Jack, after you marvel at the Great Wall of China (trust me it's as good as advertised), get your butt to Shanghai and find the Crystal Jade Restaurant. You'll thank me later!

I've also heard Macau is slowly turning into a bigger version of Vegas if you can believe that, so if you're into gambling you can't pass that up!

Let's see if I can fill out my top 5:
1. Great Wall (actually, let's just call this Beijing and tell you to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and Tianamen (sp?) Square in one shot)
2. Shanghai (the food...my god the FOOD, as well as The Bund)
3. Tibet (not sure how far west your travels can take you, but if they can don't miss it!)
4. Macau
5. Yangtze River (never done it, but plan to on the next trip!)
