China

Civilidade e respeito

• Visa rules change often (visa-free stays for some nationalities, transit stays): check the official rules before you go.
• Many foreign websites and apps (Google, WhatsApp, Instagram…) are blocked: prepare your maps and translation apps before you arrive.
• Mobile payment is everywhere: set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign card before the trip, and keep some cash.
• Carry your passport: hotels, trains and some sights ask for it.
• Don't stick chopsticks upright in your rice.
• Avoid political discussions and never photograph military sites.
