Suitcase too big??

DAVEC Points: Join Date: Apr 14, 2007 Status: offline	I will have a couple of train trips and some bus/coach rides in Yunnan, around Dali, Lijiang and Kunming and was wondering about size of suitcase to take. My current one is approx 76x60 cm and wanted to know if its too big. I have soft sleeper booked for the train so I dont think thats a problem but I have heard the buses are small and wont have room. My journey is 3 weeks so I do need to take large case ideally. Any help would be appreciated.

However, they are sometimes not very clean and your luggage will be bounced around a lot along the ride. Like Erencius has told you, an 80 liters backpack is about as much as you can carry and those are "super-sizeed" __WINDENERGY__
