Prepare for a smooth and unforgettable journey through China with these essential travel tips, covering everything from visas to dining safety.
Make sure your visa is valid for the entire stay. Double-check if you need multiple entries when visiting Hong Kong or Macau.
High-speed trains are efficient and convenient. Download apps like Didi for ride-hailing in major cities.
English is not widely spoken. Learn basic Mandarin phrases or use translation apps like Pleco or Google Translate.
Mobile payments dominate. Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay. Cash is still handy in rural areas or small shops.
Street food is delicious but choose busy, clean vendors. Always drink bottled or boiled water to stay safe.
