Recently returned from Shanghai after a trip with my 4x5. I picked up a local fixer and had no trouble at all. Found all I encountered to be genuinely friendly people. Don't be affraid to wander random streets, never know what you might find and if your not welcome you will soon be shoo'd away.
Re: Requesting advice: travelling to Beijing
Haha!You are so funny!
I think you must be taking up too much of the tourist attractions.
The biggest problem will be setting up before you are inundated with onlookers. Its a great place keep your cool blend in as well as possible and defenitly go of the beten track. The only place I had trouble shooting was in the forbiden city.
Happy shooting.

I was there in June, it's way easier to shoot there than it is here... the police will leave you alone.
I find it interesting that in countries that have no freedoms are freer than in Canada. Just try taking photos at a mall in Canada without permission.

You may feel free using tripod in even Hidden Palace (old palace). So many place to take a picture in Beijing. HIdden palace, summer palace, great wall, Tian dan..
But in Beijing, it is somewhat difficult to encounter blue sky.
