I wish to stop going to both countries. Seriously, visited the unvisited or rarely visited ones (I loved Seychelles. The islands are beautiful!) I want them to go back to Australia for some reason. Haven't been there in a long time.

I want them to stop going to Beijing and Shanghai. China is such a big country but only 4 cities have been visited (Gulin, Shanghai, Beijing, Xian)

Hong Kong and Macau don't count?
What irks me is that while China feels overused, it really isn't. Lots of big cities and cultures to visit. In my opinion, it's okay to revisit a city after about 10 installments has elapsed. That's why Beijing in TAR 10 felt refreshing, but TAR 14's visit just dragged. In addition, part of the reason why some countries/cities feel overused is that TAR now spends the second and third to last legs in one place. For instance, revisiting Shanghai in Leg 10 would have been nice to see. But why spend Leg 11 there? Just been there, seen there, done that. It's also egregious that TAR didn't decide to visit Hanzhou, Huzhou, or Nanjing, interesting cities which are only an hour away.
Same goes for India (though TAR was usually good to find some place new until TAR 12) and Thailand.
OTOH, TAR has been good at revisiting some countries, while managing to create distinct legs that focus on different aspects of the nation's culture. The best example is definitely France, which has hosted 7 legs to date. However, Paris has only been visited twice, while the other legs took place in other areas and were unique in their own ways. Other good examples are Italy, Australia, and Brazil.

My bad. :lol:
I agree. I live about 1-2 hrs drive from Shanghai and here there are so many Chinese Gardens to visit (even though it isn't good now due to numerous construction sites. :P) and theres Hangzhou and West Lake, TianJin, Harbin (Ice sculptures), Some minorities in Yunnan and lots more. What were getting is only a small piece of the pie. Like Guilin in TAR 14 was okay because it did show the Scenery but China has so much more to offer then what we're getting in Tar.
