Useful China Travel Tips

When to go
Actually, when to go depends on where you go. China is so big that it contains almost all kinds of climate on the earth. As China is a vast country with wide-ranging climatic conditions, so a decision about the best time to visit should be based on the regions you plan to tour and the kind of weather you enjoy.
It's really cold at north during the winter, and extremely hot at south as well. Before deciding when to take a tour, it is worth checking carefully the China weather conditions of each city on the itinerary. Needless to say that the most attractive seasons to visit are also the most crowded. Regardless of the time of the year, a visitor will always be rewarded with charming scenery throughout China.

How to save money
Travel in China is affordable compared with other places in the world. Prices are much cheaper than in most western countries, for everything from meals to train or plane tickets.Public transportation costs are reasonable in China and easily affordable. No doubt buses are the most economical public vehicle. However, traveling by metro, taxi or hiring a private driver can make your tour more comfortable and more efficient.
I was really unaccustomed about the public transportation in Topeka at beginning. The city would be died if the buses come every half or one hour in China, but it's how things work in Topeka.You can't image how convenient the Chinese public transportation is.
The round-trip plane tickets may be the biggest expense.

What to pack
From my experience of international traveling between U.S. and China, I want to tell you: packing as less as possible. Trust me, you can find almost every common commodity in Chinese supermarket unless you have some special requirement or you go to some undeveloped area.


Packing tips

•Roll your clothes instead of folding them or use vacuum bags. In this way you will save a lot of space and provide extra protection for your clothing.
•Put the items your will use regularly at the top
•Bring several plastic bags with you. You will find many uses for them during your trip.
•Remember the rules on carrying liquids; you may have to remove them at your point of departure!

Hope you have a nice trip!
