    Travel Tips for Visitors to Mainland China
    (Part 2 of 4)


    By Ken Cheong

    Understanding of English
    Most civil servants, custom officials, police, hotel staff and men in the street do not speak English or at best a smattering of English. Most signboards and notices will carry both English and Chinese. However, be aware that some translations can be so notorious that one can hardly understand what was it's original Chinese intention. Do not expect hotels or shops to understand English. Only the very big hotels will have staff that will understand English. Most young people can understand basic English if you speak slowly.

    Personal Security
    China is generally a safe country. However, hang on tight to your wallet especially in crowded, popular tourist sites in cities such as Beijing and Xian. These tourist cities also have a lot of scam artists in the streets hitting up tourists from currency exchange to jewelery to female companionships. Avoid them at all costs!

    Domestic Travel
    Bus, train, ferries and domestic flights are quite well-developed. Avoid the crowd at the stations and book your tickets through the hotel tour desk or the nearest tour agent. Prices are likely to be competitive and tickets will be delivered to your hotel room. Again, avoid ticket scam artists who approach you in the streets. Local buses are cheap (US$0.10 or YS$0.20) and you may want to try out. Taxis are convenient and are available at all hours. Starting fares differ from each city and may be as cheap as US$0.70 in Weihai and US$1.50 in Shenzhen.

    Avoid travel in China during peak holiday seasons or book tickets well ahead.
