China Travel and Vacation – Good to know
Yes, a visa is required to enter China. Apply for it at least one month before your trip at the Chinese embassy or through a travel agency. A visa is not available on arrival. Visit the official website for detailed information and forms.
Beijing Airport (PEK) and Shanghai Airport (PVG) are the best options for international flights. Both airports offer a variety of connections to off-road destinations in China. Be sure to organize transfers in advance to save time.
The local currency is the Renminbi (RMB). Credit cards are often accepted in cities, but for off-road trips, you should take cash. Use WeChat Pay or Alipay for contactless payment. ATMs are widespread, but try to get some cash in advance.
Vaccinations against hepatitis A/B, typhus, and rabies are recommended before traveling to China. A travel insurance is strongly recommended to cover medical costs or unexpected events. Also check current travel advisories and health requirements.
To drive in China, you need an International Driver's License and a translation of your national driver's license into Chinese. Familiarize yourself with local traffic rules, as these vary significantly from Western standards. Rent a vehicle with a driver for a more relaxed experience.
SIM cards are easily available in mobile stores, supermarkets, and at the airport. Providers like China Unicom or China Mobile offer various prepaid plans. Bring your passport to be able to activate your card. This allows you to avoid high roaming fees.
