Maybe this thread is not strictly related to China, but I find it fits because when I see what itinerary people write or suggest here it seems madness.

Like I see things like "Hey guys going to China for 10 days, Is shanghai for 2 days, chongqing for 2 days, Chengdu for 2 days, Beijing for 2 days, Hanghzou for half a day, shenzhen for half a day ok?!"

And many people here not only approve them, but also when someone does things the other way, like "Hey guys I want to go to Shanghai for 5 days and then chongqing for 5 days what cool things to do" you can find tons of posts saying staying in Shanghai (freaking shanghai one of the biggest cities in the world) for so much time is boring and there is nothing to do.

It seems completly different than travelling lets say around Europe, where people will sit in a small greece island that you can drive around in 1 hour for 2 whole weeks.

Is this really the preferred way of travelling around? I can't even start imagining how would visiting chongqing for 2 days feel, go, do the photos of the train and Hongyadong and leave ?! Where is the fun in that

Hi all! I (North Europe) was supposed to go to Thailand around March/April, sadly an orange gentleman ruined my plans and I have been "stranded" waiting for a new destination to appear. Alas, Asia is probably completly out of the picture this year sadly as rain season is starting in most places.

Is there a "backup" in Europe/Africa that is somewhat similar to Thailand/Philippines and where the weather is good in may/june? Big advantage if you can fly there easily without rockets next to you. I've been already to beaches in Tenerife, Italy or Zakynthos and while beatiful they don't scratch that tropical vibe

I thought about going the other side, The Caribbean, but I think the weather there also isn't the best.

Hi all!

I am thinking about going to S. Korea (or China, maybe) in about a month. A bit part of what I want to get from is that "cyberpunk" feeling of big asian cities like Seoul. Something I can't really get in my country.

However I already saw some countries putting restrictions to lights in cities from around 9pm, for example Egypt, because of the energy crisis. Also I saw some rumors of countries restricting domestic flights and trains also for the same reason, maybe it was Egypt again, or Australia I can't remember.

Do you guys who are in Korea or know about its current situation know if something like that there is also a possibility?

Thanks in adanvce!
