I will send you a practical 3 volume china travel guide

Planning your first trip to China and not sure where to start?

I wrote it after watching visitors lose their first day to avoidable things: a payment app that rejects a foreign card, a sold-out ticket, a taxi that charged triple.

Three PDF volumes, 114 pages:

GET IN before you fly, and your first hour after landing:

visas and the 240-hour transit route, the arrival card, SIM and eSIM, what to have ready before immigration.

GET BY daily life on the ground:

Alipay and WeChat Pay with a foreign card, the metro, rail booking, taxis that will not overcharge you, pharmacy runs, what to do if you lose your phone.

GET AROUND where to go and what to eat:

11 city guides, 8 ready-made routes, the eight cuisines and how to order without an English menu, plus shopping and haggling.

Each volume ends with a Do this now checklist, red flags and the Chinese phrases for that chapter, with pinyin.

Visa and entry rules were verified against official sources in September 2026, and editions are dated and re-checked quarterly.

This is a written guide, not a tour service.
