      Hey! It was t-shirt weather during the hikes, while temp dropped to below 10C in early morning and nights. It was relatively clear with a couple of fluffy clouds. No falling snow during sept but you might see fallen snow at certain peaks, eg mount titlis. Have a good trip!

    Hello fellow SGrean! I'm planning a solo to SW and just booked my accoms too. Was surprised by how much you spent on accoms, did you mostly stay in dorms? May I know how you managed to save on food costs as well?

    • @shermainemaxinepang
      @shermainemaxinepang 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello!! Yes, i mostly stayed in dorms, sharing with other lady backpackers. The list of accoms are listed in the description box, not sure if the rates increased since it has been a couple of years. I mostly get convenient food from their supermarket and heat them up in the dorm pantry. I think i only ate in proper resturant once, the rest were convenient food and savouring them while enjoying in nature. Also brought a couple of canned food from sg and ate together with my instant noodles.

    Hi nice video! I’m going on a solo trip this september as well. Do you know what kind of clothes I should bring? It’s hard cause I’m staying 3 nights at a hut in the mountains so I guess it could be cold but. But maybe at the lower villages it’s warmer.

    • @shermainemaxinepang
      @shermainemaxinepang 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Marleen! In Sept, even at the lower altitudes it gets cold in the morning and once the sunsets. Would be great to have layers on since you might be exposed to different temps. At least theres an option to peel off or add on accordingly rather than 1 thick and heavy coat. Def go for light & wind resistant jackets since you might be on the move! Stay safe and have a great trip!!

      Yes I highly encourage this route! I believe there are much more to the silk road than what I experienced... I spent about a day or 2 in each area, depending how much time is needed for each attraction or if the activity is weather dependent and if I really dont want to miss the activity, I would spend 2 days at least.

      Hi Chris, i've added the itinerary in the description box. Regarding the swiss pass, I did my calculations before purchasing and it was comparable, but I decided to go for it because it gave me the convenience instead of purchasing tickets each time. Even so, during my trip I made some changes and decided to hop onto the ferry in Lake Zurich which swiss pass got me covered.

      Hello, you can start by researching the route and select places which you would like to visit. In China, silk road starts/end at Xi'an and it extends to the extreme west of China and over to neighboring countries. Depending on your budget you can choose to just explore the route in China only, like what I did, or you can also visit the neighboring countries. And you can again choose flight or train depending on your budget or time. For 12 days, I spent about SGD3.5K inclusive of 4 flights, 1 bullet train, private driver each province, accommodation and food. Drop me a mail if you need more information, shermainepang@gmail.com :)
