WHAT USUALLY DECIDES IT
These are the route questions people usually need answered first.
WarmSoft sceneryComfort
Is Guilin or Jiangnan the softer fit?
Guilin is more scenic; Jiangnan is easier when Shanghai access is fixed.
WHERE ROUTES GO WRONG
Treating soft scenery as a photo stop

Check whether the route should stay soft or add one harder scenic anchor.
If this world feels close but not settled, ask the route question before you protect the wrong city order or add too many dream stops.
