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'.
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.
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.
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.

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.
- Step 01
Editorial research
Two editors spent ~8 hours refreshing official tickets, transit, and visa pages specific to this 3-day itinerary. We cross-checked prices against at least 3 booking platforms.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
