Q: Where to go this October!!!
During that week off in October, does anyone here recommend somewhere to go not F-ing crowded? I wanna try somewhere in that esert place to the west or sichuan maybe?
Also I like history crap but not these recently built Chinese stuff, if it's historical I'd perfer it wasn't rebult 20-10 years ago liuke the great wall. (Yeah gonna be difficult to find hee I know)
5 years 32 weeks ago in Transport & Travel - China
I will go back to Saipan, may live there, free medicare for all paid by the sucker taxpayers on the main land regardless on income and a flat 9 percent income tax, should have lived there 30 years ago. No winter ever, what's not to like?
You want to go to some deserted place? During Chinese week-long holidays?
Best place to stay during Chinese holidays is your apartment ...
This is '8-years-of-China' experience talking to you! 
Travel around China before or after the Chinese holidays ...
I know what you mean, I like the historical stuff too but everywhere I went that was old and should have been cool was ruined by being 'rebuilt' (the wall) or 'improved' (some of the old temples I saw that were decorated with tacky plastic shit so it looks like a theme park).
I agree with icnif, trying to go anywhere during a public holiday is frustrating and horrible, anywhere of interest - and therefore popular - will have you rubbing shoulders with a plague of domestic tourists following their tour guides who will be screaming at them through a megafone and acting like, well...domestic tourists.
Day or overnight trips near where you live are probably your best bet, that or head out to Xinjiang where Chinese don't go.
I can't reply to the message above ^ I dunno why. Yeah exactly I don't want that stuff. I would go to xinjiang to be honest, but would they allow a foreigner going there? Not sure about all the security and camps and crap is real but would it be fine?
Stiggs:
I don't know, think it depends on what's going on there at the time.
XJ is about the only place in China I would still like to see, before they finish destroying what's left of the history and culture. I tried to go there twice, both times there was some sort of 'incident' and they closed the doors to tourists.
icnif77:
I am sure you can get info about entry to Xinjiang at PSB in your city. I was there in 2013 and entry to the Province was without problems with cops ramps/stops (ID check) at every few kilometers.
Kasghar, Korla&Turpan are on my list. I plan to hit Pakistan (Embassy-visa-again!) and I want to do bus ride over Karakoram pass from Paki side (Gilgit) and rest in Xinjiang ...
Travel during domestic holidays is bump in every foreign country. I had to postpone my Turkey/Syria border trip 'cause I could get first departure ticket from Istanbul only by the end of week-long holidays.
I will go back to Saipan, may live there, free medicare for all paid by the sucker taxpayers on the main land regardless on income and a flat 9 percent income tax, should have lived there 30 years ago. No winter ever, what's not to like?
