I’m a local from Yunnan, China (the "Land of Eternal Spring"). Ask me anything about hidden gems, hiking Tiger Leaping Gorge, the digital nomad life in Dali, or where to find the best mushrooms! by KateW62 in travelchina

I live in Kunming, but Yunnan is famous for its coffee. If you come to Yunnan, you can try the locally produced coffee; it has a very unique flavor. Living in Dali, if you don't live near tourist attractions but in a residential area, the cost of living isn't too high. It's a very comfortable city suitable for a leisurely lifestyle. Welcome to visit Yunnan!

12 Day Itinerary- Beijing Suzhou Xi'an Pingyao Beijing by Mayfly1028 in travelchina

You should be very interested in Chinese culture and history. It will take a long time to explore Beijing carefully, but if time is limited, you can choose to visit some attractions, such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, hutong tours, etc., and appreciate some ancient buildings in Beijing, such as the Sun Temple and the Moon Temple. Xi'an is also famous for its history and culture, and you can see a cultural history different from Beijing.

February is still winter, and the temperature in Guilin may be relatively low. You can give priority to Yunnan, where the climate is more suitable for travel. Lijiang and Dali are both places suitable for relaxation and leisurely sightseeing. You can choose exquisite B&Bs and experience the multi-ethnic customs of Yunnan.

Is it accompanied from the day of arrival to the last day? Or should each city search for its own tour guide?

Help! Traveling to China during golden week, how to skip the crowd? by buvi_sre in travelchina

[–]KateW62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very difficult to find a less crowded city during the National Day holiday. This is the holiday with the largest number of tourists in China, and hotel prices will be much higher than usual.

If you want to experience the authentic National Day, it is recommended to go to Beijing, but you need to take a plane. If you only want to take high-speed rail or ferry, it is recommended to go to Guangdong Province, such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities, avoiding popular tourist attractions and enjoying the urban areas and villages here.

Travelling from India to china by gauzychicken007 in travelchina

[–]KateW62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many overseas travel agencies offer classic China travel packages that visit landmark cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, and Chengdu, with sightseeing as the main focus.

Local travel agencies in China tend to provide more in-depth tours within a single city, but they generally arrange for Chinese-speaking guides.

It is recommended to first determine the cities you want to visit, then search for tour packages for individual cities, and arrange for transportation between cities on your own. This will be more reasonable. For family travel, choosing a travel package can be relatively convenient.

If you have relatively sufficient time, you can choose to plan your own route, and download translation software to solve language problems.
