I and 2 friends are visiting China throughout the month of December, we will be staying over Christmas and one of my friends is hoping to stay in a nice chill place that hopefully has things like snow and nice scenery (basically a break from the bigger cities) and those kinds of things.

The problem is that we will be in North by then (not as far as Manchuria but mostly around Beijing), and I know that it is quite dry so not heaps of snow and I'm not sure if I will be able to find something that fits his image. If there is any places you recommend or even if you recommend taking a detour to somewhere as long as it's worth it, any recommendations are appreciated.

I've made a couple maps on the app so im pretty acquainted with the details and how to create a somewhat nice looking map, but something i've really struggled with on past projects and want to be better at on my new project is map scale. In the terms of how big should my map be. The size of earth seems way too big to make detailed, so how big do you guys usually map your full fantasy maps ?, the size of a continent like Africa ?, the size of Eurasia ?, the size of a country like China ?
