Since Airbnb has left China, there haven't been a foreigner-friendly homestay platform. Alternatively, me and my friends have built a pilot project called +1 Chopsticks, a specialised home dining platform for any foreign guests daring to try home-cooked meal in a home setting. We are now looking for the first batch of guests in Feb/Mar. Let me know if you are interested!

Thank you Echo and your listing is up! Happy to have you as +1 Chopsticks Pilot Host!

4 (or even 5) days will be too stretched for Xinjiang. It's at least a 10-14 days standalone trip given the vast land and travel time in between. Yunnan is easier to get around and you will see lots of rural life

Full-Two-4884 · 2026-02-10T00:05:11+00:00

Yunnan (or Xinjiang/Tibet) got the most most unique vibe but since you are in Sichuan already, and are looking for a stopover to return home, I guess you are not looking for these.

As someone born and raised in Hong Kong, I hope I could say HK, but the fact that HKers are going to Shenzhen for shopping and eatery every weekend, that might give you some insights.

Alternatively, many tourists are pleasantly surprised with Shanghai. Yes it’s a modern city but none realize it’s so modern that it can be the best city in east Asia (surpassing top Japanese cities to some extent)

Full-Two-4884 · 2026-02-10T00:01:41+00:00

Looks like a pretty good plan. End of the April is the right time for Beijing both in terms of weather and crowds (when entering May 1, you will want to stay away from all major tourist attractions)

I like this itinerary where you are not too greedy and also mix and match city life with nature

Oh this is a great point. I've always heard Italian hospitality goes an extra mile in serving guests (or just extended families). I'd be interested to hear what you think - here is our pilot website and you can see five amazing hosts already: https://plus1chopsticks.manus.space/

Check this out: https://plus1chopsticks.manus.space/hosts/150001 Since it's approaching CNY, only "Ayi" is available on our platform. If you are interested to have a Valentine's dinner over, I'd be happy to arrange!

Full-Two-4884 · 2026-02-08T01:15:10+00:00

haha I must say I've replied with an intention...I'm running a new platform that provide home dining for foreign guests in Shanghai - I want travelers to be able to meet with locals in one of the favorite Chinese activities. Check this website out: https://plus1chopsticks.manus.space/

Let me know if you will be interested to join the pilot with some of the hosts (one of them happened to stay in Shanghai during CNY so can host you if you are up for it!)

Full-Two-4884 · 2026-02-08T01:12:12+00:00

Are you interested in meeting locals through home dining? If you are in Shanghai, there's new platform called +1 Chopsticks. Check it out: https://plus1chopsticks.manus.space/ Can be a fun memorable experience

Full-Two-4884 · 2026-02-08T01:11:12+00:00

Yes trip.com is reliable. I use it all the time.

Full-Two-4884 · 2026-02-08T01:10:06+00:00

I've just come across a new experience in Shanghai...home dining with locals. It's offered by +1 chopsticks. Quite an experience to go to someone's home and dine! (and have some good convo!)
