Zhengzhou is the most convenient starting point for your trip, as most international flights land there. --- Kaifeng (开封) Known as Dongjing (东京) during the Northern Song (北宋) era, Kaifeng was the world's most prosperous city—a golden age captured in the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. Beneath the city lies the "City upon City" (城摞城): six dynasties buried atop one another by Yellow River floods, yet each rebuilt on the exact same spot for over 1,000 years. The legendary official Justice Bao (包青天) is so revered in Kaifeng that people wore away his name on a stone stele by touching it through the ages. Today, two immersive theme parks bring history to life: Wansui Mountain (万岁山) and Qingming Riverside Park (清明上河园)—where visitors step into the Song Dynasty as NPCs, living their own stories within a living painting. In Kaifeng, you don't just watch history—you ...

Itinerary A little orientation to my itinerary. Chengdu was our central base, with Jiuzhaigou to the north, Leshan to the south, and Siguniangshan to the west.

Guizhou When I was telling my friends that I am going to Guizhou, many asked "Where is it?  What is there to see in Guizhou?", some asked "Go Guizhou eat Luo Si Fen (螺蛳粉)?"  "Drink Mao Tai (茅台)?"  Guizhou is an under rated place and not too familiar/ popular with foreigners.  For my entire trip, I only encountered local domestic travelers.  While other provinces in China were developing and prospering, Guizhou was one of the poorest province (4th lowest GDP) in China. Due to Guizhou 90% mountainous terrain, it was almost an inaccessible place till 2015 when the government started to develop Guizhou.  There are 2 very significant areas of development in Guizhou: 1) Data hub and  2) Infrastructure Data hub:  Today, Guizhou is one of the highest number of mega data centers in the world.  Apple, Huawei, Tencent etc have established their cloud computing and big-data centers.  With these development, it has propelled Guizhou up to top growth ...
