Frequently Asked Questions
Is China safe for tourists?
Yes, extremely safe. Violent crime is rare. However, digital safety (scams, fake tea houses) is something to watch out for.
Do I need a VPN in China?
Yes, if you want to use Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, or YouTube. Alternatively, buy an eSIM (like Saily) which has a built-in VPN functionality.
Can I pay with cash?
It is difficult. Most vendors only accept Alipay or WeChat Pay. We highly recommend setting up Alipay with your foreign credit card before arrival.
