China
World's most populous country with 5,000 years of civilization. The Great Wall, Forbidden City, and rapid modernization create a fascinating contrast.

💬 Language
Mandarin Chinese is the official language. English is very limited outside major international hotels and tourist sites. Translation apps are essential. Note: Google services are blocked — use VPN or Baidu.
🚆 Transport
High-speed rail network is the world's largest. Domestic flights are frequent and affordable. DiDi for ride-hailing. Metro systems in major cities are excellent.
💳 Payment
China is almost entirely cashless via WeChat Pay and Alipay. Foreign tourists may struggle as these require Chinese bank accounts. International credit cards work at large hotels. Carry some cash as backup.
📋 Travel Basics
Tap water is not safe to drink. VPN needed for Google, YouTube, Instagram, etc. Air quality varies by city and season. Squat toilets still common outside major cities.
