China can be a relatively affordable destination, particularly for food, public transport and accommodation. Costs vary depending on the cities and experiences you choose.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, the purpose of your trip and how long you plan to stay. Always check the latest requirements before travelling.

China is generally considered a safe destination for tourists. As with travelling anywhere, it is still important to look after your belongings and follow local laws and customs.

Spring and autumn are generally popular times to visit because of the more comfortable temperatures, although China is a huge country and the best time depends on the regions you plan to visit.

Definitely try dumplings, Peking duck, noodles, bao buns, hot pot, xiaolongbao and plenty of regional Chinese dishes.

Some international websites and apps are restricted in mainland China. It's worth preparing your phone, apps, payments and connectivity before you arrive.

China uses the Chinese yuan (RMB/CNY).
