zhangjiajie, I'd definitely recommend checking out some other places in the area too. After Zhangjiajie, maybe add on a few days in Xi'an like you mentioned - the Terracotta Warriors are incredible. Or you could head south to Yangshuo and hike the beautiful limestone karsts there.

You are already going to a remote site that is not a city...... how are you getting/staying there?
A lot of places in the Hunan Province are connected by train. At each site there are tour agencies you could contact in advance who could help you, and there are internet cafes/lodging that can help people with English. Like anywhere else, of course there will be language barriers, but there is a benefit to getting off the heavily trod path.
Here is a map of trains in Hunan, from this link you will find many other tourist maps of Hunan areas, by town:

Hunan Province has many ethnic minority villages and a lot of natural wonders, so you don't have to go far.

HappyTrvlr, Thank you for the tip. It is interesting from the cultural point of view, but I wonder if my travel to the region as a foreigner raise a red flag by the authority. When was the last time you were in Xinjiang Province?

shelemm, thanks. I realize China is a big country. It is not possible to see all the places in China. If you recommend two cities in the map which cities will they be?
