US travelers

China setup notes for US visitors.

A practical starting point for US-based travelers planning a first China trip. The focus is reducing travel friction before arrival.

Before you rely on a route

• Confirm current entry, visa, and transit rules with official sources before booking.
• Prepare payment apps, backup payment, and offline screenshots before flying.
• Review city order and train timing before adding too many stops.
• Check hotel foreign-guest handling before booking non-refundable stays.
• Keep a first-24-hours plan that works even if one app or card fails.
