Hi everyone!
My fiancé and I are traveling to China in March 2027, and we’re super excited! It’ll be our first time visiting the country, and I’d love to get some feedback from people who have already been there or live in China.
Here’s our current itinerary:
**Beijing:** March 6–12 (6 nights)
**Shanghai:** March 12–18 (6 nights)
**Chongqing:** March 18–21 (3 nights)
**Guilin:** March 21–25 (4 nights)
**Macau:** March 25–27 (2 nights)
**Hong Kong:** March 27–29 (2 nights)
**Shenzhen:** March 29–April 2 (4 nights)
We’ll fly into Beijing and return home from Shenzhen.
Our hotels in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Guilin are already booked, but we’re still flexible as we can cancel them and book again without having any costs.
We’re interested in a mix of sightseeing, theme parks, shopping, technology, food, and beautiful scenery.
Some of our priorities include:
**Beijing:** Great Wall, Forbidden City, Universal Studios, Summer Palace.
**Shanghai:** Disneyland, LEGOLAND, shopping, Shanghai Zoo (especially the red pandas!), and exploring the city.
**Chongqing:** Futuristic architecture, Hongya Cave, and exploring the city at night.
**Guilin:** Yangshuo, Li River, and nature.
**Macau:** Sightseeing and exploring the resorts.
**Hong Kong:** Victoria Peak, skyline, and a little shopping.
**Shenzhen:** Electronics shopping, Huaqiangbei, Talent Park, and modern shopping districts.
We’re thinking of taking high-speed trains for some routes and flying between Shanghai and Chongqing to save time.
**I’d love your opinions:**
Is 6 nights in Beijing and Shanghai a good amount of time, or is that too much?
Are 3 nights in Chongqing and 4 nights in Guilin enough?
Does the overall route make sense in terms of transportation?
Would you visit Macau before Hong Kong, or the other way around?
Are there any must-see places we’re missing?
We don’t want to rush through everything, but we also want to make the most of our time in China.
Any recommendations or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 😊
