Practical Checklist Transportation suggestions: Multi-city connections, high-speed rail/short-distance flight connections are recommended. Food tip: Avoid purely tourist streets and give priority to the combination of “locals queuing up shops + market stalls + time-honored brands”. Budget suggestion: It is more stable to allocate the budget according to "catering 35% / ticket experience 25% / transportation 20% / shopping 20%". Safety advice: Try to go together at night, and keep your ID and cash separately. Bonus points: Leave at least half a day unplanned to allow room for last-minute discoveries.
