Why Journey To China exists
The hard part of planning a trip to China is often not deciding what to see. It is working out what happens after you land. How far is the airport from town? Does an attraction require a reservation? Will an overseas bank card work? What exactly did you just order for dinner? The answers are scattered across booking sites, local apps, official notices and travel videos, and they do not always agree.
Journey To China was created to make that preparation easier. We bring a city's sights, food, transport and practical details together, so it is easier to move from wanting to go to knowing how to get there.
What you will find here
City pages give you the shape of a destination. The sight and food guides help you decide where to spend your time, while the transport pages cover airport arrivals, railway stations and getting around town. Our practical guides deal with the things that follow you between cities, including visas, payments, mobile data and pre-trip preparation.
We also collect travel videos worth watching. Each one keeps the creator's point of view; our Chinese and English notes are there to help you decide whether it is useful for your own trip.
The kind of travel site we want to be
Journey To China is an independent website for international travellers planning a visit to China. We are less interested in making an endless list of attractions than in the small details that change a real day out: how much extra walking the wrong entrance adds, what a dish might taste like, or which options remain when a flight arrives late.
Travel information changes, and we will not catch everything. If a page is out of date or you have first-hand information that would make it more useful, write to contact@journeytochina.org. Our Editorial Policy explains how we handle sources, reviews and corrections.
