The Traveler’s Question We...

/

When your vacation dates are fixed, choosing the best time to visit China becomes less about finding the “perfect month” and more about choosing the best of the windows you actually have.

/

A solo female traveler planning a short trip through western Sichuan asked a question that sounds simple at first: Should I rent a car and drive around western Sichuan by myself, or would joining a tour be a better idea?
