Is this tool really free?+
Yes — every tool on NihaoVisit is free to use, with no account, no email, and no paywall. The tool results are independent of any booking decision.
Do I need a VPN to use these tools?+
No — NihaoVisit tools run on standard web infrastructure accessible from any country. Some linked booking platforms (Booking.com, Trip.com) work without a VPN; others (some Klook pages) load faster from within China with a domestic connection. Results are not affected by your location.
How accurate are the prices and rates?+
Rates are re-verified monthly against the source platforms (12306 for HSR, official embassy pages for visa, Booking.com / Trip.com / Klook for activities). The 2026 verification date is shown in the trust bar above. Where a rate is volatile (currency exchange, hotel pricing), the tool clearly labels it as an estimate rather than a guaranteed rate.
Can I save my results and come back later?+
Yes — the URL of every tool result is shareable and bookmarkable. Open the same link on any device to see the same result (we store inputs in the URL, not in cookies or accounts). For a 7-day plan you can revisit, use the "Send me a plan" form below the tool — we email a PDF version within 24 hours.
Is my data private?+
Yes — we do not collect personal data from any tool. The cost calculator, visa checker, and HSR planner all run client-side or with ephemeral server calls; nothing is stored. The lead form below is opt-in and only used to send the one email you requested. See our Privacy Policy for the full data-handling details.
What if the result is wrong or outdated?+
Email us via the contact form (linked in the footer) or use the "File a correction" link on any page. Our editorial team verifies every reported issue within 48 hours and updates the fixture or rate that produced the result. Corrections are credited on the page once shipped.
Does this work on mobile?+
Yes — every tool is mobile-first. Inputs use native pickers (date, slider, number) and results are formatted for portrait screens. The cost calculator, plan-my-trip, and Great Wall picker all work offline once loaded (PWA). On desktop, results are displayed in a 2-column grid (inputs left, results right).
Can I use this for a business trip or group booking?+
Yes — the cost calculator scales from 1 to 12 travelers. For larger groups (>12), the per-person rate stops being accurate; use the "Send me a plan" form below and our editors will prepare a custom quote within 24 hours. For corporate / incentive travel, contact us directly via the editorial contact page.
