Start here: China travel planning
Published: 2026-02-14
The minimum viable plan for a first trip to China, plus the practical setup most travelers miss.
The first-time China plan (simple version)
- Pick 1-2 cities, not 4.
- Plan long-distance moves around high-speed rail and flights.
- Set up connectivity and payment workflows early, before you arrive.
Practical setup checklist
- Connectivity plan (SIM/eSIM) so maps and translations work immediately.
- Payment backup (at least 2 methods).
- Screenshot addresses in the local language for arrivals and taxis.
Plan with the OTA
Use the planner to search stays/tours and save an itinerary. (Planner pages are intentionally non-indexable.)
