Who it is for
The guides are written for travelers visiting China for the first time, especially people who need clear city routes and practical setup steps before dealing with airports, stations, payment apps, and tickets.
How to use it
Start with the free city and travel-prep pages. Use the Arrival Pack only when you want downloadable PDFs, 2-3 day route notes, Chinese names, hotel area notes, and offline checklists in one ZIP.
Important boundary
This is not official travel advice.
Rules for visas, payment apps, train tickets, attraction entry, opening hours, and transport can change. Use this site as planning support, then confirm current requirements with official sources, airlines, hotels, attractions, and payment providers before you travel.
Purchase support
Checkout and file delivery are handled by Gumroad. If a download link, receipt, duplicate purchase, or ZIP access issue comes up, use the support link in your Gumroad receipt first because Gumroad controls the private download page.
Corrections
Travel details change. If you spot an outdated opening rule, route note, app requirement, or address, include the page URL and the current source when you send a correction through the channel where you found this guide.
