In September 2025 my wife and I spent just over 3 week in China, her first time back to her home country in 2 years and my third trip there, having been in 2017 and 2018. We spent most of our time in my wife’s home city of Chengdu, while also visited the nearby cities of Chongqing and Guiyang. This post is a collection of my thoughts and opinions on the places we visited, along with some photos I took during the trip.
