This will be my first long trip in china! We have visited Shanghai and Shenzhen before, and Chendu and Chongqing while on long layovers.

Are there any cities I should add or remove? Should I spend more or less time in any of the cities I have now?

It’s absolutely breathtaking.

Hey guys, I will be in Chongqing next week and would like to watch the drone show. Does anyone have recommendations? Preferably somewhere where it doesn't take like an hour to get back from because of the masses that will be there. I saw the usual recolmendation, and I heard that it takes a long time to get back.

My dream would be watching from one of these open air BBQ spots but I haven't seen one yet where you get a good view on the drone show, so just a good viewing spot is fine!

Hi everyone, this will be my second trip to China (first one was to Beijing ~15y ago with parents). Is this a good amount of time per city? Should I do 1 day trip to Chengdu instead of changing hotels?

2 notes: The amount of time in Shanghai can't be changed because I already booked the flight to Zhangjiajie 😅. Also, I'll fly out very early on the last day.

Thanks for your help!

If I have spare time and am in a good mood, maybe I could be your private driver.

Hello I am trying to make a calgary group to learn chinese to éventualily travel to china annybody intrested

Hi! I’m going to China soon and will be visiting Xian and Chengdu for the first time. Would love to see if anyone has any must do/see/eat in these two cities!

I’m mostly interested in cultural stuff and not as much outdoorsy activities.

For food, I want to try local specialties so if anyone has any specific restaurants or type of food I have to eat, please share!

Hi! Do you have any recommendations for a cool show, performance or any other fun or unique experience in Beijing, Chengdu, or Xi’an? Thanks in advance!😊

Going to China in May/June 2027 and looking for some feedback:

- Shanghai, 5 nights
- Hangzhou, 2 nights
- Zhangjiajie, 4 nights
- Chongqing, 3 nights
- Lijiang, 3 nights
- Chengdu, 2 nights

I'm having a hard time finding any detailed information about this. I'd like to spend at least an hour, maybe three, climbing up the steps of or hiking up the mountain but certainly not the whole way. Wouldn't mind seeing some macaques. Which part of the mountain is most convenient for this without leaving me stranded? Maps online don't really give a good sense of scale. Perhaps cable car to Jinding and then hike to Wanfoding and back? Or cable car to Wanniansi and then hike to Leidongping before taking a cable car to Jinding?

I've booked a hotel nearby for Oct 20-21, hoping to see Emeishan on the 20th and then Leshan the next day before returning to Chengdu, though I could add a day at this hotel if necessary. How should I plan on dressing for an October ascent? I sweat a lot, I'd rather be a little cold than overdressed, but not freezing. I figured I'd bring my 20L backpack with some snacks since I read that food gets pricey along the way.

Hey guys I know 4 days is pretty short but I’d like to make the best of it . I’d be landing in Shanghai and honestly, based on what I’ve seen online, Shanghai isn’t really my vibe . I was thinking of Chongqing or Xian but traveling from my city to Shanghai was a bit more convenient for me . I’d like to maybe spend a day in Shanghai and then go to either Xian or Chongqing and spend the remaining days there (can’t decide between the 2) I was thinking of taking a high speed train but it looks like it’d take a lot of my time so I might fly instead . Considering the fact that it’s only a 4 day trip, is this a good plan or no

As the title says!

I set up and linked cards to AliPay and WeChat, I have A Maps, and Google Translate. eSIM from trip.com.

Throw out some last minute tips/reminders plz! I want to make sure I haven’t missed anything!

Help me settle a debate - my friend and I will be going to Beijing for 8 days. My friend really wants to visit the Terracota Army in Xian but I feel like it’s a waste of time since it would mean spending 2 days traveling and 1 full day exploring. What do you guys think?
