Top FAQs

“Great Customized Service”, “Trip of A Lifetime”, “Exceed All Expectations”

Where is the best place to visit China first time?

The best place to visit in China for the first time can depend on your interests, but here are a few top recommendations that cater to a variety of preferences:

  1. Beijing: As the capital city, Beijing offers a perfect blend of ancient history and modern development. You can explore the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and experience the hustle and bustle of a modern metropolis.

  2. Shanghai: Known for its futuristic skyline, Shanghai is a global financial hub with a rich colonial history. Visit the Bund, Yu Garden, and the Shanghai Tower for a taste of both old and new China.

  3. Xi’an: For those interested in ancient history, Xi’an is home to the Terracotta Army and the starting point of the Silk Road. It’s a gateway to China’s imperial past.

  4. Chengdu: Famous for its Giant Pandas and relaxed lifestyle, Chengdu is a great introduction to China’s southwestern culture and natural beauty.

  5. Hangzhou: With its stunning West Lake and silk industry, Hangzhou is a picturesque city that showcases China’s natural beauty and historical significance.

Ultimately, the “best” place to visit first depends on what you wish to experience. Each region of China offers a different experience.

No, Google Maps does not work in China due to the country’s internet restrictions. Instead, travelers in China often use local mapping services such as Baidu Maps, Tencent Maps, or Alibaba’s AutoNavi. These services offer similar functionalities to Google Maps and are widely used by locals and visitors for navigation and location-based services. It’s advisable to download one of these apps before your trip to ensure smooth navigation while in China.

Yes, foreigners can buy a SIM card in China, but there are certain requirements and steps to follow:

  1. Passport and Visa: You will need your valid passport and visa to purchase a SIM card.

  2. Real-Name Registration: China requires real-name registration for all SIM card purchases, which means your identity will be verified.

  3. Local Mobile Carriers: You can choose from the major mobile network carriers such as China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom.

  4. Service Packages: Depending on your needs, you can select a service package that includes data, calls, and text messages.

  5. Duration of Stay: If you’re staying for a short period, you might want to opt for a prepaid SIM card that doesn’t require a long-term commitment.

  6. Language Barrier: Be prepared to communicate your needs clearly, as some staff may not speak English. It can be helpful to have someone who speaks Chinese assist you.

  7. Location: You can purchase a SIM card at the airport upon arrival, at carrier stores, or at authorized resellers.

  8. Activation: The SIM card will need to be activated, which may involve additional steps and can take some time.

  9. Data Usage: Be aware that data usage policies and costs can vary, and some international data roaming agreements may not apply.

  10. Internet Access: Keep in mind that while you will have mobile data, accessing certain foreign websites and services may be restricted due to China’s internet policies.

When traveling in China, there are several essential apps that can greatly enhance your experience by aiding in navigation, communication, and access to services. Here are some key apps to consider:

  1. Baidu Maps : A comprehensive mapping and navigation app that works well across China, offering directions, local business information, and transit options.

  2. Alipay : A widely used mobile payment platform that allows you to make payments at various establishments, from street vendors to large retailers.

  3. WeChat : A multi-purpose app for messaging, making calls, and mobile payments through WeChat Pay.

  4. Didi Chuxing : A ride-hailing app similar to Uber, providing taxi and private car services.

  5. Ctrip : A travel booking app for flights, hotels, train tickets, and tour packages.

  6. Meituan : A service app for food delivery, restaurant bookings, and local deals.

  7. Google Translate: While not a Chinese app, it’s useful for translating text and conversing with locals, as real-time language translation within China can be challenging.

Remember to download these apps before you arrive in China, as some may not be accessible through international app stores. Additionally, ensure that your phone is set to the correct region to access the Chinese versions of these apps.
