FAQs about China Tours

Cash or credit card in China?

Cash is still more widelyused in China than in credit cards. You can exchange the Chinese cash at most banks, bigger hotels, or exchange counters in the airport. Still, you can use credit cards for major transactions here such as hotel reservations, tours, air/ train tickets, payments in foreign brand stores, etc. Cash is more preferred for handling small payments, especially in small towns, rural areas or non-touristy attractions.

Is the tap water in China clean to drink?

Tap water in China is undrinkable even in the major cities unless it has been boiled. However, it is safe to use directly for daily hygiene such as washing, bathing or brushing your teeth. In case you’re still anxious about boiled tap water, bottled water can be easily found in any convenient stores here.

What is China's preferred currency?

The renminbi or RMB (CNY) is the official currency in China and it is used in mainland China only because Hong Kong and Macau have their currencies. It’s better to use the local money for almost purchases, especially expenses in the rural areas, in the local eateries or from smaller vendors. In bigger restaurants or international hotels & resorts, USD could be acceptable but you should ask the staff in advance for more detail.

Best China SIM card to buy

There are three main mobile data providers in China: China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom. However, China Mobile and China Telecom network with 3G service could get incompatible with virtually all phones purchased outside China while China Unicom, the second-largest mobile carrier, is the only provider in China that has 3G working with phones from outside China. For the best convenience, SIM Card from China Unicom is the best option to help you stay connected here.

Is the food inChina safe and clean?

Chinese cuisine is proudly regarded as one of the quintessential elements standing for Asian gastronomic culture. Hence any travellers will be wowed by the colourful diversity of local delicacies here. Almost the iconic Chinese food (dumplings, Sichuan dishes, roasted duck, noodles, etc) is favoured by many people, hence it’s safe to eat. If you’re concerned about the cleanliness of the food, you’d better choose commonly-visited eateries or dishes containing well-cooked ingredients.

Is tipping mandatory in China?

Tipping is not a common practise in China, hence it’s unnecessary to give a bonus anywhere you go. Leaving a personal tip is highly recommended for those who have been especially kind and done a great job during your trip.

Whenever in a year you travel in China, there are always great destinations worth visiting here. All in all, with the wide-ranging weather of hot summer and very cold winter, the best time to visit China is Spring (April – May) and Autumn (September – October) due to the temperate climate and pleasant temperature in most popular places of the country.
