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 vast, has sections less crowded and cheaper to access than others. Consider visiting the Mutianyu or Jinshanling sections for a more authentic, less touristy experience. Many smaller cities, like Pingyao, a beautifully preserved ancient city, offer incredible cultural immersion at a fraction of the cost of major metropolitan areas. Wandering through local markets, visiting temples outside of major tourist hubs, and taking advantage of affordable public transport (high-speed rail is surprisingly economical for longer distances) will keep costs down.
  • What are the best hostels in China?

    Among the hostels in China, The Jade Emu International Hostel, Hantang Inn Hostel Xi'an and Lijiang Desti Youth Park 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, 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), although the latter is in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in China?

  • What currency do you need for China?

    The official currency is the Renminbi (RMB), also known as the Chinese Yuan (CNY). It's advisable to exchange currency before arrival or use your credit/debit card (check for international transaction fees) at ATMs widely available in cities. Smaller towns and rural areas may have limited ATM access, so carrying some cash is always a good idea.
  • 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, particularly in larger cities. Traffic can be heavy, and understanding road signs (many are in Chinese) is essential. Using ride-hailing apps like Didi Chuxing is convenient and affordable, while high-speed rail is an efficient option for intercity travel. Public transport within cities is generally well-developed and inexpensive, but learning basic Mandarin phrases can be helpful.
  • 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?

    Respecting local customs enhances your travel experience. Learn a few basic Mandarin phrases – even a simple 'ni hao' (hello) is appreciated. Be mindful of noise levels, especially in quieter areas or temples. Modest dress is advisable when visiting religious sites. Using chopsticks correctly is a sign of respect, and avoid sticking them upright in your rice bowl. Tipping isn't customary in China, and direct eye contact can be perceived as aggressive in some situations.
  • 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 for family reunions and celebrations. The Mid-Autumn Festival, with its mooncakes and family gatherings, is another important occasion. The Dragon Boat Festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a poet and minister, with dragon boat races and zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). These festivals showcase the rich culture and traditions of China.
  • 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 and 120 for medical emergencies. It is advisable to have the numbers of your country's embassy or consulate readily available. Many larger hotels will also have emergency contact information available.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in China?

    A week allows for a deeper exploration. Consider a journey combining Beijing (exploring the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Great Wall) with Xi'an (visiting the Terracotta Army and the ancient city walls). Alternatively, exploring the stunning scenery of Guilin and Yangshuo, with their karst mountains and Li River cruises, offers a contrasting experience.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in China?

    For a weekend getaway, Shanghai offers a vibrant blend of modern skyscrapers and traditional neighbourhoods like the French Concession. Alternatively, exploring the charming ancient city of Pingyao, with its well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, provides a captivating glimpse into China's history. Both destinations are easily accessible by high-speed rail.
  • Are there specific regions in China known for great weather?

    Yunnan province in southwest China enjoys a generally mild climate year-round. The coastal regions of southern China, such as Guangdong and Hainan Island, have warm, subtropical climates. However, it's important to note that China is a vast country with diverse weather patterns, so checking specific forecasts for your chosen destination is always recommended.
