I will be going for total 16 days
I will be staying in Beijing from October 17 to 21, Chengdu from October 21 to 23, Chongqing from October 23 to 26, Furong Town from October 26 to 27, Zhangjiajie from October 27 to 30, and Shanghai from October 30 to November 2.
Any addition or removal, also more days in Chengdu or Chongqing? Are 3 full days and 1 half day in Beijing enough?

Howdy!
Solo female traveler. I'm heading to Mongolia for the second time, but first time solo. I've only ever been through Istanbul airport to get there, so I'm unclear on how Hong Kong does things. Obviously it's an airport like any other, but I have some other caveats.
I have a 21 hour layover, I'll land at sometime around 7-8-9, and then take off the next day at 6pm.
I've never had a layover longer than 4 hours.
My plan is to go get a female only hostel bed, sleep until 7am their time, go out for some street photography at Goldfish street and the Bird market. Then head back to the airport around 1-3.
Is that enough time?? I'm scared I'm gonna miss the plane. haha.

Hey guys! Hope you're well
Solo traveler here, and am trying to pick out 2 cities in the US, between late July/ early August, that would be quite enjoyable to visit and do lots in! (Within 4 days)
So far, I've chosen New York (NYC) and California (still deciding on the city!)
But nothing is set in stone and I'm seeing lots of positive things about Chicago - but wondering whether I should replace that with New York City as I have heard they can be quite similar
THINGS TO NOTE:
Added bonus points for diversity! But really not picky at all - open to suggestions!!!
Thank you, and have a good one!
Cheers x

Hey guys,
I’ve been seeing a lot of mixed things online about India not being safe for tourists, so I’m kinda curious what it’s actually like.
Has anyone here traveled to India? How was it honestly?
Did you face any unsafe or uncomfortable situations?
Hello! My family is planning a trip for early September of this year. We’re from Arizona so we’re used to warmer weather. I’m looking at moving to London and want to visit The London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martins while I’m there. We’re going to the Making of Harry Potter tour which my mom and I have seen before and both loved it but haven’t decided on a company to book with. We’d like to book a tour as well to see some sights for my dad as well as a Thames River cruise and the London Eye. Any restaurants, tour companies, tips, or things you might recommend as well would be helpful. We’re staying at The Queen’s Gate Hotel in Kensington for five days which my mom and I stayed at before. My mom and I also had tea at Fortnum and Mason and went shopping at Piccadilly Circus. I’m huge into fashion as well as British history. My dad isn’t terribly interested in England but he does like stuff on World War II. I’d love to know what the weather might be like, what to wear, what not to wear (also to not stick out like sore thumbs), behavior to avoid to cause us not to stick out like sore thumbs or be targeted by pickpockets, travel advice, hidden gems, or suggestions on things we might like. I really love to experience the culture when I stay somewhere. Thank you so much!

My fiancé and I are trying to decide where to have our post-wedding trip. We're getting married in August and honeymooning in mid/late September. We've had some general ideas (Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, New Zealand), but also thought to ask around to see what others recommend. My fiancé has a British passport, I have a U.S. passport; we're both historically knowledgable. In addition to English, fiancé speaks German, I speak French.
Here are our confines:
-No European locations (I used to be a Europe-based travel writer!)
-Dietary restrictions: I've been on the pescatarian / vegetarian spectrum for the last 20 years. Fiancé is vegan but can move to vegetarian while traveling. Both of us want to be immersed in culture, but red meat and chicken is a hard no. That being said, we LOVE to eat, so we'd love to go somewhere where we can explore the native cuisine without a ton of substitutions or fuss.
-Budget: We've done a lot of traveling, which usually involves packed itineraries and sacrifices in comfort, but for a trip of this nature, we want a level of "vacation" that our travel usually doesn't involve. As such, we'd like to stay at 4-5 star hotels, be able to access comfortable transportation, and have some nice meals out. The exact dollar amount of our budget is unclear (waiting on wedding gifts and all that), but probably somewhere in the $5-7k range.
-Cultural aspects: we are both pretty serious about art, design, architecture, music. While the trip will be more relaxed than most, we both actively want to learn a lot. We're both academics with strong history knowledge, and really want to engage with the culture and people of the places we visit. We want to go somewhere with a lot of culture, but we don't want to spend a ton of time in a chaotic urban center.
-Environment: Waterfront would be ideal (lake, ocean, river, etc.). Ultra-hot is a no-go for me. We can deal with cold. We love beautiful nature, but aren't super gung-ho about backpacking or rock climbing or anything like that.
Any recommendations? Some of my favorite places I've been have been Croatia, Scotland, maritime Canada, French Riviera.
Our current ideas include Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand, Vietnam, Brazil. Open to hearing about anywhere! And open to visiting 2-4 locations in one trip!
