Yes.'s whirlwind one-week tour of China is a masterclass in ambitious travel. The editor highlights how this journey packs in jaw-dropping contrasts: Shanghai's futuristic Bund and food markets, the Avatar Mountains shrouded in winter mist (a clever tip for fewer crowds), Tianmen Mountain's dramatic 999 steps that magically clear of clouds, and Furong Ancient Town's impossibly romantic views. The Great Wall proves a tourist-heavy but essential stop, while Chongqing's concrete jungle and neon-lit Hongya Cave deliver the biggest surprise. Yes. candidly shares mixed food experiences—from weird chicken pots to questionable dog-on-menu moments—and practical insights on cheap taxis, easy train connections, and the value of business class upgrades.

One Week China Trip: Shanghai, Zhangjiajie, Great Wall & Chongqing
14:00 Visit Zhangjiajie in winter for fewer crowds. The mist creates a floating mountain effect, but be prepared for limited top views.
18:06 At Tianmen Mountain, wait for the clouds to clear. The weather shifts rapidly, rewarding patient visitors with spectacular stair views.
20:00 Furong Ancient Town offers incredible views. You don't need an expensive hotel—any nearby restaurant or balcony gives you the same scenery.
27:31 Hire a private driver for the Great Wall (about €50 round trip). It's efficient and saves time, especially if you only have one day in Beijing.
29:21 Chongqing is a concrete jungle worth exploring for a few days. The city's multi-level streets and neon districts like Digi World are unique.
32:40 China's infrastructure (trains, taxis, apps) makes last-minute booking easy. Taxis are cheap, so use them to maximize your time.

The chicken pot tasted very weird, and even the noodles were tasteless. There was also dog on the menu, which I wasn't a fan of.
Was the Great Wall worth visiting despite the crowds?
It was very busy and touristy, but you still have to see it. The slide down was too long of a wait, so we skipped it.
How was the weather at Zhangjiajie?
It was misty and rainy, which meant fewer tourists and a floating mountain effect. But the top views were limited.
