Ugh. His longest trip was to Japan, where he passed the 31,000-kilometer mark, but he spent most of the time travelling in China, which took eighteen weeks. Actually, I'm not sure I've reflected your meaning accurately-- you'll have to explain the temporal and geographical relationship of the Japan trip and China trip to me.

Actually, I have just realised that these two might be unrelated:
His longest trip was to Japan, in terms of kilometers. The longest in terms of the time he spent was to China.
His longest trip was to Japan, in terms of kilometers. The longest in terms of the time he spent was to China.

Mister Micawber,
If I change " where " to which/that ", is that possible ?
If not, why ?
Thank you

You could change it to in/during which if you like, but the style suffers-- if travel doesn't imply 'where', then nothing does.
