Before coming to China
Know this:
1. Language: Chinese (Mandarin) is the official language of China. It would be good to learn some useful phrases before visiting the country. Most of the signboards do not have English translations, so a translation app might come in handy.
2. Visa: China has a strict visa policy. Ensure your visa and documentation are correct and up-to-date before travelling.
3. Respect the customs and traditions: China is a country with rich culture and tradition. Respect the local norms and customs. Avoid discussing sensitive topics like politics and religion.
4. Health precautions: Be careful with food and water to avoid any health issues. It’s safer to drink bottled water. If you have any allergies or food restrictions, learn how to say them in Chinese.
5. Internet censorship: Websites like Facebook, Google, and Twitter are blocked in China, so you might want to set up a VPN before you leave.
6. Avoid scams: Like any other tourist spot, beware of common tourist scams.
