Frequently asked questions about hostels in China

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

    For budget travellers, exploring China offers many affordable options. The Great Wall, while expansive, allows you to choose sections with lower entrance fees, particularly those further from Beijing. Many smaller, less-visited ancient towns and villages, such as Pingyao or Lijiang's Old Town (though Lijiang is becoming more expensive), offer a rich cultural experience without the hefty price tags of major cities. Hiking in stunning natural areas like Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (though entrance fees apply) or exploring the rice terraces of Yuanyang is also relatively inexpensive, particularly if you're happy to forgo organised tours and travel independently. Remember to factor in transport costs, which can vary significantly depending on your chosen mode of travel.
  • 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 air traffic to and from China?

    Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) are the busiest, handling a significant proportion of international flights. Other major hubs include Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), and Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SZX). The specific airport you fly into will depend on your final destination within China.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in China?

  • What currency is needed in China?

    The official currency is the Renminbi (RMB), also known as the yuan (CNY). It's advisable to exchange currency before arrival or use ATMs once you're there. Credit card acceptance is improving, but cash remains king, particularly in smaller towns and villages.
  • 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 driving culture. Traffic can be dense, especially in larger cities, and road signs may not always be in English. Using ride-hailing apps like Didi Chuxing is generally convenient and affordable, while high-speed rail is an efficient and comfortable way to travel between cities. Public transport within cities is extensive and usually inexpensive.
  • 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 travellers best respect local customs while in China?

    Respectful travel involves understanding basic etiquette. Always use both hands when receiving or offering items. Avoid loud conversations or public displays of affection. Refrain from stepping on the threshold of a doorway, as this is considered unlucky. When visiting temples or other religious sites, dress modestly and remove your shoes before entering. Learning a few basic Mandarin phrases will also be 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 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 and involves boat races and the eating of zongzi. These festivals showcase the rich cultural heritage of China.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in China?

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

    For medical emergencies, dial 120. For police assistance, dial 110. For fire emergencies, dial 119. It's advisable to have these numbers readily available and to inform your hotel or accommodation of your itinerary.
  • 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, Great Wall), Xi'an (Terracotta Army, City Walls), and perhaps a scenic area like Guilin or Yangshuo for a contrast of historical and natural beauty. Alternatively, exploring the vibrant culture of Shanghai and the surrounding areas could easily fill a week.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in China?

    For a short trip, focus on a single city. Beijing offers a wealth of historical sites and modern attractions. Shanghai's blend of old and new provides a different experience. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, consider exploring the ancient city of Pingyao or the picturesque landscapes of Guilin and Yangshuo.
  • Are there specific regions in China known for great weather?

    Southern China, particularly Yunnan and Hainan Island, generally enjoys warmer temperatures year-round. However, weather patterns vary significantly across the vast country. Coastal regions tend to have milder temperatures than inland areas. The best time to visit will depend on your preferred climate and the specific region you plan to explore. Researching seasonal weather patterns for your chosen destination is recommended.
