判断
中国の旅行は旅行代理店に頼るべきですか？
中国の複数都市を巡る旅行を計画しており、DIYですべきか、代理店に任せるべきか迷っています。
おすすめ
初めての中国旅行、チベット、4人以上のグループの場合は代理店を利用しましょう。中国旅行を1回経験し、Alipayが使えるようになってからはDIYでも大丈夫です。
The options
| Option | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| 旅行代理店を利用する | 初めて中国を旅行する人、グループ旅行、チベットなどの辺境地域を訪れる人、ビザや許可証の手続きを任せたい人。 | 手数料が5〜20%上乗せされる。旅程の柔軟性が低く、外国人の対応実績があるかを事前に確認する必要がある。 |
| 自分で計画する | Trip.com、Alipay、翻訳アプリを使いこなせる個人旅行者。 | ビザの取得、新幹線(HSR)の予約、現地でのトラブル対応はすべて自分で行う必要がある。 |
The verdict
初めての中国旅行、チベット、4人以上のグループの場合は代理店を利用しましょう。中国旅行を1回経験し、Alipayが使えるようになってからはDIYでも大丈夫です。

Other Destinations decisions
Should I visit Beijing or Shanghai first?
Pick Beijing for a first trip with ≤7 days; pick Shanghai for repeat visits or food-focused trips.
Is Chengdu worth visiting?
Yes if you have 3+ extra days and care about food or animals; skip only if you're under time pressure.
Is Xi'an worth visiting on a 7-day trip?
Include Xi'an for 2 days if it's your first China trip — the Warriors and the city wall are unmatched.
Is Hong Kong worth adding to a mainland China trip?
Yes if you have 2+ days and want a decompression zone; Hong Kong counts as a "third country" for 240-hour transit re-entry.
Is Guilin worth the trip from Shanghai?
Yes if you have 4+ extra days and want scenery; skip on a 7-day first trip.
