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, renowned for their stunning traditional architecture. Alternatively, the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, with its towering sandstone pillars that inspired the scenery in Avatar, offers breathtaking landscapes less crowded than some other popular destinations. For a cultural immersion, the Pingyao Ancient City in Shanxi province, a remarkably well-preserved walled city, provides a fascinating glimpse into China's history.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in China?

    The best airport for you depends entirely on your destination within China. Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) are major hubs serving many international flights, but smaller airports may be more convenient if you're heading to a specific region. Always check flight options and proximity to your final destination before booking.
  • 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 chains, but reliance on mobile payment is strongly recommended for a smooth experience.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in China?

    Road conditions vary considerably across China. Major highways are generally well-maintained, but smaller roads can be less developed. Driving habits can be more assertive than in some Western countries, with less adherence to strict lane discipline in certain areas. Exercise caution and consider using ride-hailing services or public transport where possible.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in China?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station and contact your embassy or consulate. They will guide you through the process of obtaining an emergency travel document to allow you to return home. Keep copies of your passport information and visa safely stored separately from your original passport.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of China?

    A week in China allows for a taste of both modern and historical aspects. A possible itinerary might include a few days in Beijing exploring the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, followed by a trip to Xi'an to see the Terracotta Army, and ending with a couple of days in Shanghai, experiencing its vibrant city life and modern architecture. This offers a diverse range of experiences.
  • Where should you spend a weekend in China?

    For a vibrant city break, Shanghai offers a fantastic weekend experience. Explore the Bund, visit the Yu Garden, and enjoy the city's diverse culinary scene. Alternatively, a weekend in Guilin allows for stunning natural beauty, with opportunities for boat trips on the Li River and exploring the karst mountains.
  • What festivals in China are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) is a spectacular event, although extremely crowded. The Mid-Autumn Festival, with its mooncake traditions, offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Regional festivals, such as the Yi ethnic group's Torch Festival in Yunnan province, provide unique cultural insights.
  • Does China have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    While Uber is not available in China, Didi Chuxing is the dominant ride-hailing app, providing a wide range of services, from private cars to taxis.
  • What’s the top spot in China for favourable weather conditions?

    There's no single 'top' spot, as ideal weather depends on the time of year. However, Yunnan province in southwest China generally enjoys pleasant temperatures year-round, although it can experience rain during certain seasons. The coastal areas of southern China also tend to have warmer, milder climates.
