Frequently Asked Questions about hostels in China

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

    For budget travelers, exploring China offers many affordable options. The Great Wall, while expansive, allows for section-specific visits, making it manageable on a tight budget. Many smaller, less-visited sections offer stunning views without the crowds of Badaling. Similarly, exploring the ancient towns and villages like Pingyao or Lijiang offers a rich cultural experience at a fraction of the cost of larger cities. These locations often have cheaper guesthouses and local eateries, significantly reducing accommodation and food expenses. Hiking in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, famous for its Avatar-like scenery, is another relatively inexpensive activity, though entrance fees apply. Finally, many free attractions exist, such as wandering through local markets, visiting temples outside major tourist centers, and simply observing daily life in smaller cities.
  • What are the best hostels in China?

    Among the hostels in China, Hantang Inn Hostel Xi'an, Lijiang Desti Youth Park Hostel and Xin Ji Yuan Hostel are the most popular ones.

  • Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from China?

    Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) are the busiest airports in China, handling a significant portion of international and domestic flights. Other major hubs include Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), and Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SZX). These airports connect to a vast network of domestic and international destinations.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in China?

  • What currency do you need for travel in China?

    The official currency is the Renminbi (RMB), also known as the Chinese Yuan (CNY). It's advisable to exchange currency before arriving or use ATMs upon arrival, although credit card usage is less widespread than in many Western countries. Major international airports and larger cities have currency exchange facilities, but smaller towns might have limited options.
  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in China?

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in China?

    Navigating roads in China can be challenging for those unfamiliar with the system. Traffic can be dense, especially in major cities. While ride-hailing apps like Didi are convenient, learning basic Mandarin phrases for directions can be helpful. Road signs are predominantly in Chinese, so using a translation app or having offline maps is crucial. Driving yourself is generally not recommended for visitors unless extremely familiar with Chinese driving customs and regulations.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in China?

    The best hostels for families and kids in China are Hantang Inn Hostel Xi'an, Lijiang Desti Youth Park Hostel and The Silk Road Travelers Hostel.

  • How can travelers best respect local customs in China?

    Respecting local customs enhances any trip. Using chopsticks correctly, avoiding loud conversations in public spaces, and dressing modestly when visiting temples are important considerations. Learning a few basic Mandarin phrases shows respect. It's also polite to accept offerings with both hands and to avoid public displays of affection. Being mindful of personal space and queue etiquette is also appreciated.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in China?

  • Which traditional festivals define the spirit of China?

    The Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) is the most significant, a time of family reunions and celebrations. The Mid-Autumn Festival, with its mooncakes and family gatherings, is another major holiday. The Dragon Boat Festival, commemorating Qu Yuan, involves boat races and eating zongzi. These festivals showcase China's rich history and cultural traditions.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in China?

  • What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in China?

    Dial 110 for police emergencies, 120 for medical emergencies, and 119 for fire emergencies. It's useful to have these numbers readily available and to inform your hotel or accommodation of your itinerary. Many larger hotels will also have emergency contact information on hand.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in China?

    A week allows for a more in-depth exploration. Consider a journey combining Beijing (exploring the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Great Wall) and Xi'an (visiting the Terracotta Army and the ancient city walls). Alternatively, explore the stunning landscapes of Guilin and Yangshuo, perhaps including a cruise on the Li River. These itineraries provide a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in China?

    For a short trip, Shanghai offers a vibrant city experience with its Bund, modern skyscrapers, and bustling markets. Alternatively, a weekend in a smaller city like Hangzhou, known for its West Lake, provides a more relaxed atmosphere and beautiful scenery. Suzhou, with its classical gardens, is another excellent choice for a tranquil weekend getaway.
  • Are there specific regions in China known for great weather?

    Southern China, particularly regions like Yunnan and Guangxi, generally enjoy milder temperatures throughout the year. Coastal cities often have more moderate climates compared to inland areas. However, China's vast size means that weather conditions vary significantly by region and season. It's essential to check the specific forecast before travel.
