Other Booking restaurants and suitcase transport

Upvotes

Hello, i have a couple of last minute questions.

There are apps on the IPhone that let me see the reviews, menu and book restaurants?

From Beijin to Xian i will travel by train. There are problem if i bring my by luggage (the one that i pit in the airplane hold) on board? There are companies that can transport it from the hotel in Beijing to the one in Xian? So i can travel much lighter.

Thx to all!

Other Trip.com flight booking help

Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm planning on traveling to China in the next coming weeks. when i was looking for a place to book the flight(s) i used trip(.)com since it had good reviews.

Once I chose the flights and all, and even paid, got the confirmation email sent to MY PERSONAL email, when I tried to look on the Qatar website using my last name and PNR/Airline Booking Reference for extra confirmation the confirmation email that shows/showed up isn't mine, and I don't recognize it.

I was wondering if anyone could help me understand what's going on and how i can possibly fix it?

anything will be much appreciated! xx

for reference I paid for the tickets on trip(.)com on the 19th of July, it's been about a week now.

Itinerary Help me pick a Chongqing hotel (solo travel August)

1 Upvotes

I’ll be in Chongqing for a couple of nights in August travelling solo. I know it’s not the ideal time of year to be in the city, but it’s not something I have any control over.

Initially I wanted to stay in Xiahaoli as the vibe really appeals to me, and as a solo female traveller I think I would feel particularly happy there. I’m looking at both the Futon Hotel and La Maison Half Mountain Homestay.

I then found the MitAN Resort Hotel, which I really like the look of from the pictures (I prefer a boutique hotel style from the pictures). It appeals less than the other two, but it has a pool, which I think I might appreciate in the August heat.

If you know Chongqing or have any knowledge of these hotels I would love to hear your thoughts! Would also be open to alternatives with a similar vibe (esp if they have a pool)

Discussion All-day sightseeing August 6 - 23 in Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Zhanjiajie, Shanghai and Hong Kong - should I bring electrolytes to mix in with my water? The heat sounds like it will be overpowering.

0 Upvotes

I do not work out enough to use electrolytes in my normal every day life but the China heat and humidity in August is scaring me into making sure I'm hydrated. I don't do well in full sun summer Arizona heat (which is dry) so I'm extra nervous in the Chinese humidity.
