China in 21 days - Guilin and Shanghai

China in 21 days - Guilin and Shanghai
Longji Rice Terrace
Back to 2016, travelling around China from one city to another.
From Beijing (北京) to the old capital city of Xi'an (西安) , then the beautiful rice terrasse in Guilin (桂林)/ Yangshuo County (阳朔县) and finally Shanghai (上海).

If I had to start over, I wouldn't travel to Shanghai and spend less time inside Xi'an city. Xi'an city can be visited in a single day. There is much more to explore outside the cities and if you are like me, a nature lover, you will discover much more beautiful places and hikes than staying in a high density city.
