The best time to visit China is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) seasons. The weather is mild, and you can avoid the extreme temperatures of summer and winter. Autumn is especially popular due to the colorful foliage and comfortable temperatures.
Yes, most travelers need a visa to enter China. You can apply for a traditional tourist visa (L visa) at your nearest Chinese embassy or consulate. In some cases, an e-visa is available for specific regions, such as the Hainan province, which allows easier and quicker entry. However, the e-visa option is limited and not available for all regions in China. It’s essential to check the latest requirements and availability based on your nationality and destination.
China is generally a very safe country for tourists. Petty theft can happen in crowded areas, so it’s advisable to keep an eye on your belongings. The country also has a reliable healthcare system, and travel insurance is recommended.
The official currency of China is the Renminbi (RMB), also known as the Yuan (CNY). Major cities accept credit cards in hotels, restaurants, and larger stores, but it’s recommended to carry cash, especially in rural areas and for small purchases.
While English is taught in schools, fluency varies across the country. In major cities and tourist areas, you’ll find English speakers, especially in hotels and tourist attractions. However, in rural areas, English is less common, so it’s helpful to learn some basic Mandarin phrases or use a translation app.
Some must-see attractions include the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an, the Li River in Guilin, and the modern skyline of Shanghai. Natural wonders like Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and the Yellow Mountains are also popular.
In China, respect for elders and authority is important. When giving or receiving items, use both hands. Tipping is not customary, and you should avoid discussing sensitive topics like politics. Learning a few cultural norms can go a long way in ensuring a pleasant experience.
Chinese cuisine is diverse, with each region offering unique flavors. From Peking duck in Beijing to Sichuan spicy dishes, there’s something for every palate. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, but it’s advisable to learn the names of common ingredients or carry a translated note to explain dietary restrictions.
China has an extensive transportation network, including high-speed trains, domestic flights, and buses. In cities, taxis, subways, and rideshare apps like Didi are convenient. It’s recommended to have your destination written in Chinese characters for easier communication with drivers.
Pack according to the season and region you’re visiting. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring cities and historical sites. If visiting rural areas or during colder months, layered clothing is recommended. Don’t forget essentials like a power adapter, as China uses Type A, C, and I plugs, and some medications as certain brands may not be available locally.

To enter China, visitors must have valid passports, visas, and any necessary certificates or documents. An “Entry Card” is usually provided on flights or ships before arrival, which must be completed and submitted at the Frontier Inspection Station. If you have items to declare, you’ll need to fill out a declaration form before passing through customs. Chinese Customs may also conduct inspections upon arrival. We recommend checking the Chinese embassy’s website in your home country for more detailed information on entry regulations.
Most hotels in China offer free Wi-Fi, but you can also find Wi-Fi at various internet cafes. Rates may vary depending on the location and provider. Your tour guide can help if you have any questions. Please note that websites like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are not accessible in China. To avoid communication issues, consider setting up an alternative email service before your trip.
