Is it a must-to tip?
Tipping is not mandatory, but it is always appreciated. It is usually given at the end of the tour if you are satisfied with your guide’s service, and the amount depends on how you value the quality of their performance.
Do I need to take out travel insurance for my trip?
You should always make sure you are fully insured when traveling abroad, and we require all clients to have appropriate and sufficient coverage. Please confirm that your policy includes protection for cancellation fees in case you need to cancel your tour before departure due to unforeseen circumstances.
What is it like getting around by taxi in China?
Taxis are widely available in major tourist cities. Starting fares differ from city to city, so it’s best to check the fare notice posted on the car window. Paying in CNY cash is more convenient and time-saving. Since not all drivers speak English, it’s advisable to carry a map labeled in both Chinese and English to show the driver your destination.
What are my rights and obligations when I travel to China?
According to Article 32 of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China, the lawful rights and interests of foreigners are protected within Chinese territory, while at the same time, foreigners are required to abide by Chinese laws during their stay.
When does the public holiday take place? Should we avoid visiting China during that period?
China’s public holidays include:
January 1st: New Year’s Day (1 day)
January or February: Spring Festival (7 days)
April 4th or 5th: Tomb-Sweeping Day (1 day)
May 1st: International Labor Day (3 days)
September or October: Mid-Autumn Festival (3 days)
October 1st: National Day (7 days)
Among these, National Day is the busiest holiday, when Chinese families and friends flock to scenic spots for leisure. Hotels and flights are often fully booked, and tourist attractions become extremely crowded. For a more comfortable trip, it is advisable to avoid visiting China during this period.
What is the climate like in China, and what is the best season to visit?
China is a vast country with diverse climates, ranging from tropical regions to high-altitude areas. In general, spring lasts from April to May, summer from June to August, autumn from September to October, and winter from November to March. Winters in the north are typically colder and drier, while summers in the south are hotter and more humid.
No matter the season, there is always a destination in China worth visiting. It’s advisable to check the weather forecast before your trip or consult your travel advisor for professional suggestions.
What is the dress code when I travel in China?
Throughout your tour, the dress code is casual. In summer, shorts and t-shirts are perfectly acceptable—even in dining rooms. After all, it’s your tour, so wear whatever makes you comfortable. For certain occasions, such as attending the Peking Opera in Beijing or the Tang Dynasty Show in Xi’an, formal attire is not required; however, if you bring formal clothing and enjoy dressing up, you are welcome to do so.
