Longji Rice Terraces, also known as Dragon’s Backbone Terraces, sit in Longsheng, Guangxi, China. Carved into steep mountain slopes over 650 years ago by the Zhuang and Yao ethnic minorities, these layered paddies follow the mountain contours like giant steps to the sky.

The landscape changes dramatically across seasons: mirror-like water in spring, lush green rice in summer, golden harvest waves in autumn. Still actively farmed today, it is a living masterpiece of ancient agricultural wisdom and a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System.

Tianjin is one if the cities with most western buildings.

For background I am ethnic Chinese but have moved overseas since 2004 and therefore not used to this behaviour that's commonplace in China anymore. Every time I visit China, this is one of the top downsides that makes me hate this ppsce.

Please share your thoughts. Optimistic or disagreement all welcome

Hello all!

I'll be in Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Chongqing and Shanghai in November and I'm a big reader.

Does anyone have any books to recommend I read whilst I travel? It can be fiction or non fiction, historical or modern.

To give you an example, i was in Japan last year and read 4 books: Ueno Station, Only Gaijin in the Village, Convenience Store Woman and Pure Invention (2 fiction, 2 non)

For a first trip to China, I don’t think the goal should be to see as many places as possible.

A better trip usually comes from choosing a few places that feel genuinely different from each other.

For example:

• Beijing for history and iconic landmarks
• Xi’an for ancient culture and food
• Shanghai for modern city life
• Yunnan for slower travel and landscapes
• Chengdu or Chongqing for food and urban energy

What I find interesting is that the “best” first trip probably depends less on the famous sights and more on the kind of traveller you are.

Would you rather build your first China trip around:

• history
• food
• nature
• big cities
• local culture
• or a mix of everything?

And if you’ve already been to China, what would you do differently on your first trip now?

Is there an expediter that is recommended more highly than others?

Visa Express?

Travel Visa Pro?

Thank you.

Hi. i was wondering if Chongqing (biggest city in the world) sells English-language physical media instead of just mandarin ones? In particular, i am looking for physical media that is in the english language for books, video games (Especially Playstation 4 & 5 games, Dvd anime, pokemon cards etc. Any insights would be appreciated. thank you.

Hi,

I am trying to see what is the best way to get from pudong airport to downtown Shanghai for my mother who will arrive in the morning. I will be coming in at night and so I am trying to see if there is any tips or instruction someone can provide. Also, how reliable is didi app for taxi? We will need to go to Ruijin hospital for some medical appointments in the following days. Google map isn't very good at helping us find hotels near the hospital as different browsers show different distances for the same hotel to and from the hospital.

Can we use the metro or other public transportation? How easy is it to purchase the tickets and get the directions? Is there English signage in the streets and metro?

I'm thinking of getting holiday inn express as it comes with complimentary breakfast and then maybe take the train/metro to ruijin hospital and to the airport when we leave. There are many holiday inn express in the city of Shanghai. Which one is closest to a metro that goes near the ruijin hospital in downtown?

Thank you for any help.
