BEFORE YOU GO

Practical Tips for this trip

A handful of things our editors flag for every China itinerary — sorted from 'must do' to 'nice to know'.

  1. Visa and entry documents

    Most Western passports get 30-day visa-free entry in 2026. Bring your passport (6+ months validity), a printed hotel reservation, and the return ticket — border agents occasionally ask.

  2. Payment setup

    Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay before you fly and link a Visa or Mastercard. Cash still works at small shops but mobile pay is the default almost everywhere.

  3. Connectivity

    Order a China eSIM (Airalo, Holafly, China Unicom) before departure — the visa-free visitors' data plans are now widely supported and cost under $10 for 5 GB.

  4. How we calculated costs

    All figures are in USD per person for the full itinerary, not per day. Backpacker assumes hostel + metro + casual meals; mid-range assumes 3-star hotel + occasional taxi; luxury assumes 5-star + private driver.

BUDGET

Budget Breakdown

OUR PROCESS

How we tested this itinerary

Every itinerary on nihaovisit is walked by at least two editors in real conditions. Here's the method we used for this one.

  1. Step 01

    Editorial research

    Two editors spent ~14 hours refreshing official tickets, transit, and visa pages specific to this 10-day itinerary. We cross-checked prices against at least 3 booking platforms.

  2. Step 02

    On-the-ground booking

    We booked every hotel and ticket ourselves — no screenshots supplied by partners. Each reservation was checked for cancellation terms and refundability.

  3. Step 03

    Walking the itinerary

    At least one editor walked the day-by-day plan in real time, timing transit legs and confirming photo stops actually exist in 2026.

  4. Step 04

    Contingency tests

    We ran the "what if it rains / what if my train is cancelled" scenarios for every day and added fallback options where the risk was non-trivial.

  5. Step 05

    Refund + re-review cycle

    Every itinerary is re-priced and re-tested every 90 days. Last review pass for this page: 2026-06-10.

Not quite the right length or pace? Here are 3 sibling itineraries our editors recommend.

Frequently asked questions

Is 10 days the right length for first-time China?
Yes — it is the sweet spot. You see the four well-known destinations (history, nature, modern) without rushing. Shorter (7 days) and you have to pick 2-3 cities only. Longer (14-21 days) and you can add Tibet, Yunnan, or the Silk Road.
Is the Li River cruise worth a full day?
Yes — the Guilin to Yangshuo cruise is one of China's most scenic experiences, passing karst peaks and riverside villages. The 4-5h boat is the most popular version. Faster boats (1h) skip the scenery.
When is the best time for the Li River?
April-May and September-October. Spring has misty peaks (most well-known photos), autumn has clear blue skies. Summer is hot and humid. Winter is fine but can be cold on the boat.
Can I add a day at the Great Wall for hiking?
Yes — replace the Mutianyu day with a Jinshanling to Simatai wild wall hike (5-6h one-way). Bring proper hiking shoes, water, and a guide.
