Where would you spend the last few days of Golden Week (October 5–7)?

🗺️ Trip Reports & Itineraries

I'm trying to decide where to spend the last few days of Golden Week (October 5–7) and would really appreciate your advice.

At the moment, I'm considering:

  • Inner Mongolia (Hohhot and surrounding areas)
  • Tianjin
  • Lanzhou
  • Shenyang

This will be my second visit to China. Earlier this year, I traveled during the Chinese New Year (I was based in Shanghai), so i have a good idea of what to expect in terms of crowds. Because of that, I'm not necessarily trying to avoid people altogether, I just want to choose the destination that offers the best overall experience during the tail end of Golden Week.

Which of these destinations - or perhaps another one - would you recommend, and why?
