Your Essential China Travel Checklist

Preparing a journey to China? It's a land of ancient wonders and modern marvels. However, you'll find that things here—from local customs to getting around—are quite different from what you might be used to back home.

  • In China, online payment and QR code scanning are the main payment methods.
  • The national railway system is operated by a single state-owned company, which runs an app called 12306, the official channel for purchasing train tickets.
  • Google is inaccessible in China. However, you can use it normally if you use a foreign SIM card with roaming services. If you use a Chinese SIM card, a VPN is required.
  • There are special requirements for power banks on domestic flights in China, so you need to prepare in advance.
  • Foreign travelers require a special permit to enter Tibet.

That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive travel checklist. It’s designed to help you plan every step, ensuring you don’t overlook any crucial details for a smooth and unforgettable adventure.
