Hello!

I am planning my trip for my China's next month 2 week holiday, and I have issues in finding/booking tickets. Either some sites (https://bookingticket.dpm.org.cn/) are not showing me any available tickets, either they are purely in chinese. I would love some recommendations for the following objectives:

Shanghai:

\- Yu Garden

\- Shanghai Tower

Zhangjiajie:

\- National Forest Park

\- Tianzi Mountain

\- Tianmen Mountain

\- Glass Bridge + Canyon

Chongqing:

\- Cruises on the river

Chengdu:

\- admission tickets for the Panda Reservation

Xi'An:

\- Teracotta Army

Beijing:

\- Forbidden City

\- Tiananmen Square

\- Summer Palace

\- Temple of Heaven

If there is any place that you can redirect me to so that I can figure it out on my own, I'm more than happy!

Thanks a lot and wish you a wonderful day ahead!

Hello everyone! In november I will be visiting Egypt (Cairo + Luxor) together with my girlfriend.
I am trying to plan the trip so that we can pre-book (if needed) the attractions, or guides.

This is what I have managed to get so far:

Date	Activity
18 nov.	Flight OTP 12:45 AM > CAI 3:30 AM
Flight CAI 7:15 AM > LXR 8:25 AM
Karnak Temple
Luxor Temple at night
19 nov.	Valley of the Kings
Tutankhamun Tomb
Ramses V/VI Tomb
Temple of Hatshepsut
Colossi of Memnon
Medinet Habu
20 nov.	Dendera
Felucca Cruise
21 nov.	Flight LXR 9:25 AM > CAI 10:35 AM
Al-Azhar
Al-Muizz Street
Khan el-Khalili
22 nov.	Giza Plateau
Inside Pyramid
Grand Egyptian Museum
23 nov.	Citadel of Saladin
Hanging Church
Al-Azhar Park
24 nov.	Egyptian Museum Tahrir
Zamalek
25 nov.	Flight CAI 4:30 AM > OTP 7:20 AM

I am not sure if I have split them ok based on the time needed for each activity, so any help is more than welcome. The only things that we have booked so far are the flights.

At the same time, on 22nd will be my girlfriend's birthday. We will be spending it in Cairo, so for any recommendation of a nice activity / restaurant that is really worth it I will be more than grateful.

Also, if I have missed anything crucial, please tell me.

Thanks a lot!

Hello!

I am looking to book some flights through China Eastern and I am looking at the luggage. They seem to allow a checked luggage and one carry one. The carry one is only one, or is it a carry on trolley for example together with a backpack? I travel with a small trolley and a backpack.

Thank you!

Hello! So, Bucharest-Beijing flights will become available in sept, so me and my girlfriend ended up booking some round-trip flights from Beijing on 12 september (landing at 8 in the morning in Beijing) and take off from Beijing on 28 september (00:30, so we might as well say 27 september at night).

After a quick look on skyscanner I have managed to map some internal flights:

Date	Action
12 sept.	Flight Bucharest - BeijingArrive Beijing 08:20
Flight Beijing - Xi'an10:00 - 11:55
13 sept.	Xi'An
14 sept.	Fligh Xi'An - Chengdu20:50 - 22:25
15 sept.	Chengdu
16 sept.	Chengdu
17 sept.	Train Chengdu - Chongqing09:30 - 11:01
18 sept.	Chongqing
19 sept.	Chongqing - Hong Kong11:20 - 13:50
20 sept.	Hong Kong
21 sept.	Hong Kong
22 sept.	Hong Kong - Shanghai08:05 - 10:40
23 sept.	Shanghai
24 sept.	Shanghai - Beijing10:15 - 12:20
25 sept.	Beijing
26 sept.	Beijing
27 sept.	BeijingHead to airport around 20:00
28 sept.	Beijing departure 00:30

We have no idea what to visit where, except the fact that we would like to visit the main attractions (The Great Wall, Summer palace, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Terracotta Army). We are oscillating between Hong Kong and Zhangjiajie, we don't know what is more worth it.

Is the above plan decent? Should we allocate more days / less days for any of the cities?
Also, any tips are more than welcome. I know that I need to have vpn and an esim, and specific apps to use (navigation, payment and so on) but that's where all my knowledge about a future China trip is ending.

Thanks a lot!

Hello! I have a pretty chaotic lifestyle. I find myself going to sleep at 1, or 2 in the morning, or even at 10 or 11 pm on some days...

I feel the most productive in the morning, but I end up waking up late and exhausted. If I wake up early, I feel pretty good..

I have one big question that is bothering me. From a health-related point of view, what is better - to have a constant sleep schedule, even if it is only 6-6.5 hours, same wake up and sleep hour, or to sleep 8-8.5 hours a day but in a chaotic manner, with no constant wake up or sleep time targeted?

Thank you!

Hello! All my life I've been listening to music on plain old YouTube. For the past months (since I have changed my car) I have switched to YTMusic for using it with Android Auto and I am surprised... When in the car, it's enough to just pick a song, then I get an AMAZING PLAYLIST with songs that I've never heard before, I love them, it's just a pleasure. However, when at home, and opening youtube music... I pick a song and the whole playlist is composed just of the same old songs that I've been playing for a while...

What the ... is this? How can I switch it also on the desktop version to give the same recommendations and work like in the car? It's like I'm using two different applications.

Thanks a lot, any help is appreciated!
