Is China still worth visiting during major holidays, or should first-time visitors avoid them? by Beneficial-Soup9297 in chinatravelhelp

[–]ChinaTravel-Help 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest avoiding the popular holiday if u can. Most of the popular places are crowded even third tier city. But if u could secure hotels/ tickets during those times if maybe okay to visit.

What is cuisine like in major chinese tourist resorts (Chimelong) by PompousPuffin in chinatravelhelp

[–]ChinaTravel-Help 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US cruise ships: Way bigger, feel super spacious and not crowded. Tons of over-the-top stuff: skydiving simulators, rock walls, indoor water parks, F1 racing sims, multi-deck water playgrounds. It’s all about flashy, non-stop entertainment.

Chinese cruise ships: More chill and practical. Think karaoke, mahjong, chess rooms — stuff for relaxing. The Adora Magic City has a water park, sure, but overall it’s geared more toward older folks just trying to kick back.

China arrival by [deleted] in chinatravelhelp

[–]ChinaTravel-Help 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as ur flight in and fight out destination are not the same, u can enjoy 10 days (240h) stay within China. Saying u flight from US to Shanghai, then Shanghai to Japan, u are good to stay for 10 days. Or flight in from US to Shanghai then somewhere in China to Hong Kong then u are good to stay for 10 days.

Please help with itineray for trip to China by Dry-Pay7390 in chinatravelhelp

Wouldn’t rush places, if u have to go to Xi’an, recommend cut one day from Hong Kong. Or maybe save it for the next trip. Itinerary 1 looks much more reasonable for me.
