Hi, first time really writing a post anywhere but since everyone I know is currently asleep due to the China - UK time difference thought I’d try to get some advice here. So recently me and my friend planned a 3 week trip to China to which he was not able to make due to visa issues. As a result I’ve been solo here in beijing for 6 days now with the plan to go down to other places in China for the rest of the days. My issue is that so far I’ve not enjoyed this trip whatsoever, everything feels like a drag, having to leave my hotel by myself, ordering food where no one understands me etc. Of course I’ve tried to make the most of it seen all the main spots in Beijing took some cool photos but am considering cutting the trip short and going home early. On one hand I don’t want to leave early and regret it on the other I’m kind of tired of being miserable everyday here on my own. Any advice from people that have went through anything similar would be appreciated.
EDIT: Thanks to everyone who gave their advice I really appreciate it. I ended up deciding to stick it out for another week and will be finding another city in China to spend the rest of my time in. Thanks to all the suggestions I have a range to choose from.
