About China Travel Checklists

China Travel Checklists is a practical guide for international visitors planning a trip or travelling in China.

We focus on details that are easy to miss in English: how Chinese QR payments work with an overseas card, what hotel room descriptions mean, and which travel requirements apply to different regions.

What the guides cover

Payments, internet access, local apps, hotels, train tickets and translation tools, alongside visa-free entry, power banks on flights and public holidays. Our regional guides cover Xinjiang and Tibetan areas, with routes, transport and local travel requirements.

How we research the guides

We work from official policies, transport and platform documentation, and Chinese-language sources. The guides explain what those details mean for your trip, with links to the sources behind the advice. Requirements and optional suggestions are kept distinct.

Our editorial policy describes how we check sources, update guidance and handle corrections.

Who maintains the site

The China Travel Checklists Editorial Team researches, writes and maintains the guides.
