Madurai

India

Madurai suits those who like culture and history, and can handle basic facilities. Not for those seeking modernity or convenience. Best time to visit is November to February for cooler weather. Budget around 500-800 CNY. Short travel time between districts, but public transport isn't great—taxis or motorbikes recommended. Must-see: Meenakshi Amman Temple and Mangalagiri Hill. Skip Gandhi Museum—it's small and outdated. Don’t park randomly in the city center, you’ll get a ticket.
