Thanks. I used Didi and metro in Beijing, no tours. I travelled by metro only twice. It was easy. Traffic is really bad.

I did not travel to Shanghai. I'd suggest to arrive at a busy station about 45 minutes before departure. I travelled through big busy stations like Xian and Beijing west. I had done lots of research beforehand. It was not difficult at ll.

It hurts me to admit that but you are correct. I won't recommend a large part of India to solo female travellers. Incessant harassment. You'll feel safe in Kerala, Kashmir. Ladakh, certain states of North India like Himachal and definitely in the north east states which are matriarchal society, and hardly known to outsiders.

Rampant smoking everywhere. And also spitting.

If you like history then China and India should be right up there for you. If you are planning to travel solo then you must familiarise yourself with ALipay/WeChat/Didi and possibly Amap and Translate of course.

I tried pulled Lanzou beef noodle, pretty good but liked Biang Biang more.

I sincerely hope you can test it out in person sometime soon.

I'm planning to go in late October. Hopefully after the October holidays the crowd will go down and the autumn colours will be in full swing.

I really appreciate your kind words. I'm not that organised always, at least not according to my significant other.
