Frequently Asked Questions

ASK A QUESTION

01. Do you need a visa to travel to China?

All foreign nationals visiting mainland China are required to apply for an entry visa through the Chinese Embassy or Consulate-General.

02. Is China safe?

China is considered a safe country and violence is rare. The main threat travellers need to be wary of is pickpocketing. Thefts often take place on buses and trains, so personal possessions should be kept close to hand. Scams are also common in China. Be especially careful when buying unpriced goods, and double-check any cash you receive from vendors (there’s a lot of counterfeit bills in circulation). Travellers are also advised to be cautious when crossing roads — motorists often disregard pedestrians’ right of way on marked crossings, and vehicles are even allowed to turn in to or out of the road when traffic lights are green.

03. When is the best time to visit China?

As you might expect from a country so huge, China’s climate is highly varied. Overall, the best time to visit China is spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) when temperatures are most likely to be warm and pleasant. The weather in summer (June-August) can be stifling, while winter (November-March) is often incredibly cold — especially in northern parts of the country.
