FAQ itinerario

¿Con cuánta antelación debo reservar las principales atracciones?

Reserva el sitio principal con acceso restringido con 7 días de antelación, a medianoche hora local, a través del canal oficial. No se venden entradas el mismo día en la mayoría de los sitios principales.

¿Son 7 días demasiado para un primer viaje?

No — 7 días es el punto ideal. Tres días cubre lo esencial pero estarás agotado. Cinco te permite añadir una excursión de un día y una tarde sin prisas.

¿Puedo hacer este itinerario sin hablar chino?

Sí. Instala Pleco (diccionario sin conexión) y una aplicación de traducción antes de volar. La señalización del metro y de las atracciones está en inglés en las ciudades principales; el personal de los hoteles internacionales habla inglés.

¿Cuál es la peor época del año para hacer esta ruta exacta?

Semana Dorada (1–7 de octubre): cada entrada con horario es imposible de conseguir. Evita también la avalancha del Año Nuevo Chino (finales de enero/febrero) y el Día del Trabajo (1–5 de mayo). De mediados de julio a mediados de agosto hace calor y hay mucha gente con viajeros nacionales.

¿Cuánto efectivo necesito realmente?

Casi nada. Alipay (vinculado a una Visa/Mastercard extranjera) cubre el 95% de los comercios. Lleva 500–800 ¥ en efectivo como respaldo para pequeños puestos. No se espera propina.

¿Es esta ruta segura para viajeros solos?

Sí. El principal riesgo es el tráfico: los e-bikes y scooters circulan por las aceras. Mantente alerta en los cruces, especialmente fuera de Beijing/Shanghai, donde los conductores pueden no detenerse. Las mujeres que viajan solas no reportan problemas.
