Planning trip to China, Advice? (hexbear.net)

Hi all, my spouse and I are planning a trip to china this year for vacation, in October. I was hoping to field some advice on where to go exactly, what to see, and general advice on navigating while only understanding English. What apps should I install on my phone for payment, translation, etc.

Rough plan currently is to fly into Hong Kong/stay for 1-2 days. Train to Shenzhen for 1-2 days. Train to Beijing 1-2 days. Then fly back.

Not sure exactly what we want to see, yet. For sure, the Great Wall. Also want to take a super fast train to Beijing.

Happy to hear all your thoughts, thanks!

are you counting the travel days here? because four travel days on a six day trip is absolutely brutal, I'd stay longer someplace

This was my first thought. I had the chance of a fucking lifetime to be abroad alone for a while. I spent it in two places - a day trip to a hot spring and the rest of the time in an Airbnb. It was the absolute best.

Getting luggage around, no matter how you go from one place to the next, is a pain in the ass. I'd rather kind of vaguely know a place than the spark notes of 3 places.
