Hi, folks! Apologies for not finding a China-wide MB thread, but figured I would post this from the China forum, as well, to get a wide variety of opinions.
I loved my time in Shanghai, so I知 thinking of taking a longer trip at some point later this year with a real visa. My biggest passion in travel is visiting different hotels, so I always stay at a different hotel every night. Luckily, China seems to have no shortage of Marriott properties to try. I知 looking for opinions on different cities to either make sure to visit or to avoid. If it matters, I知 very visibly a Westerner with no Chinese language skills (sadly). Outside of hotels, I enjoy walking around cities, parks, shopping malls, etc, to observe the day-to-day culture and feel of a city.
As mentioned, I have been to Shanghai (which I would love to visit again), Hong Kong, and Macau. I definitely want to visit Beijing and Shenzhen. Presumably, I should also visit Guangzhou from Shenzhen. Other cities I知 seeing with lots of hotel options seem to include:
- Changsha
- Changzhou
- Chengdu
- Chongqing
- Fuzhou
- Haikou
- Hangzhou
- Huzhou seems to have a circular Sheraton
- Nanjing
- Nanning
- Ningbo
- Qingdao
- Sanya? I知 not a huge resort person, but maybe Hainan is worth visiting?
- Shenyang
- Suzhou
- Tianjin
- Wenzhou
- Wuhan
- Xi誕n
- Xiamen
- Zhongshan
