Quick question for the China regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.
