Stay
- Confirm "foreign guest" acceptance firstIn China, not all smaller lodgings are licensed to host non-Chinese passport holders. So, it is not recommended to walk into a hotel to book. But you can:
- Check the website of the international chain-store hotel. That's because they always accept foreign guests to check in.
- Book from the OTA platform. The hotels there often accept foreign guests. But you still need to check the hotel requirements before the payment.
- Check the listing or message the host before you book.
- Bring your passport to the front desk. Hotels must register guests per local rules.

Where to Go in China?
Recommended by
Spring - Chengdu
Hot-pot heaven, magnificent Ginko scene, panda research base visits, and chilled café culture.
It's the perfect time to stroll, sip tea, and slow down, while even the pandas are in the mood for love — everything feels soft, cozy, and blissfully alive.
Summer - Beijing
Palace Museum (Forbidden City) and Hutong walks, Great Wall sunrise hikes, and late-night food streets.
Long daylight hours make room for big itineraries—hit imperial sights early, then cool off at the Summer Palace and feast after dark.
Autumn - Suzhou
The air turns crisp, the gardens glow in golden light, and every reflection on the canals feels like a painting.
It's the perfect season to wander through ancient lanes, sip osmanthus tea, and feel time slow down beside the water.
Winter - Harbin
Dazzling Ice & Snow Festival, Russian-style architecture, and steaming dumplings after sub-zero adventures.
Reliable deep-freeze conditions keep ice sculptures pristine—and off-peak travel can mean better rates on flights and hotels.
