Travel Tips for China

If you are visiting China for the first time, I would recommend the following cities: Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an; if you want to get to know the cultural side of China: Beijing (the capital of China), Xi'an (a historical city); if you like good food and a social rhythm: Guangzhou (for a lighter palate), Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing (for a heavier palate, spicy); if you want to be international: Shanghai (the largest city of China), Hangzhou (a technologically advanced city), Shanghai (the largest city of China). Shanghai (the largest city in Mainland China), Hangzhou (technologically bustling).

Cell phone software download: We recommend downloading Alipay, a mobile payment app. In today's Chinese society, almost all payment scenarios have been covered by electronic payment, and Alipay now supports the binding of Visa cards, which can be used in all payment scenarios in China, large and small. At the same time in China by bus and subway, you can also directly use the QR code to ride.

Emergency numbers in China: 110 for police; 119 for fire; 120 for medical care; 122 for traffic accidents. It is recommended that you record the phone number of your country's embassy in China at the same time, just in case.

These are my personal suggestions, I hope you have a good time.

China travel time

Choosing your travel time is crucial. Peak travel times are usually during large holidays such as May Day and National Day, so it is recommended to avoid these crowded moments and wait until the off-season to travel. February to March and the end of fall and beginning of winter in November would be good choices.

Transportation Options

China has an extremely well-developed high-speed rail network that covers all major cities in the country, making it easy for travelers to visit popular attractions via high-speed rail. Inter-city bus and subway systems are equally convenient and easy to ride, allowing travelers to get to their destinations quickly.
