Probably how friendly and helpful everyone was! I was expecting a bit more hostility, but most people were happy to help us, even with the language barrier.
What was the most memorable part of your trip?
Definitely standing on the Great Wall of China. It was amazing to finally be there after all the travel challenges we faced in Beijing.
What's your advice for someone planning a trip to China?
Download Apple Maps for public transport, book your train tickets well in advance, and be prepared for potential language barriers. But most of all, be open to unexpected adventures and embrace the kindness of the people you meet!
