Currently, foreigners from 54 countries can enjoy a 72/144-hour transit visa-free policy, covering 31 ports in 23 cities in 18 provinces in China. You can find out.

Whether a visa is required can be determined through real-time government announcements.

The above information is for reference only. The specific policy is subject to the announcement of the Chinese embassy or consulate in the local area.

The local currency is RMB (CNY/RMB). Many hotels and shopping malls support Visa/Mastercard, but cash or mobile payment (such as Alipay or WeChat Pay) is more common.

Most public places have free wifi, such as hotel cafes, etc., but public wifi often requires Chinese mobile phone number verification. It is recommended to buy a SIM/ESIM card.

You only need to bring your passport to buy it at the airport or China Mobile, China Unicom, or China Telecom business hall in the city.

English is more popular in tourist areas, hotels, and airports, but communication may be difficult in non-tourist areas, which can be solved through translation software.
