17 Night Trip Itinerary - Feasibility?
Hi all,
I'm currently planning a trip to China. The plan will be to spend 17 nights on the mainland and i'm tossing up options. I feel like i'm trying to do too much and I guess I'm seeking validation on this and potentially thoughts on which places I should consider trimming (or maybe not?).
The ambitious plan is as follows:
* 1 - 2 (2 nights) Shanghai
(Train - 1 hour)
* 3 - 4 (2 nights) Hangzhou
(Plane - 2.5 hours)
* 4 - 6 (3 nights) Xi'an
(Train - 4 hours)
* 7 - 9 (3 nights) Chengdu
(Fly)
* 10 - 12 (3 nights) Zhangjiajie
(Train - 7 hours)
* 13 - 15 (3 nights) Yangshuo
(Train - 3.5 hours)
* 16 - 17 (2 nights) Hong Kong
Please feel free to be brutal. I think I just need some guidance about what I should just let go.
Also, if you think there's a spot I've given too much time to (or not enough), that would be good to know as well :)
