You don't want to flaunt it, but if they do realize, shouldn't be a big deal.

I'm actually looking to take a mountain climbing trip to China soon. It'll be unguided and self-supported, but I'm curious as to the cheapest airport to fly into, as I've never been to China. Would it be Hong Kong? I realize that would be further from the mountains, but I like to save my points when I can...

And, anyone see these guys in the news? They are Chineese mountain pikas...more endagnered than Panda Bears!

I've never climbed a mountain in China so no help here, but Hong Kong is in no way China. Two different worlds.
