Hey all, I've been reading this sub for the last few months and it's been super helpful in helping me plan everything. I'm in China for two months from late-Feb to late-Apr.

Here's what I have so far, I'm looking for any and all recommendations on whatever you see fit: where I should go, how long I should stay, if I should travel in a different order, etc.

Month 1

Beijing: 5 days (fly to Zhangjiajie)

Zhangjiajie: 3 days

Chongqing: 3 days

Chengdu: 3 days

Xian: 2 days (fly to Dunhuang)

Dunhuang: 2 days

Turpan: 2 days

Urumqi: 2 days (fly to Kashgar)

Kashgar: 3 days (fly to HK)

Hong Kong: 5 days

Month 2

Guangzhou: 2 days

Yangshuo: 4 days

Kunming: 3 days

Dali: 3 days

Lijiang: 3 days

Shangri La: 3 days

Kunming: 1 day (fly to Lhasa)

Tibet: 7 days (overland tour, end in Kathmandu)

Some doubts / concerns I have around my itinerary:

• Visiting Xinjiang interests me, but is it too much moving around and flying? Three flights just to get to and from Xinjiang seems like a lot to me. If I skip Xinjiang, any ideas of what I should replace it with?

• Too many days in Dali / Lijiang / Shangri La? What else can I see if I take away some time here?

Thanks in advance!
