Route planning

China’s regional distances can be substantial. Use two- or three-night bases and confirm transfers before adding another stop.

Weather differs within every region. Mountain, desert, tropical and plateau extensions need their own date-specific checks.

Arrival gateway, mobility, food interests and hotel style should determine the final sequence.
