Frequently asked questions about hostels in China

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

    For budget travellers, exploring China offers many fantastic, affordable options. The Great Wall, while expansive, allows for choosing sections less crowded and with lower entrance fees. Many smaller, lesser-known sections offer equally stunning views. Exploring ancient towns like Pingyao or Lijiang offers a rich cultural experience without the hefty price tag of major cities. These towns boast well-preserved architecture, local markets, and delicious street food at very reasonable prices. Finally, hiking in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the inspiration for the Avatar Hallelujah Mountains, is a relatively inexpensive adventure, offering breathtaking scenery.
  • What are the best hostels in China?

    Among the hostels in China, The Jade Emu International Hostel, Hantang Inn Hostel Xi'an and Lijiang Desti Youth Park Hostel are the most popular ones.

  • Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from China?

    Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) are the busiest, handling a significant portion of international flights. Other major hubs include Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), and Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU). These airports connect to a vast network of domestic and international destinations.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in China?

  • What currency do you need for China?

    The official currency is the Renminbi (RMB), also known as the Yuan (CNY). It's advisable to exchange currency before arrival or use ATMs upon arrival – credit card use is less common outside of major tourist areas.
  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in China?

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in China?

    Navigating roads in China can be challenging, especially in larger cities. Traffic can be dense, and road signs may not always be in English. Using ride-hailing apps like Didi Chuxing is generally convenient and affordable, especially for getting around unfamiliar areas. Public transport, such as the extensive metro systems in major cities, is a reliable and cost-effective alternative.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in China?

    The best hostels for families and kids in China are Hantang Inn Hostel Xi'an, Lijiang Desti Youth Park Hostel and The Silk Road Travelers Hostel.

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while in China?

    Respectful travel involves understanding and adhering to local customs. Being mindful of noise levels in public spaces is important. Using chopsticks correctly and avoiding pointing with them is a sign of respect. Dress modestly when visiting temples or other religious sites. Learning a few basic Mandarin phrases goes a long way in showing respect and facilitating communication.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in China?

  • Which traditional festivals define the spirit of China?

    The Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) is the most significant, a time for family reunions and celebrations. The Mid-Autumn Festival, with its mooncakes and family gatherings, is another important event. The Dragon Boat Festival, commemorating the poet Qu Yuan, features dragon boat races and zongzi (rice dumplings). These festivals showcase the rich cultural heritage of China.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in China?

  • What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in China?

    Dial 120 for medical emergencies and 110 for police. It's advisable to have these numbers readily available and to inform your hotel or accommodation of your itinerary.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in China?

    A week allows for exploring a region in depth. Consider exploring the Yangtze River, including a cruise and visits to cities like Chongqing and Wuhan. Alternatively, a week in the southwest could combine exploring the stunning landscapes of Yunnan Province, including Lijiang, Dali, and the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in China?

    For a shorter trip, a weekend in a city like Xi'an, with its Terracotta Army and ancient city walls, offers a rich historical experience. Alternatively, exploring the vibrant culture and modern architecture of Shanghai is a compelling option.
  • Are there specific regions in China known for great weather?

    Yunnan province in southwest China enjoys a pleasant climate year-round, with milder temperatures compared to other parts of the country. Coastal regions generally have warmer temperatures, but are prone to typhoons during certain months. The best time to visit will depend on your preference and tolerance for heat and humidity.
