Frequently asked questions about unique stays in China

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in China?

    For a truly off-the-beaten-path experience, consider exploring the ancient villages of Pingyao in Shanxi province, known for its well-preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture. Alternatively, the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan province, with its dramatic sandstone pillars that inspired the scenery in Avatar, offers breathtaking natural beauty. For a different perspective, the rice terraces of Yuanyang in Yunnan province are a spectacular sight, particularly stunning during the harvest season.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in China?

    The best airport for you depends entirely on your destination within China. Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) are the largest and best connected, serving as major hubs for domestic and international flights. However, many other significant airports exist, such as Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) and Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), each offering convenient access to specific regions.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in China, cash or card?

    While cash is still used, particularly in smaller towns and rural areas, mobile payment apps like Alipay and WeChat Pay are overwhelmingly dominant. Credit and debit cards are accepted in larger cities and international hotels, but not as widely as mobile payment systems. It's highly advisable to have a mobile payment app set up before your arrival.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in China?

    Road conditions vary significantly across the country. Major highways are generally well-maintained, but smaller roads in rural areas can be less developed. Driving habits can be quite different from what you might be used to, often involving heavy traffic and assertive driving styles. While accidents do occur, many areas have improved safety measures in recent years. Using ride-hailing services or organised transport is often a safer and less stressful option for travellers.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in China?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station. They will provide you with a report, which is crucial for obtaining a replacement passport from your embassy or consulate. Contact your embassy or consulate as soon as possible to begin the process of getting a replacement. Keep copies of your passport information and other important documents in a separate, secure location.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of China?

    A week in China allows for a focused experience. Consider a journey combining Beijing, for its historical sites like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, with Xi'an, home to the Terracotta Army. This itinerary offers a blend of imperial history and ancient wonders, providing a good overview of China's rich past.
  • Where should you spend a weekend in China?

    For a vibrant city break, Shanghai offers a compelling mix of modern skyscrapers, traditional neighbourhoods like the French Concession, and excellent dining options. Alternatively, exploring the ancient canals and charming streets of Suzhou provides a more tranquil, yet culturally rich experience.
  • What festivals in China are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) is a spectacular occasion, though it involves significant crowds. The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated with mooncakes and family gatherings, offers a more relaxed atmosphere. The Lantern Festival, marking the end of the Spring Festival celebrations, is also visually stunning with its elaborate lantern displays.
  • Does China have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    While Uber itself isn't available in mainland China, the country has its own thriving ride-hailing apps. Didi Chuxing is the dominant player, offering a range of services comparable to Uber, including taxis, private cars, and even carpooling options.
  • What’s the top spot in China for favourable weather conditions?

    The best time to visit and the most favourable weather conditions vary greatly by region. Yunnan province, particularly the city of Kunming, is known for its relatively mild and pleasant weather year-round, making it a popular destination for those seeking agreeable temperatures.
