Frequently asked questions about unique stays in China

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in China?

    For a truly off-the-beaten-path experience, consider exploring the ancient villages of Xidi and Hongcun in Anhui province, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. These villages showcase remarkably preserved traditional architecture. Another hidden gem is the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan province, inspiration for the floating mountains in the film Avatar. Its towering sandstone pillars and unique landscape are breathtaking.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in China?

    It depends entirely on your destination within China. Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) are the two largest and best-connected, serving as major hubs for international flights. However, for other regions, you'll want to check flights into airports closer to your final destination to minimise travel time.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in China, cash or card?

    While cash is still used, particularly in smaller towns and rural areas, mobile payment apps like Alipay and WeChat Pay are overwhelmingly dominant. Credit and debit cards are accepted in larger cities and hotels, 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 across China. Major highways are generally well-maintained, but smaller roads in rural areas can be less developed. Driving habits can be quite different from what many international travellers are used to, often involving heavy traffic and a less structured approach to lane discipline. It's generally advisable to use public transport or ride-hailing services rather than driving yourself, particularly in larger cities.
  • 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 is crucial for applying for an emergency passport or travel document from your embassy or consulate. Contact your embassy or consulate immediately for assistance with obtaining replacement travel documents.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of China?

    A week allows for a good overview. A possible itinerary could combine Beijing, for its historical sites like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, with Xi'an, home to the Terracotta Army, allowing you to experience both northern and central China's highlights.
  • Where should you spend a weekend in China?

    For a vibrant city break, Shanghai offers a compelling mix of modern skyscrapers, traditional architecture like the Yuyuan Garden, and a bustling nightlife. Alternatively, the ancient city of Pingyao, a UNESCO World Heritage site, provides a peaceful escape with its well-preserved city walls and historical streets.
  • What festivals in China are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) is a spectacular event, though it's essential to book well in advance. The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated with mooncakes and family gatherings, offers a more intimate cultural experience. The Lantern Festival, marking the end of the Spring Festival celebrations, is also visually stunning.
  • Does China have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    While Uber isn't available in mainland China, there are several popular and widely used local alternatives, such as Didi Chuxing, which offers a range of services comparable to Uber and operates across the country.
  • What’s the top spot in China for favourable weather conditions?

    This depends on the time of year, but Yunnan province in southwest China generally enjoys a mild climate year-round. Cities like Kunming are known for their pleasant weather and spring-like conditions throughout much of the year.
