China trip report — 7 days
Arrived and got settled quickly. Had a driver arranged. Hotel was basic but good location.
Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Got some good intel from a local.
Days 3-3: Found my favorite spots. Found my rhythm. The downtown area was the sweet spot.
Prices: $50-80 per session. Better deals during the week.
Tips: Get a local SIM on arrival.
Return? 100% — saving up already.

Word of caution — avoid the main tourist traps. Other than that, great destination.

Good info. I'd add that the afternoon is the best time to go.
