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.

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.

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 ~10 hours refreshing official tickets, transit, and visa pages specific to this 6-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: 2026-06-19.
