    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about traveling to China

     
    What currency does China use?

    It’s the Chinese Yuan (CNY), sometimes called Renminbi (RMB).

    Generally, spring (March-May) and autumn (September-October) are great times to visit China. The weather’s sweet, not too hot, and perfect for exploring.

    It’s a HUGE country, so weather goes wild! Think sizzling summers, freezing winters (especially north), and mild springs/autumns. Check the forecast for your specific cities before you pack.

    Yep, most foreign nationals usually need a visa. Your visa requirements can change according to your citizenship. Check out our handy visa guide for more.

    ATMs are easy to find in major cities, but mobile payments (WeChat Pay & Alipay) are usually the norm in China. In more rural areas, an ATM could be difficult to come across.

    Nope, tipping isn’t generally a thing in China (and can even be seen as a bit odd).

    For the highlights like Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai, 10-14 days is a solid start for first-timers. If you want to dive deeper or hit more regions, two to three weeks is even better.

    Comfy walking shoes are a must! Layered clothing is smart for all the varied climates. Don’t forget any personal meds, a portable power bank, and a travel adapter.

    It’s best to avoid drinking tap water in China. Stick to bottled water for drinking and even for brushing your teeth to be safe. Most hotels provide complimentary bottles.

    Yes, but here’s the kicker: China has the “Great Firewall.” This means many apps like Google, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook are blocked. Get an eSIM or VPN set up before you arrive to stay connected.

    China uses Type A (two flat pins), Type C (two round pins), and Type I (three flat pins, often angled). A universal travel adapter is your best friend here.
