Practical tips- Best times: Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) for milder weather and clearer skies; summers can be hot and humid, winters cold in the north. Avoid major holiday travel peaks (Chinese New Year, National Day Golden Week) unless you want a festive experience.- Visas and entry: Check current visa requirements and entry rules well in advance.- Getting around: Efficient high-speed rail network links major cities; domestic flights reach remote regions; metros, taxis, bikes, and ride-hailing apps are widely used in cities.- Language & etiquette: Mandarin is primary; learn basic greetings and phrases. Respect local customs at temples and historic sites, remove shoes when required, and follow photography rules.- Health & safety: Carry cash and mobile payment apps are ubiquitous (Alipay/WeChat Pay)—set up access if possible. Drink bottled water in many areas; be aware of altitude in Tibet and some western regions.- Connectivity: Some international apps and sites may be restricted—consider local VPNs or alternatives and download maps/translation apps for offline use.- Cultural sensitivity: Be mindful in ethnic minority areas—ask before photographing people, and support sustainable tourism practices.
