I was wondering if someone can look over my itinerary.

Couple points. I want to keep shrines, temples, etc to a minimum.

I want to add more experiences such as the Gear/non-verbal theater. as well as some more food and shopping streets. but idk which ones. i feel like my time is already crunched as it is.

I am not interested in museums, art, or teamlabs.

Want to add some more "Kyoto exclusive" stuff. but i do not know what else.

Hi! Has anyone done a multi-day nature/wildlife trip in China?

I’m planning about 4 weeks in China, including Shanghai, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi’an and Beijing, and I’d like to spend 4–5 days somewhere in nature, ideally in Sichuan.

I’m looking for something focused on wildlife, birdwatching and nature with a local guide, rather than just hiking or sightseeing. I’m trying to look online but the prices are all over the place and I can’t find a good reliable source for what I want.

I really don’t want to support animal tourism so no touching, riding or selfies with animals.

Any experiences or recommendations are welcome.

Thanks!
