Things to Know Before Your Visit

Google Maps and Google Listings may not be available in China.

Find attractions on local platforms where you can make reservations.

On Trip.com (and other apps), you can book guided tours, including sightseeing and transport.

Popular attractions often have a limited number of tickets, so we recommend booking at least a week in advance.

Pay attention to the opening time of the attractions you want to visit - for example, museums in China are often closed on Mondays.

Certain attractions may require a Chinese ID when booking tickets online. If so, you may need to buy tickets on-site instead.

Book a tour guide if you want a more in-depth understanding of the attraction.
