I know it's a long way offf but am taking my first trip to china in november and have a few questions as im trying to get what clothing i may need early!!!

I was wondering what sort of luggage is the most appropriate with this holiday ie a suitcase, back packing rucksack etc.

Is thermals recommended this time of year?

i'm slightly anxious about wanting to take the right stuff so any suggestions would be great.

thanks

I would recommend a regular suitcase on wheels as you will be travelling around a bit on this holiday. A backpack is always a good idea on holiday, as you can fill them with the things you need for day trips, such as water, camera, jumper and so on.

China is cold in November - it's likely to be less than 10 degrees Celsius and possibly below zero at times, so I would definitely take a warm coat and some jumpers. Maybe it's not quite cold enough for thermals but by all means take them if you think you need them.

Kind regards
