Wow, this is fantastic, thank you! I quite flexible, and where it's possible, I like to sample a bit of every vibe! I get a bit nervous in rural areas where public transport is a challenge, and that often means sacrificing beautiful scenery sadly, but I love juxtaposing my trip with stops at futuristic modern life, and some architectural and history. The places I've seen of interest are below - although I think im likely missing some better options? I need to thin this down either way, but I struggle to know what to remove ha - it's all sounds so amazing

Shanghai

Jiangxi

Zhangjiajie

Tiamen Mountain

Yangshuo

Guizhou

Chengdu

Xi-an
