I'm moving to China next week and have a couple of weeks before the term starts. Looking at the Lonely Planet, it's pretty overwhelming to be honest- so many exciting destinations! Stating the bloody obvious: Chine is fookin' massive! I'll be in Shandong province, anyone been and if so what local sights should I check out? In particular, any good hiking routes about?
I also try to turn this into a photothread if the internet allows it- I'm guessing the whore ads upset the The Grand Poobah at Firewall HQ
