Shanghai Route Planner China/Shanghai
Posted: Fri May 9, 2008 11:52 AM UTC
Hi all!

We are planning a trip to China. Is there an online route planner for China/Shanghai? It's like the ones for Europe, where you put in Start point (address/postcode/place of interest etc) and Destination of where you want to go, and it gives you step by step driving directions, total travelling time, distance in km etc?

Thank you

None that I know of, in ENGLISH. I've found at least 2 in Chinese. Foreign travellers aren't allowed to self-drive in China (unless you go through a mountain of paperwork and pay through the nose) so it wouldn't be of any practical use either.

But what are you interested in? History, culture, ethnic people, natural landscape or just a comprehensive trip? There are a lot of routes you can choose actually. Have a look at http://www.itourchina.com or http://www.travelchinaspring.com They are english websites of professional route planners. If you are interested in those routes on them, you can send email to the webmaster. There are email addresses on both of the webs.

Wish you have a nice trip in China.
