My recent trip to China was an amazing experience. From the beautiful city views to the rich culture and delicious food, everything exceeded my expectations. The transportation system was efficient, and using apps for taxis, translation, and maps made getting around much easier. People were generally kind and helpful, even with the language barrier.
The Tianmen Cave scenic area is quite nice, but the other attractions on the mountain aren't particularly impressive. The cable car was closed, so we ended up walking an extra hour unnecessarily. The mountain signs are very unclear, making it easy to get lost. The Tianmen Mountain Temple at the summit has a long history, having been rebuilt in 1999. It's quite large, and the plaza in front of the temple is beautiful!

If you're not a young, active traveler, and your physical fitness is average, you're not too concerned about cost-effectiveness, and you don't need to see all the attractions, I recommend two days. Of course, arriving a day earlier and staying near the East Gate is ideal.
On the first day, it's best to arrive before 8 am to avoid tour groups. The mountain attractions include Tianzi Mountain, Laowuchang, Yangjiajie, and Yuanjiajie. I strongly suggest only visiting Laowuchang and Yuanjiajie. Tianzi Mountain has too many tour groups, resulting in a poor experience. Yangjiajie requires a hike to and from Wulong Mountain Village, and while the scenery is beautiful, it's nearly 5 kilometers and can be physically challenging. The reason for choosing Laowuchang is simple: fewer people and a superior experience. Yuanjiajie is the essence of the experience and a must-see. The first day's attractions cover the highlights of the mountain; the next day will cover the highlights of both the upper and lower sections.
On the second day, choosing the Ten-Mile Gallery and Golden Whip Stream is sufficient. For the Ten-Mile Gallery, it's best to hike in and then take the mini-train out. This avoids the crowds, as most tourists choose to take the train, resulting in long queues. The walking experience is far superior to the train ride. You could consider taking the train to save energy. There are many monkeys in Jinbian Stream, and the one-way trip is 5 kilometers, so there's no need to walk the whole way.
Be advised, it’s a whole days non stop walking/ travelling. There’s a lot of walking to do and lots of shuttle buses to catch which is included in the price. I went in July and it was mega HOT HOT so choose wisely and stay hydrated. I had a tour guide who knew the whole national park and I’m glad I chose one because without it I definitely would have gotten lost. it’s worth it, it’s huge and seeing the avatar mountain was simply surreal

The queues at the scenic area entrance were too long and chaotic. Tickets were sold in time slots, but the queues were full of people from all time slots. Even with a 9:00 AM ticket, people couldn't get in by 9:30 AM. The service experience was poor; this service doesn't deserve a 5A rating. I only went there to climb the Red Cloud Golden Summit, and it was quite fun.
The scenery must be beautiful, otherwise there wouldn't be so many tourists. The only downside is that the cable car only goes halfway up the mountain. To see the more beautiful views, you need to climb for several hours, which is too tiring. It's not friendly to the elderly or people with mobility issues.

It's worth seeing. I recommend doing your research beforehand to avoid backtracking. Overall, it's a very good experience. Just be aware that the sightseeing bus stops running after 10:30 am.
The scenery is beautiful, but everything else is unworthy of the ticket price. The sightseeing bus is also inexplicable; I don't know what its purpose is. It's only the guesthouse's service and environment that salvage the situation.

The tour guide 默 picked me up at 8am and translated all the necessary information. The bus ride was really smooth and the scenery at Wulong was surreal and so pretty. No regrets on this tour and would definitely do it again!!

With its layered mountains in the distance and the rolling river nearby, Chongqing offers visitors a unique aerial perspective to appreciate its natural landscape and cultural heritage. The hour-long queue is well worth the five-minute cable car ride.
The young man providing service was very patient and spoke in a gentle tone. The experience was truly impressive; I was initially worried it might be boring, but I was completely wrong. The service was excellent and very good value for money.

Zhijin Cave in Guizhou is a natural karst cave formed over thousands of years. Inside the cave, there are many stalactites and underground rivers on the walls and ceiling, with various shapes and forms that are very spectacular. The whole scene is well worth visiting in person!
The cave is beautiful, and since it's the off-season, it's deserted, allowing for a leisurely visit. A visit takes about 3 hours, with many steps! Whether it's tiring depends on your physical condition; I personally didn't find it too strenuous. It's not cold inside the cave; a base layer and a sweatshirt are usually enough (in November). The only problem is transportation within the scenic area. There are very few direct buses from the high-speed rail station to the scenic area—only one per hour, and they're very slow. We had to take a taxi, which cost 120 yuan and took 40 minutes. By the time we finished our visit, it was almost dark, and there were no taxis available, especially in the middle of nowhere. I hope the scenic area can change the time of the last bus; otherwise, we would miss our high-speed train back to Guiyang. Finally, a kind man took us to the high-speed rail station. What a thrilling trip!

Yes, it was stunning. Lots of pandas and other animals. Plus 24 RMB is such good value.
Entering the park directly is very convenient. It seems that the flow of people is concentrated in the area where the panda pavilion is located, where there are crowds all the time. The advantage is that there is no limit to the number of people, and you can stay there as long as you like. However, the number of visitors to other animals is limited.

I have visited so many ancient towns all over the country, and Qingyan Ancient Town is one of the most distinctive ones. It has scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its towering ancient city walls are very dangerous. It has the charm of a frontier town.
It feels like all ancient towns are the same now, with no distinctive features. The shopping malls are rarely visited, but what makes it different from other ancient towns is that you can climb the city walls, which feels like the Great Wall. Food is very cheap, with sugarcane juice at the entrance only 7 yuan a cup, and the set meal at "South City Old Things" is 38 yuan, which is more than one person can finish!

Walking through the Qixingzhai Scenic Area, you'll often see local villagers setting up stalls along the roadside, selling things like potatoes and glutinous rice cakes. I bought a roasted potato, held it piping hot in my hands, and ate it with the mountain breeze, finding it even better than the most exquisite delicacies.
Take the cable car to Qixingzhai, and after a few minutes' walk, you'll reach the cliffside walkway. This walkway is embedded in the cliff face, appearing from a distance like a thin thread suspended in mid-air. Looking down from the railing, the deep valley is chilling. I walked close to the rock face, hearing my own heartbeat echoing the mountain wind. On the opposite cliff, several maple trees were a vibrant red.
