India

This city suits backpackers looking for a slow pace, not those wanting convenience or efficiency. Best time to visit is Nov-Feb for cool weather. Budget around 300-500 RMB. Traveling between areas takes time—rent a car or use local ride-hailing. Must-see: old market and riverside park for local vibe. Skip the new mall—it's over-commercialized. Avoid buying souvenirs from street vendors—they’re overpriced.
