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.
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?
