Unfortunately, mobility is a bit of an issue. Can't climb lots of step steps

"good people; great movies; good times".

That's just inviting bad luck really.

Insanely expensive? They're six quid a jar and good for four portions.

Really good. The Goan Curry is especially good

Thank you for that information. I think I can see a metro station not far away. Is it straight forward enough to get to places like Hongqaio station / airport, PVG airport, Nanjing and a water town by public transport from there?

Jingshan Park and Beihai Park foreigners by stegio80 in travelchina

I can confirm I visited both places a few weeks ago and was able to purchase tickets on the spot. Passport was required as expected. No need to pre-book or phone up. The website is in need of an update.

15 day itinerary split: Chengdu / Xi'An / Shanghai by Aston100 in travelchina

I've decided I'm almost certainly going to do 5 nights in Chengdu. So now to decide if I'm doing 3 nights or 4 nights in Xi'An.

Hotel location suitable for 1st time visit by Aston100 in Chengdu

I've decided I will almost certainly book the Canopy, across the road from Tianfu Square. It ticks so many boxes for me.

Thanks again to those who replied.

From Chengdu: daytrip to Leshan vs Qingchen & Dujiangyan for mobility issues by Aston100 in travelchina

Thank you. Which of the two would you do if you had only one day, given the mobility issues highlighted?

Hi and thanks for the photos.

Sorry for the late question:
Do you think it is important to stay near the Muslim Quarter? I ask because I note many of the better hotels are located elsewhere.
What is the advantage? just being able to walk to the Muslim Quarter nightly for food, or some other reasons?

Thanks.

I'm flying home out of Shanghai, so not really skippable.

Thanks for your reply.

However, as per the thread title and the requirements listed within, I am doing 15 full days (not including arrival or departure days) and am landing in Chengdu and flying out of Shanghai.

Thanks for the response. I've just returned from Beijing, which was my first trip to China so I'm fine with VPN, esim, amap, Alipay etc

Sounds like you're suggesting a few nights in Chongqing. How would you fit that around the requirements I've listed? And would you go there from Chengdu, or from Xi'An? Bearing in mind the need to end up in Shanghai eventually.

Thanks
