    Essential Travel Info

    Do I need a visa for China?

    Maybe not — citizens of 50 countries (UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Korea, and most of Europe) can now enter visa-free for up to 30 days, and US travelers often qualify for 240-hour visa-free transit.

    Check your exact route in seconds — by nationality and where you land.

    Check your visa

    China is a mostly cashless society. Mobile payments are the easiest way to get around.

    Alipay & WeChat Pay: These two apps are accepted everywhere, from luxury malls to street vendors. International visitors can now easily link their Visa, Mastercard, or Discover cards to both apps before arriving.

    Cash & Credit Cards: Major hotels and large international stores accept foreign credit cards. It's always a good idea to carry a small amount of Chinese Yuan (RMB) in cash for emergencies.

    Many Western websites and apps are blocked in China due to the firewall.

    Travel eSIM / Roaming: The most hassle-free way to bypass the firewall is to use an international roaming plan from your home carrier, or buy a travel eSIM (like Airalo or Holafly) before your trip. These route your data through international servers.

    VPN Apps: If you plan to rely on local Wi-Fi, you must download and install a reliable VPN app *before* you arrive in China.
