Hi everyone,

I’m heading to China for the first time on October 10th (after Golden Week, so it should be quieter). I’ll be coming from Hanoi (Vietnam), where I’ll be from September 3rd, and I’ll fly to Kunming on October 10th. I’ve planned a route starting in Kunming (4 nights), then Guilin (4 nights), Chongqing (3 nights), Zhangjiajie (4 nights), Chengdu (3 nights), Xi’An (3 nights), Beijing (3 nights), and finally Shanghai (3 nights), with my departure set for November 6th to the Philippines (flight not booked yet). The durations are flexible and should give me enough time to enjoy each place. The schedule is adjustable if needed, and I’ve left a 2-day buffer for the 30-day visa exemption. All connections are planned by high-speed train (not booked yet), with travel times maxing out at 5 hours on the fastest trains. I usually travel solo, but I’m open to some company—someone easygoing and cheerful—and for practical reasons, to split costs on a few excursions, like Dongchuan (the Red Lands), which is easier with a private car.

So, if this itinerary or part of it interests you, I’d love to hear from you!

PS: I’m new to China and its cashless world, so there might be a few lonely moments while I get Alipay, WeChat, and Didi fully set up… 😉

Looking forward to hearing from you! Stéphane
