Hey everyone,
China is a very big country. Rail travel is not cheap and the novelty of spending an endless time on a train can soon wear off. I found air travel very reasonably priced and efficient there and you get where you are going very quickly instead of wasting whole days.
Beijing deserves a lot of time. Xian you have the terracotta warriors and maybe the bell tower/fort in the centre of town so a day, and maybe a full day in Shanghai. A day is ample for Guangzhou and if you haven't been there before, some days in Hong Kong.
Chinese New Year finds most places shut. Great if you want to photograph parades, etc but not really any good for seeing the sights or travelling. You can find lots of people travelling just before and after it, clogging up the transport. I would miss it by at least a week if I were you.
As far as i know., you can book train tickets only 10days in advance. So if you cannot book train tickets in advance by yourself, you can ask your hotel or travel agent to do this for you.
During Chinese new year , everything, hotel, train fares etc will be expensive and too difficult to get.So reserve hotels in advance.
Have a great time.
