    Travel Tips for Visitors to Mainland China
    (Part 1 of 4)

    By Ken Cheong

    China is a large country at a size of 9,596,960 sq km. China was only partially open to the world from 1980 onwards and has been a communist country for many decades. Although there is much progress in the travel industry and the infrastructure of China, there remain areas that need to be improved before it can match the level that most tourist require.

    However, much of the fun of China is that it's different from the rest of the world. China will be the host nation for the Olympics in 2008. Travel facilities and infrastructure will improve quickly as 2008 approaches.

    China is rich in culture and history. Visit the Great Wall of China in Beijing, sip Chinese tea in Xiamen, dance with ethnic tribes in Yunnan, check out 19th Century European buildings in Qingdao - there is just so much to do and see in China!

    Below are some travel tips to make your travel in China easier:

    Entry Visa
    China require entry visa from most countries. Apply at the Chinese consulate or through your travel agent before travelling to China.

    Climate
    Extremely diverse; tropical in south to subarctic in north. Be prepared with the right seasonal clothing.

    Foreign Exchange
    The unit of currency is known as Renmembi(RMB) or Yuan. Get some Chinese Yuan in your local country before travelling. When in China, exchange foreign currency for local currency in the banks or at the hotel. Banks tend to give slightly better rates than hotels. Take note that some banks close for a noon siesta between 12-2pm.

    Payment Facilities
    Most better class hotels and shopping centres take Credit Card or Travellers cheques. Smaller hotels and shops take cash only. Once out of the bigger cities, credit card and ATM cards tend to be almost impossible to utilize. Cash is still king in Chinese business and trade.

    Counterfeit notes are common in China. Check carefully before accepting change, especially if it consists mostly 100RMB notes. You can feel a texture difference where counterfeit notes is concerned.
