决策
从上海去桂林值得吗？
你在上海，正在考虑花4天绕道去桂林/阳朔。
推荐
如果你有4天以上的额外时间，并且想看风景，那就值得；如果是7天的首次旅行，建议跳过。
The options
| Option | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| 加入桂林 | 热爱自然、摄影爱好者，以及想欣赏喀斯特峰林和体验竹筏漂流、慢节奏旅行的游客。 | 增加4天；需乘飞机或21小时火车；4月至6月湿度较高。 |
| 跳过桂林 | 首次到访、以历史和美食为优先、不太在意风景的游客。 | 将错过中国最具代表性的山水景观。 |

Other Destinations decisions
Should I visit Beijing or Shanghai first?
Pick Beijing for a first trip with ≤7 days; pick Shanghai for repeat visits or food-focused trips.
Is Chengdu worth visiting?
Yes if you have 3+ extra days and care about food or animals; skip only if you're under time pressure.
Is Xi'an worth visiting on a 7-day trip?
Include Xi'an for 2 days if it's your first China trip — the Warriors and the city wall are unmatched.
Is Hong Kong worth adding to a mainland China trip?
Yes if you have 2+ days and want a decompression zone; Hong Kong counts as a "third country" for 240-hour transit re-entry.
Is the Great Wall at Mutianyu worth the extra effort?
Mutianyu for an authentic Wall experience; Badaling only if you have <4 hours in Beijing.
