I first visited China back in July 2023, solo travelling 5 cities starting in Hong Kong then Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai and Maoming also been back twice on business to Shenzhen since, had amazing experiences while there and loved the culture and want to learn more.

This is part 2 of my planned China trip, Chengdu was not originally part of my plan but so many Chinese I got to know suggested I should visit there so I now am. I especially want to visit Xi'an to see the Terracotta Army, a life goal for me as well as visiting the Great Wall of China near Beijing.

I will be meeting back up with friends in the first two cities Hong Kong and Zhuhai and then solo travelling the rest of the way, I am happy to travel solo for the rest of the journey but I would be open to have a companion through out as well, the whole trip is already planned and paid for, still need to arrange visiting the Terracotta Army in Xi'an and the Great Wall of China while in Beijing.

So, the main reason I created this account is for my time I plan to spend in Shanghai, I enjoy visiting new cities but a city landscape is not at the top of my list, prefer older more historical sites but I have a cultural interest in Shanghai from a British perspective. I have read that Shanghai is known for its high quality offerings of a traditional British Afternoon Tea and I am really curious of the fusion between British and Chinese culture and how the new flavours that could bring.

I will arrive in Shanghai on Monday 2nd March and plan to book an Afternoon Tea in Tuesday 3rd March, I will then travel on to Beijing the following day. Afternoon Tea is for two people so I am looking for someone to join me, I will book and pay for it all, would be great if I could find someone willing to turn up at the venue, experience an afternoon tea and we can then go our separate ways.

I have started learning Chinese but I am a long way from being able to have a conversation yet but working on it, I have no concerns in travelling through China solo, figured everything out in my first trip but will be happy to look at travelling with someone if anyone is interested.

Thank you for taking a look!
