Traveling somewhere with plein-air painting as a primary purpose requires an itinerary definitely different from a typical sightseeing trip.  For one thing, in a totally new environment in a foreign country, it normally takes a day or two just to know the ropes.  So something as simple as finding a good place to paint that's safe and convenient to get to can be a big task.  After spending some time scouting for such a place and managing a painting or two, chances are that a good part of a day is already gone and perhaps you're too tired to go sightseeing or shopping.

In Yangshuo County, a popular destination in the northeast Guangxi Province in China, I stayed for some time just to paint.  That is, no rock climbing or cave tours for me, but I had a blast painting to my heart's content.  I painted from a balcony of my hotel room, by the river, on the street.  I even rented a bike to go deep into the coutryside for really marvelous rural landscapes.
