That's my current Itinerary, I'm 20, I've done a solo trip to 9-10 countries already and will also be going to Japan for 3.5 weeks in the summer. I've learned a few things from my last trip, but I still definitely want more opinions, the things y'all told for my last trip was definitely helpful. My biggest question for this trip is, about china, should I cut it down to only 3 cities? I've done trip like this with short time in each city but how are these cities? Do they deserve more time? I was also looking to find trains between the chinese cities but I couldn't really find any good info. I would take morning or sleeper trains to maximize my time in the city exploring but I couldn't find anything helpful. I have all my flights/ transport booked just nothing for the time in europe and china. Any advice for train booking in china and my europe portion. Advice for any cities would be great, also is bratislava worth a visit, it's sooo much cheaper than vienna I'm honestly considering staying there a night or two.
