Before the itinerary

China stayed with me through contrasts: enormous cities and silent gardens, mountains and entire neighborhoods lit up at night. It is a journey that begins before departure, with apps, payments and addresses prepared.

The six stops

Beijing opens with history. Shanghai brings the future; Hangzhou, a pause around the water. Chongqing changes the perspective with its verticality. Chengdu slows down, and Wulong closes the route with nature on a monumental scale.

What to prepare

Install and configure Alipay and WeChat Pay before traveling. Save addresses in Chinese and leave some room in the itinerary: distances within giant cities always take longer than they look.
