Anyone been to China?

I know this is way off topic, but I am sure some of you have gone to China and wanted to find out what things should not be missed in going there.

I have never been there so I wanted to get advice form people that have gone what they thought was the best and even places to avoid.

Thanks!

 

I know but I wanted some "local boys" to tell me. :>
