Im sorry if my request is rude

I'm gonna spend some years studying in Nanjing, and i kinda need a vpn recommendations that is more stable than the others.

I don't need it to be very fast or very stable since i'm only gonna use it for instagram, What's app, youtube, and probably downloading steam video games.

I know vpn is a hit or miss, but is there any student budget vpn that is frequently able to connect ?.

Hi everyone!

I’m a Chinese university student, and some of my friends are studying tourism and international communication. We love traveling and learning about different cultures.

Recently, we noticed that many foreigners are interested in visiting China, but planning a trip can be confusing:

Which cities should you visit?

How should you plan your route?

How do you use transportation in China?

What places are actually worth visiting?

How can you experience the local side of China instead of only tourist attractions?

So we want to help!

If you are planning to visit China (or just interested in China travel), feel free to comment:

Where are you from?

When are you planning to visit China?

What kind of experience do you like? (food, history, nature, culture, photography, nightlife, etc.)

We can share some local suggestions and help you create a better itinerary.

No advertising, just hoping to help more people understand the real China and have a better travel experience. 😊

I've spent the last few months trying to dial in my setup for a month‑long trip through China, and the biggest headache has always been the charging mess in my bag. I have a pair of Meta Wayfarers but they die in like 3 to 4 hours of actual use, so I end up bringing a power bank anyway. Great for snapping photos, not so great for traveling light.

I've been looking into camera‑free alternatives with better battery life. Both Dymesty and Even Reality G2 looked promising with the 48‑hour claim, but G2 reviews sound brutal with constant connectivity drops and buggy software. Dymesty with no camera, this seems like it would make things smoother in temples and museums where people get uncomfortable around recording devices.

Has anyone actually used them on a longer trip? And did anyone give you a hard time about wearing them?

Hello! Next month I’m taking a solo trip to Chengdu, Chongqing, and Guiyang, hotpot is definitely high of my list of things to try.

How is it getting hotpot as a solo traveller? I know it’s geared towards group dining, but would I be okay doing it solo?

What’s the best way of finding a driver to take us to the Jinshanling wall for sunrise, wait for us while we walk, and take us back to Beijing? We looked at didi but lots of people look to say there’s no didi available for the return and they ended up getting the train. We’d rather not do that and just know that we have a driver waiting. Date will be October 12th. Thanks!
