Frequently Asked Questions about hostels in China

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

    For budget travelers, exploring China offers many inexpensive options. The Great Wall, while iconic, can be experienced affordably by visiting less-crowded sections outside of Beijing, like the Mutianyu section. Many smaller, lesser-known historical sites throughout the country, such as the ancient villages of Pingyao or the Dazu Rock Carvings, offer rich cultural experiences at a fraction of the cost of major tourist hubs. Public transportation, like high-speed rail and buses, is efficient and economical for getting around. Finally, street food offers a delicious and cheap way to experience local cuisine.
  • What are the best hostels in China?

  • 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, handling a significant portion of international flights. Other major hubs include Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SZX), and Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), though the latter is technically in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in China?

  • What currency do you need for travel in China?

    The official currency is the Chinese Yuan (CNY), also known as the Renminbi (RMB). It's readily available at airports and banks throughout the country. Credit card acceptance is improving, but cash is still king, especially in smaller towns and rural areas. You'll find ATMs widely available in cities.
  • 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 heavy, especially in larger cities. While road signs are increasingly in English, understanding Mandarin can be helpful. Ride-hailing apps like Didi are extremely popular and convenient, offering an easy and affordable alternative to taxis or navigating public transport in unfamiliar areas. Driving yourself is generally not recommended unless you are very experienced with driving in busy, densely populated areas.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in China?

  • How can travelers best respect local customs in China?

    Respecting local customs is key to a pleasant trip. Using chopsticks correctly, avoiding loud conversations in public, and dressing modestly when visiting temples or religious sites are good starting points. Learn a few basic Mandarin phrases; even a simple 'ni hao' (hello) goes a long way. Be mindful of personal space and avoid public displays of affection. It's also polite to accept a business card with both hands and read it carefully before putting it away.
  • 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 important, a time for family reunions and celebrations. The Mid-Autumn Festival, with its mooncakes and family gatherings, is another significant event. The Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the poet Qu Yuan with boat races and zongzi (rice dumplings). These festivals showcase China's rich cultural heritage and are deeply ingrained in the national identity.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in China?

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

    Dial 120 for medical emergencies and 110 for police. It's advisable to have the numbers of your embassy or consulate readily available, as well as travel insurance information. Many larger hotels also have staff who can assist with emergencies.
  • 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 (Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven), Xi'an (Terracotta Army, City Walls), and perhaps a stop in Guilin for the stunning karst landscape. Alternatively, focusing on a single region, like exploring the Yangtze River or Sichuan province with its delicious food and pandas, can also be rewarding.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in China?

    For a shorter trip, Shanghai offers a vibrant mix of modern skyscrapers and traditional neighborhoods. Alternatively, a weekend in Beijing allows you to experience the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. If you prefer natural beauty, consider a trip to Hangzhou, famous for its West Lake.
