Mobile payment in China is really convenient. I strongly recommend downloading Alipay or WeChatPay, and you can open an account with your passport. Almost everywhere supports QR code payment, from star hotels to street stalls.

Its safety index is very high compared to many countries. Even walking around at night in cities feels safe, violent crime against tourists is hardly ever. Lonely Planet also notes that China is a safe city and very tourist‑friendly, especially Beijing！

Beyond safety, Chinese people were warm and welcoming everywhere you went if you respected cultural norms. Internations has reported that Chinese society is very welcoming and that locals are friendly to foreigners!

Millions of tourists visit China yearly without issues. if you want to have a chain trip, come on, and enjoy the amazing food, history, and sights!

It depends!

1. Most travelers need a visa.
If you’re visiting for tourism, you’ll likely need to apply for a tourist visa (L visa) at a Chinese embassy/consulate in your country.

You’ll need stuff like your passport, travel plans, and sometimes a hotel booking. Plan ahead – it can take 1–4 weeks to process.

2. BUT some countries get visa-free access!
15-day visa-free: If you’re from Singapore, Brunei, or Japan, you can visit for up to 15 days without a visa.

Hainan Island visa-free: Travelers from 59 countries (like the UK, France, Germany, Norway, Italy, the US, etc.) can visit Hainan Island for 30 days visa-free if they book through a tour agency.

Transit visa-free: If you’re flying through China to another country (e.g., Beijing, Shanghai), you might get up to 6 days visa-free (check the rules for your route!).

240-hour Visa-free: Starting December 2024, China’s transit visa-free policy expands to 240 hours (10 days) for travelers from 54 countries (like the US, UK, Canada, Brazil) transiting to a third country. You can explore 24 provinces via 60 entry ports without a visa!

Many foreign tourists are worried about language problems when they come to China.

In fact, in big cities, the staff of hotels, restaurants, and scenic spots basically speak a little English (from Speedy live streaming). Small cities may be a bit challenging, but you can use translation software (Google Translate), which can take photos to translate menus and road signs, and can also translate voice in real time, so there is no need to worry at all.

Here are a few options:
eSIM: Affordable price, no need to insert or change cards, can use foreign software normally, but no mobile phone number, can not receive text messages or make calls!
SIM Card: Access the Internet anytime, anywhere, good signal coverage, can also register and use Chinese
APP (for example, ordering takeout, taking a taxi is very convenient), but can not use foreign software (such as InS, FB, etc.)
Roaming: No need to change cards, simple operation, can use foreign software (such as Ins,
FB, etc.) normally, but international roaming fees are very expensive, except for emergency is generally not recommended

Subway, online car-hailing, taxi, bus, etc. are common ways of travel. Among them, subway is the most convenient means of transportation in major cities. For example, the subway layout in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Chengdu is very wide, and all stations have Chinese and English signs, so you will not get lost!

Of course! Welcome to travel to China!

Foreigners can travel to China as long as you prepare the following basic things:
