Frequently asked questions about lodges in China
Which attractions shouldn't be missed in China?
Well, that depends on your interests! For ancient history, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall are must-sees. The Terracotta Army in Xi'an is breathtaking, and the stunning landscapes of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the inspiration for Avatar's Hallelujah Mountains, are unforgettable. For a more modern experience, Shanghai's skyline and the Bund are iconic.
What are the main arrival points by air for China?
Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) are the two largest and busiest airports, serving as major hubs for international flights. Other significant arrival points include Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), and Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU).
The local currency is the Renminbi (RMB), also known as the Chinese Yuan (CNY). It's advisable to exchange currency before arrival or use ATMs upon arrival, although credit card acceptance is improving, it's still not as widespread as in other countries.
What parts of China are perfect for a week-long visit?
A week allows for a good exploration of a region. Consider a trip focusing on the classic route: Beijing (Forbidden City, Great Wall, Temple of Heaven), Xi'an (Terracotta Army, City Walls), and perhaps a stop in a city like Guilin for its stunning karst landscape and Li River cruise. Alternatively, exploring the vibrant culture and food scene of Shanghai and nearby Suzhou offers a different experience.
What are the best lodges for families and kids in China?
Which parts of China are ideal for a weekend trip?
For a short trip, a city like Shanghai offers a fantastic mix of modern and historical attractions. Alternatively, exploring the charming water towns of Suzhou or Hangzhou provides a relaxing escape with beautiful canals and gardens. These destinations are relatively easy to navigate in a short timeframe.
Are there any traditional greetings or practices in China?
A slight bow and a handshake are common greetings. It's polite to use both hands when exchanging business cards. Removing your shoes before entering someone's home is customary. Using chopsticks correctly is important, and avoid sticking them upright in a bowl of rice.
Are there any major festivals specific to China's heritage?
The Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) is the most important, a time for family reunions and celebrations. The Mid-Autumn Festival, with its mooncakes, is another significant event. The Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the poet Qu Yuan.
What ride-hailing options, including Uber, are available in China?
Uber isn't available in mainland China. Didi Chuxing is the dominant ride-hailing app, offering various options from taxis to private cars. It's essential to download the app before your trip.
What part of China is best for outdoor activities?
For hiking and stunning natural scenery, Yunnan Province offers diverse landscapes, from Tiger Leaping Gorge to the rice terraces of Yuanyang. The mountains of Sichuan Province are also ideal for trekking and exploring, with opportunities for panda viewing. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park provides incredible opportunities for hiking and enjoying the unique rock formations.
