My friend and I are going to be in Shanghai for work. We have an extra 6 days - tell me if this is a ridiculous itinerary.

Discussion

We enjoy getting off the beaten path and enjoy connecting with locals, local food and drink (beer) and a bit of adventure.

Once work is done, plan is to get sleeper train from Shanghai to Chongqui.

Chongqing - 2 days / 1 night

Train to Emeishan - 1 night

Next day Climb Mt Emei then train to Chengdu that night.

3 night Chengdu then fly back to Shanghai/home.

I wanted to spend a few night relaxing/partying in Chengdu, but that would leave us only one night in Chongqing.

Thoughts?
