Beijing

Beijing, China’s sprawling capital, has history stretching back 3 millennia. Yet it’s known as much for modern architecture as its ancient sites such as the grand Forbidden City complex, the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Nearby, the massive Tiananmen Square pedestrian plaza is the site of Mao Zedong’s mausoleum and the National Museum of China, displaying a vast collection of cultural relics.

Petty theft and scams

Like any country, China has its share of crime and scams that travelers should be aware of. While overall crime rates in China are relatively low, petty theft and scams targeting tourists can be a problem in some areas.

Touts and transportation services scam

One common scam involves touts offering cheap tours or transportation services, only to overcharge or abandon travelers once payment has been made. Visitors should also be wary of people posing as police officers or officials who ask to see identification or passports - legitimate officials will usually be in uniform and carry official identification.

Pickpocketing

In larger cities like Beijing and Shanghai, pickpocketing can be a problem in crowded areas like public transportation and tourist sites. Travelers should keep valuables like wallets and phones secure, and avoid carrying large amounts of cash.

Fraud

Visitors should also be cautious when using ATMs, as card skimming and fraud are not uncommon. It's recommended to use ATMs located inside banks or other secure locations, and to cover the keypad when entering PIN numbers.

Counterfeit items

Finally, travelers should be aware of the risk of scams involving fake goods or counterfeit money. Always purchase goods from reputable vendors, and inspect any goods carefully before making a purchase. And if you receive counterfeit money, contact the police immediately.

Overall, while crime and scams are a potential risk for travelers in China, taking basic precautions and being aware of common scams can help ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.

Does not accept the International Driving Permit

• The most common religion in China is Buddhism
• Don't leave your chopsticks sticking up in the left-over rice at the bottom of your bowl after eating a meal.
• Don't write cards or letters with red ink or ball pen -it symbolizes the end of a relationship.
• Don't expect to conclude business swiftly - the decision making process can be slow.
• Don't be surprised by locals smacking and slurping while eating - it indicates the food tastes good.
• Don't forget it take off your shoes when entering any home in China, unless you told not to.
• Don't cross the hierarchy rank - always show respect to the elders and acknowledge them in a group first.
• Don't behave in a carefree manner in public. Embracing or kissing when greeting or saying goodbye is highly unusual.
• Don't wear high heels and short sleeved blouses if woman - Chinese frown on women who display too much skin.
• Don't touch someone unless you absolutely have to. Chinese people don't enjoy being touched by strangers, which is the direct opposite to Western society.
• Don't forget to show respect when greeting. While foreigners are expected to shake hands, the traditional form of greeting is the bow - the deeper you bow, the more respect you show. A foreign visitor ('gaijin') may bow the head slightly since no one expects foreigners to understand the subtle nuances of bowing generally.
• Don't ask the Chinese to turn off their phones - it can cause losing face.
• Don't be surprised by frequent monitoring and surveillance - security personnel carefully watch foreigners. Hotel rooms, cars and devices may be monitored too.

Do I need travel insurance to travel to China?

Travel insurance is very important when traveling overseas. We strongly recommend that you take out cover to travel to China. You can usually take out single trip or annual multi-trip cover to give you peace of mind should anything happen.

It can be a better and cheaper option to take annual multi-trip cover as it usually covers any number of trips taken in one year with a maximum of up to around 60 days away per trip.

We work with the top names in the industry and have already pre-selected the easiest, cheapest and best quality travel insurance on the market to save you time and money trying to find the best cover.

Travel insurance typically covers the following; however, you can tailor a policy to suit your needs depending on where you are traveling to, your activities and how long you are away.

• Medical Expenses
  Medical treatment can be extremely costly and add up very quickly, and include Overnight stays in hospital, minor or major surgery, accident and emergency treatment, drugs, COVID-19 treatment, journey home if you cannot use the original ticket, dental treatment, and many more unexpected expenses.
• Baggage and personal belongings
  If your baggage is lost, stolen, damaged or delayed it is extremely frustrating. If you must buy new clothes, toiletry products or personal belongings it can be very expensive and time consuming.
• Cancellation
  Sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances you may need to cancel your trip. This could be due to several reasons such as illness, injury, a bereavement or many other scenarios. Usually airlines, tour operators and hotels have large cancellation fees, so buying travel insurance that covers this is recommended.
