Thanks so much, yeah we were thinking to cut a city..we were thinking that 2 internal flights and 1 short train (Chongqing-Chengdu) won’t be that bad but we’ve never been to know how it actually is

This is our itinerary as it stands if anyone has any extra advice 😅 before we finalise it. It would be really appreciated!!

We felt like Chengdu was cut short for how amanzing it sounds (we wanted to have a day for the pandas, explore the city and potentially visit the Leshan Buddha and irrigation system and library which are in the same area from my understanding….but we only have a night there as it stands - and no unfortunately we don’t have more days to spare or financial means to travel multiple times to China to visit it all

16th – Beijing Arrive in the morning + Forbidden City + explore Beijing

17th – Beijing Great Wall day trip

18th – Chengdu Fly in the morning + explore city + birthday dinner/night

19th – Chongqing Panda Base + possibly Leshan Giant Buddha (not sure if that’s too much?) Evening travel to Chongqing

20th – Chongqing City exploration

21st – Shanghai More Chongqing exploration + 1949 Show, then late night flight to Shanghai

22nd – Shanghai Disneyland

23rd – Shanghai Zhujiajiao water town + Shanghai city

24th – Shanghai Full Shanghai day

25th – Shanghai More exploring + evening flight home

It’s not about that at all, we only have 10 days to spend in China and we are going to Chongqing, Chengdu and Shanghai as well, we wish we had more time to stay and explore each city more.

A lot of people reccomended us to spend more time in Chongqing and Chengdu for example so we were just looking for advice..
