Loved this !! Do you recommend any app In particular to use to find the locations you visited in this trip?

Yes! For popular cafes / restaurants, I looked for spots on Xiaohongshu (小红书)--it's Chinese social media though, so if you don't read Chinese, you might need to do a lot of translating back and forth. Otherwise I used a combination of Gaode Maps (高德地图), which is only in Chinese, and Apple Maps for English when I was really struggling 😅
