Hi all, my spouse and I are planning a trip to china this year for vacation, in October. I was hoping to field some advice on where to go exactly, what to see, and general advice on navigating while only understanding English. What apps should I install on my phone for payment, translation, etc.
Rough plan currently is to fly into Hong Kong/stay for 1-2 days. Train to Shenzhen for 1-2 days. Train to Beijing 1-2 days. Then fly back.
Not sure exactly what we want to see, yet. For sure, the Great Wall. Also want to take a super fast train to Beijing.
Happy to hear all your thoughts, thanks!
My advice is to immediately find a giant salamander and stare at it as long as possible. I’m sure everything else is great too, but you can’t see a six foot long salamander anywhere else. Japan has some that are a little smaller.
