Start with the trip decision, then build the route.China trip planningA first-time China itinerary that leaves room for the trip itselfA good first trip to China gives every stop a clear role, counts transfers honestly, and protects the reservations that can shape the whole route.China trip planningHow many days do you need in China? Count the transfers first.Choose ten days for two cities with depth, or fourteen days for three contrasting stops with more buffer time. Ten days across three cities is a faster trip with less room to recover from transfers. If you want a four-day nature section as well as two major cities, fourteen days is the more flexible starting point. Count arrival, departure, and transfer days honestly in either option.
