Frequently Asked Questions about unique stays in China

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in China?

    For hidden gems, consider exploring the ancient villages of Xidi and Hongcun in Anhui province, renowned for their stunning architecture and peaceful atmosphere. Or, venture to the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan, the inspiration for the Hallelujah Mountains in Avatar, offering breathtaking scenery and unique rock formations. For a different experience, the Pingyao Ancient City in Shanxi province, a remarkably well-preserved walled city, provides a glimpse into China's rich history.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in China?

    The best airport for you depends on your final destination within China. Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) are major hubs with extensive domestic and international connections. However, if you're headed to a specific region, check for closer, more convenient airports to minimize travel time.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in China, cash or card?

    While cash is still used, especially in smaller towns and rural areas, mobile payment apps like Alipay and WeChat Pay are overwhelmingly dominant. Credit cards are accepted in some larger hotels and international stores, but mobile payment is far more prevalent and convenient.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in China?

    Road conditions vary significantly. Major highways are generally well-maintained, but smaller roads can be less developed. Driving habits can be quite different from what many international travelers are used to; it's advisable to use ride-hailing apps or public transportation whenever possible.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in China?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station. Obtain a police report, which will be crucial for getting a replacement passport from your embassy or consulate. Contact your embassy or consulate as soon as possible to begin the process of obtaining an emergency passport.
  • Where in China should you spend a week to experience the best of the country?

    A week in China is a short time, so focusing on a specific region is best. A potential itinerary could include exploring Beijing's historical sites like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, followed by a high-speed train to Xi'an to see the Terracotta Army and the ancient city walls. This offers a blend of imperial history and ancient wonders.
  • Where in China can you have the best weekend experience?

    Shanghai offers a vibrant weekend getaway. You could explore the Bund, visit the Yuyuan Garden, and enjoy the city's diverse culinary scene. Alternatively, a weekend in Guilin provides stunning karst landscapes and opportunities for boat trips on the Li River.
  • What festivals in China are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) is a spectacular event, though crowds are immense. The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated with mooncakes and family gatherings, offers a more relaxed cultural experience. The Lantern Festival, marking the end of the Spring Festival celebrations, is known for its beautiful lantern displays.
  • Does China have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    While Uber isn't available, Didi Chuxing is the dominant ride-hailing app in China, offering a wide range of services, from private cars to taxis.
