A third, in the city at the time, said the heat was too much and that they stayed in air conditioning in the day and went out in the evening.","topic":"weather","audience":"foreign_specific","evidence":[{"sourceId":"r-sh-early-july","platform":"reddit","author":"Zoldic_h","url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/travelchina/comments/1txq2gd/","postedRaw":"1780677307","postedAt":"2026-06-06","postedBasis":"api_timestamp","firsthand":true},{"sourceId":"r-sh-early-july","platform":"reddit","author":"springbrother","url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/travelchina/comments/1txq2gd/","postedRaw":"1780677307","postedAt":"2026-06-06","postedBasis":"api_timestamp","firsthand":true},{"sourceId":"r-sh-early-july","platform":"reddit","author":"PermissionNo9332","url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/travelchina/comments/1txq2gd/","postedRaw":"1780677307","postedAt":"2026-06-06","postedBasis":"api_timestamp","firsthand":true}],"commercial":false,"caveat":"Temperatures are the travellers' own estimates, not measurements.

Here's how the weather and the holidays shape that.","body":"Short version: come in spring or autumn, and keep clear of the big national holidays. Here's how the weather and the holidays shape that.\n\n## When is the sweet spot? {#best-months}\n\nYour two windows: mid-April to May, and mid-October to November. In spring, highs sit around 20–27 °C in all six cities we cover. In October, Beijing and Xi'an reach about 19 °C, and Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Shanghai 21–24 °C [S1][S2][S3][S4][S5][S6].\n\nThe edges are cooler. March is still crisp, with 13 °C highs in Beijing, and November turns chilly up north: 10 °C highs in Beijing, lows near 0 °C [S1]. These are long-term averages (Xi'an's are older, from 1961–1990), and recent years run warmer [S1][S2][S6].\n\nShanghai's tourism office names all of spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) as the best seasons [S7]; our narrower windows come from the climate averages and the holiday dates. Just step around 1–7 October and the days around 1–5 May [S8]. Spring or autumn it is. 🍂\n\n::: photo place=fuxing-park n=5\n\n## How different is the weather across China? {#weather-by-region}\n\nQuite. Think of it as three regions.\n\n**The north (Beijing, Xi'an).** Winters are cold and dry: January lows of −7 °C in Beijing, −4 °C in Xi'an. Summers are hot, and Beijing's rain peaks in July, at about 170 mm [S1][S2].\n\n**The lower Yangtze (Shanghai, Hangzhou).** January and February bring about 10 rain days a month. June is plum-rain season (Hangzhou averages 258 mm), and July highs reach 33–34 °C [S5][S6]. In Shanghai the plum rain usually starts around 19 June [S9] and lasts 20-odd days [S7]; in 2026 it ran 18 June–7 July [S9][S10]. Shanghai also has typhoon risk, but sources differ on when it peaks: a 2008 government briefing says late July to late August [S11], the tourism office late August to mid-September [S7].\n\n**The west (Chengdu, Chongqing).** Mild winters, with January highs of 9–10 °C. Chengdu has 12 rain days a month in July and August, and Chongqing climbs to about 34 °C in August [S3][S4].\n\nFor the other cities we have only monthly averages, no plum-rain or typhoon dates. Each of our city pages, such as [Beijing](/beijing) or [Chengdu](/chengdu), shows that city's own weather month by month.\n\n## Why skip the national holidays? {#national-holidays}\n\nTwo words: crowds and prices. The three longest breaks are Chinese New Year, National Day Golden Week (1–7 October) and Labour Day (1–5 May in 2026) [S8].\n\nAt 16:00 on 1 October 2026, district counts put about 57,000 people on Nanjing Road and 29,000 on the Bund waterfront [S12]. In 2025, one budget hotel near the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (Longyang Road) went from ¥202 on 28 September to ¥794 on 1 October [S13].\n\n::: traveller source=r-golden-week-day-one\n\n::: traveller source=r-golden-week-unaware\n\n::: photo place=nanjing-road-pedestrian-street n=4\n\nBig sights sell out too: at Chinese New Year 2026, the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum's 20,000 daily tickets went at once [S14]. Over National Day 2026, Shanghai's metro closed East Nanjing Road station (Lines 2 and 10) and Line 14's Yuyuan Garden station from 16:00 each day; Line 10's Yuyuan Garden stayed open [S15]. Going anyway? Book the day sales open, and watch for the city's notices on closures and timed entry; Shanghai's 2026 National Day plan came out only days before [S15][S8].\n\nSmall family-run shops and many neighbourhood restaurants close for the first few days of Chinese New Year, says a Shanghai guide from a language school (written for Chinese New Year 2020); big stores, chain restaurants and museums stay open [S21].\n\n## Are the 2027 holidays out yet? {#holidays-2027}\n\nNot yet. The 2026 days off were announced on 4 November 2025 [S8]; on 5 October 2026 we found no 2027 notice.\n\nThe festival dates themselves are fixed: Chinese New Year on 6 February, Qingming on 5 April, Labour Day on 1 May, Dragon Boat on 9 June and Mid-Autumn on 15 September 2027 [S16]. The days off around them are not. The likely windows on the calendar above, such as 5–12 February for Chinese New Year, are a third-party estimate [S17]: treat them as a guess until the notice lands.\n\n## Booking trains around a holiday {#holiday-trains}\n\nTickets go on sale 15 days ahead [S18]; around Chinese New Year, popular trains can sell out fast [S19]. Tickets for 14 February 2026, the eve of the 9-day break, went on sale on 31 January [S19]. Our [Book ahead page](/before-you-go/book-ahead) explains the 15-day sales window, along with museum and sight bookings.\n\nThe Chinese New Year travel rush ran 2 February–13 March 2026 [S20]. For 2027 we'd expect roughly 22 January–2 March; that's our estimate from the 2026 pattern, and the 2026 dates were announced in late January 2026 [S20][S16].\n\n::: traveller

Then a few things still matter around it: your passport, the arrival card, the end dates and where you sleep. ✈️","body":"The short version: ordinary passports from 50 countries on China's list, plus 29 with mutual agreements, can now stay 30 days without a visa [S7][S20]. On the mutual route that's up to 30 days per stay and 90 days in any 180 [S21]. Found your route in the finder above? Then a few things still matter around it: your passport, the arrival card, the end dates and where you sleep. ✈️\n\n## How long should my passport be valid? {#passport-validity}\n\nSix months is the safe answer, because it covers every route. The 10-day transit officially asks for at least 3 months [S1]. A visa application wants more than 6 months and 2 blank pages [S2]. The 30-day visa-free route only says your passport must cover the trip [S3].\n\nSame advice from the UK government to British visitors: 6 months and 2 blank pages [S4].\n\n## Do I need the arrival card? {#arrival-card}\n\nMost likely, yes. Since 20 November 2025 you can fill it in online before you land — on the immigration website (s.nia.gov.cn), in the NIA 12367 app, or in the WeChat or Alipay mini program [S5][S1]. Forgot? The airport has a QR code, kiosks and paper cards [S1].\n\nIt's free. On 2 December 2025 the National Immigration Administration (NIA) warned that copycat websites charge for the card, so stick to s.nia.gov.cn or the QR code at the airport [S6].\n\nStaying airside on a direct transit under 24 hours? Then you can skip it [S5][S1]. Our [China arrival card page](/before-you-go/arrival-card) walks through the form step by step, with screenshots, and lists all eight groups who don't need it.\n\n::: traveller source=r-cv-x\n\n::: traveller source=r-visa-free-bj-printouts\n\n::: figure id=pvg-immigration-sign\n\n## Will the 30 days still be there next year? {#end-dates}\n\nMaybe; nothing is announced yet. For 48 of the 50 countries, the 30-day policy runs to 31 December 2026 [S3]. Russia's runs to 31 December 2027 [S8], and Brunei's has no end date [S3].\n\nThe policy has been extended before. Last year's extension was announced on 3 November 2025, and it added Sweden to the list [S9]. So if your trip falls in early 2027, check again in November and December. Curious how the rules changed since 2023? Our [note on outdated claims](/notes/outdated-claims) lines up the old rules people still quote with what official pages say now.\n\n## Is a copy of my passport enough? {#passport-carry}\n\nNo. Carry your original passport: the UK government says police make random checks and don't accept printed copies [S10].\n\nOn the 10-day transit there's nothing to apply for in advance: you ask at the border when you land and get a temporary entry permit sticker in your passport [S11]. Hotels then use that sticker to check you in [S11].\n\n::: figure id=china-transit-entry-permit\n\n## Who registers where I stay? {#accom-24h}\n\nEvery foreign visitor, visa-free ones included, must be registered within 24 hours [S12][S13][S10]. At a hotel it's simple: they do it at check-in [S12].\n\nStaying with friends or in a rented flat? Then you or your host must register [S12], online in the NIA 12367 app or mini program, or at the local police station [S12][S13].\n\n## I have a US passport. What now? {#us-passports}\n\nThe United States is on the 10-day transit list, not on either 30-day list [S14][S7]. The transit needs an onward ticket to a third country or region and a passport valid for at least 3 months [S14][S1]. London–Shanghai–Hong Kong works [S18]; New York–Shanghai–New York doesn't, because you'd fly back to where you came from [S19]. The finder above has more examples. The list keeps growing, too: Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam joined in August 2026 [S15].\n\n::: traveller source=r-twov-delta-snag\n\n::: traveller source=r-twov-uk-shanghai\n\nStaying more than 10 days, or flying home from Shanghai? Then the transit doesn't fit [S14], so you'll need a visa; for a holiday that's the tourist (L) visa. In the US you fill in the form online [S16]. At the San Francisco consulate, for example, you then hand in your passport with no appointment needed, and it averages about 4 working days [S2]. US citizens pay US$140, a reduced fee that runs to 31 December 2026 [S17].\n\n\nAll of this is for reference only. Entry rules change often, so confirm with the Chinese embassy or consulate, or the NIA, before you book.","sources":[{"id":"S1","title":"NIA, Announcement NO.4 [2025]: 10 immigration and exit-entry

Skip it, and the border still has a QR code, kiosks and paper cards. Eight groups are exempt, including 24-hour airside transit and visa-free tour groups.\n\n## What is it, and when did it go online? {#official-form}\n\nThis used to be a paper card you filled in at the border. Since 20 November 2025, the NIA's announcement lets foreigners send the same entry information online before coming to China [S1]. The NIA says online filling is free [S2]. Travellers say you end up with a QR code to keep on your phone. 📱\n\nYou can file it on the NIA website, the government services platform, the \"NIA 12367\" app, the WeChat and Alipay mini programs, or through a filling QR code from its notices [S1]. The official website is s.nia.gov.cn. For English, pick the language, then Entry Declaration [S3]. Plenty of ways in.\n\n## Do you have to fill it in? {#who-needs-it}\n\nForeigners entering China can fill in their entry information through the system. It lists eight groups who don't need to [S3]:\n\n- holders of a Chinese permanent resident ID card;\n- holders of a Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents (non-Chinese);\n- people transiting directly within 24 hours without leaving the restricted area of the port;\n- members of foreign tourist groups who are visa-free or hold a group visa;\n- foreign crew, drivers and other employees of transport vehicles;\n- people who enter by cruise ship and return with the same cruise;\n- people eligible for courteous centralized submission of entry and exit documents;\n- people who enter through the E-channel.\n\nThe November 2025 notices reposted by Chinese consulates list seven groups, without the courteous-submission group. We follow the live system [S4][S5][S3]. None of these pages explains who qualifies for the E-channel.\n\n::: figure id=nia-card-instructions look=screenshot\n\nTravelling visa-free on your own? You're not on the list. Neither is anyone using the 240-hour transit rule. The NIA's conditions for it require the Arrival Card for Temporary Entry Foreigners, and the system says transit travellers who leave the port within 24 or 240 hours fill in their entry information there [S1][S3]. Stay airside for under 24 hours and you're exempt. Our [Visa page](/before-you-go/visa) explains who can use the 240-hour transit and how its clock is counted.\n\n::: traveller source=r-pristine-firefighter\n\n## Three ways to fill it in {#three-ways}\n\nBefore you fly is easiest. The border has you covered too: the notices list a phone QR code, smart devices at the port, or a paper card [S1][S4].\n\n| | Where | Good for | Watch for |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Online | NIA website, 12367 app, WeChat or Alipay mini program [S1] | Doing it calmly at home, with a QR code to save, say travellers | Only the NIA's own site and app; copies charge fees [S2] |\n| At the port | Phone QR code or smart devices in the arrival hall [S1] | You forgot, or have no data | Done after landing, on the border inspection site [S1] |\n| Paper card | Staff at the border inspection site [S1] | A back-up when the online form fails | Chinese and English; laid out differently from the online form [S7] |\n\nThe paper card is blue, with a front and a back. A scan shared on Wikimedia Commons shows the front asking for name, sex, nationality, date of birth, passport number, flight, phone number, cities to visit, a purpose box, and your address or hotel name. The back asks whether you have booked a departure ticket, whether you have a host in China, and which countries you visited in the past two years, then a signature [S7]. The current card may differ.\n\n::: figure id=china-paper-arrival-card-front\n\n::: figure id=china-paper-arrival-card-back\n\n::: traveller source=r-guojing322\n\n## Fill it in online, step by step {#what-you-need}\n\nThe form runs through five steps: upload your document page, basic information, personal information, travel information, then any companions [S3]. Have these ready: your passport, your flight or train number, a phone number, and your address in China. Step 2 also asks how you arrive and your city and port of entry. Step 3 asks for your country of birth and, if you have no visa, your entry policy: visa-free entry, 24- or 240-hour transit, or an emergency permit [S3]. The screenshots show made-up details.\n\n::: steps ids=nia-card-step1-crop,nia-card-step2-crop,nia-card-step3-crop,nia-card-step4-crop,nia-card-step5-crop title=\"The online form\"\n\nThe system's notice warns that omitting or concealing information while filling in may lead to denied entry or transit [S3].\n\n::: traveller source=r-sonamyfan\n\n## Where people slip {#common-mistakes}\n\n**Copycat sites.** On 2 December 2025 the NIA warned that overseas fraudsters copy the filling site and charge money, and repeated that online filling is free [S2]. Beijing's foreign affairs office reposted the warning on 31 December 2025 [S6]. If a site asks you to pay, it's not the official one.\n\n**The entry date.** On 11 October 2026 the form's date picker accepted entry dates from today to about three months ahead. That comes from the form itself, not from a notice; the notices we read give no earliest or latest time [S3][S1][S4][S5].\n\n**The purpose of entry.** The form lists 12 purposes, from Conference/Business and Visit to Work, Study and Transit, and you choose one [S3]. Here as a tourist? Choose Sightseeing/Leisure.\n\n::: traveller source=r-past-eng\n\n**City and port of entry.** Both are required [S3]. Coming from Hong Kong by high-speed train, it can look as if there's no Hong Kong port, but a traveller in May 2026 found it: choose Guangdong, then Shenzhen, then West Kowloon.\n\n**Your name.** A Chinese name is optional on the form [S3].\n\n## What happens at the border {#at-the-border}\n\n::: traveller source=r-trainerkittyk\n\n::: traveller source=r-omchan\n\n::: figure id=pvg-immigration-sign\n\n## What if you did not fill it in? {#no-online}\n\nForeigners who can't fill it in beforehand can complete it at the border inspection site by phone QR code, smart device or paper card [S1][S4][S5].

WeChat asks for a copy of your passport if you verify with one [S2]. Alipay may ask for passport details and a face scan, especially for larger payments, says a payments company's guide [S3]; no official English page sets this out, and travellers report it on the first purchase.

American Express is a half-yes on Alipay: it takes only cards issued by Amex itself, not Amex cards from other banks [S5].\n\nA supported network still doesn't guarantee your card will link; the issuing bank matters too [S1]. So bring two cards from different banks.\n\nAlready use AlipayHK, Kakao Pay, Naver Pay, GCash or Touch 'n Go?

Above that, a fee of 3% of the full amount may apply [S6][S2].\n\nThe app shows the fee before you confirm [S6]. Your bank may add its own foreign-transaction fee on top [S3].\n\n## How much can you pay at once? {#limits}\n\nHere the official pages don't agree. Shanghai government pages give US$5,000 per payment and US$50,000 a year for both apps [S6][S1]. WeChat's help centre gives ¥6,500 per payment, ¥50,000 a month and ¥65,000 a year [S2]. We haven't found an Alipay page that settles it.\n\nSo before a big payment, such as a hotel bill, check the limit the app shows for your account [S6].\n\n## Can you just tap your card? {#card-direct}\n\nSometimes, yes. Most contactless Visa, Mastercard, Amex, JCB or UnionPay cards (some chip types excluded) open the gates on the Shanghai metro [S7], and Beijing's network takes them too [S8]; other cities vary. By March 2026, Shanghai Metro had handled more than 1.6 million bank-card taps [S9].\n\nBeyond the metro, about 66,000 Shanghai merchants accepted domestic and foreign bank cards at the end of October 2025 [S10], and some taxis have card terminals [S6]. Outside the big cities, cards are accepted less often [S11]. For metro QR codes, DiDi and taxis, see our [Getting around page](/before-you-go/getting-around).\n\n::: figure id=shanghai-metro-qr-gate\n\n## Do you still need cash? {#cash}\n\nA little, yes. Since 1 February 2026, staffed shops and services must accept cash and keep change; self-service machines and online-only services must instead post how to pay, which may not include cash [S12].\n\nATMs showing your card's logo give up to ¥3,000 per withdrawal [S6], and Pudong arrivals has ATMs and exchange machines [S13]. Bring a few hundred yuan, with some 10, 20 and 50 notes in the mix; the small notes are our suggestion, not a rule. And check your change: the UK government warns that fake 100-yuan notes occur, even from ATMs [S11].\n\n## What about Tour Pass or TourCard? {#tour-pass}\n\nDon't plan on them. Shanghai's government pages don't mention Tour Pass or TourCard; they describe only linking your own card [S1]. Commercial guides say Tour Pass was discontinued and TourCard sign-ups were due to stop on 29 May 2026 [S14][S15][S16], but we found no official notice from Alipay or a bank, so this is not confirmed.\n\nWant to know which other apps to install before the trip? Our [Apps page](/before-you-go/apps) runs through Alipay, WeChat, Amap, DiDi, Trip.com and Meituan.","sources":[{"id":"S1","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, How to use mobile payments in Shanghai","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-Individuals-BankingandPayments-Payments/20260920/4fc94c2f0e6b47e7939969415e5feb04.html","date":"published 2026-09-20, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S2","title":"WeChat Help Center, Guide to Add and Use International Cards with Weixin Pay","url":"https://help.wechat.com/cgi-bin/micromsg-bin/oshelpcenter?Channel=helpcenter&id=2307252mur7f2307257zfyfe&lang=en&opcode=2&plat=ios","date":"read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S3","title":"Wise, How Alipay International works for UK travellers (a payments company's guide)","url":"https://wise.com/gb/blog/alipay-international-uk","date":"published 2026-07-24, read 2026-10-05","kind":"guide"},{"id":"S4","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, From plane to city: One-stop service centers at airports","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-LatestNews/20260319/526f61df226649a58acf4b174d18f8aa.html","date":"published 2026-03-19, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S5","title":"Alipay (Ant International), American Express and Alipay to Enable Seamless Payments for International Travelers in China","url":"https://idocs.alipay.com/intl-website/intl-website/en/american-express-and-alipay-to-enable-seamless-payments-for-international-travelers-in-china","date":"published 2025-02-25, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S6","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, Pay with overseas bank cards","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-Individuals-BankingandPayments-Payments/20260921/c2c94d06a0454c8fa05386b80d0ae865.html","date":"published 2026-09-21, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S7","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, Shanghai Metro expands Tap to Ride pilot to entire network","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-Latest-WhatsNew/20250627/d8f21f2e7d3b45a5b03757e35039b806.html","date":"published 2025-06-27, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S8","title":"Beijing Municipal People's Government, Which payment methods are available for taking the subway in Beijing?","url":"https://english.beijing.gov.cn/contactus/faqs/list/202602/t20260209_4502729.html","date":"undated FAQ (URL dated 2026-02-09), read 2026-10-08","kind":"official"},{"id":"S9","title":"Sina Finance, reporting the PBOC Shanghai Head Office, 央行上海总部：境内居民、境外旅客可使用银行卡在上海地铁刷卡过闸","url":"https://finance.sina.com.cn/jjxw/2026-04-28/doc-inhvzshh8531473.shtml","date":"published 2026-04-28, read 2026-10-05","kind":"news"},{"id":"S10","title":"Shanghai Municipal Financial Work Committee, 持续推进上海国际金融中心能级提升","url":"https://jrj.sh.gov.cn/ZXYW178/20260421/402bd561ffcb45aa9bb4a8968474bf47.html","date":"published 2026-04-21, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S11","title":"UK FCDO, Foreign travel advice: China — Safety and security","url":"https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/china/safety-and-security","date":"updated 2026-08-27, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S12","title":"Xinhua, 人民币现金收付及服务迎新规","url":"https://www.news.cn/fortune/20251221/915d033da6fa44288c594906b348ead7/c.html","date":"published 2025-12-21, read 2026-10-05","kind":"news"},{"id":"S13","title":"Shanghai Airport Authority, 便利外籍人员来华 上海浦东机场启用外籍人员一站式综合服务中心","url":"https://www.shairport.com/mtjj/info_itemid_39761.html","date":"published 2024-06-30, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S14","title":"China Neighbor, Alipay TourPass: Discontinued — What to Use Instead (2026)","url":"https://chinaneighbor.com/ar/guide/essentials/alipay-tourpass-discontinued/","date":"published 2026-09-04, read 2026-10-03","kind":"guide"},{"id":"S15","title":"MapTrip, Alipay for Foreigners: Setup, Fees & Limits (2026)","url":"https://maptrip.ai/guides/alipay-for-foreigners","date":"published 2026-08-21, read 2026-10-03","kind":"guide"},{"id":"S16","title":"China Guidelines, China Tour Card 2026: Full Guide for Foreigners","url":"https://chinaguidelines.com/en/posts/tour-card","date":"published 2026-05-03, read 2026-10-05","kind":"guide"}],"places":[]}},{"id":"internet","title":"Internet & SIM","stage":"setup","illustration":"internet","checkedAt":"2026-10-05","keyFact":{"tag":"Get","value":"eSIM + local SIM if needed","label":"Travellers report a travel eSIM routed abroad usually keeps Google and WhatsApp working; add a Chinese SIM for a +86 number."},"overview":"Travellers report that a travel eSIM routed through Hong Kong usually keeps Google, Gmail and WhatsApp working; unlimited plans ran about US$4 a day for short trips (October 2026).

The usual setup: a travel eSIM for data, your home line for SMS codes, and a Chinese SIM only if you want food delivery and the like. Here's how the pieces fit. 📶\n\n## What's blocked in China? {#blocked-services}\n\nQuite a lot of what you use at home. The UK government says Google, Facebook, YouTube and X are permanently blocked, and other sites can be blocked at times [S1].\n\nFCDO doesn't say which networks this covers; travellers report hotel Wi-Fi is filtered the same way. So before you fly, save offline copies of your tickets, your hotel address and your maps.\n\n## Will a travel eSIM get me online? {#travel-esim}\n\nUsually, yes. Travellers report that most travel eSIMs carry your data to a gateway outside the mainland, often Hong Kong, so Google and WhatsApp usually load. Pick a listing that says it routes via Hong Kong, or that Google and WhatsApp work. A \"local\" Chinese plan stays filtered.\n\nSellers' unlimited China plans worked out at about US$4 a day on short plans, down to about US$2.30 on 30-day plans, when we read them on 11 October 2026; smaller data-capped plans cost less [S2][S3][S4]. None of them gives you a Chinese +86 number. Install yours before you fly.\n\nOne honest caveat: no official Chinese or UK source explains this routing, or how it fits with the licensing rule below, so it isn't confirmed. The routing and prices come from the sellers and from travellers. Reports from July to September 2026 are mixed, too: many travellers had slow or dropped data in Shanghai, others had no trouble, and switching airplane mode off and on sometimes helped.\n\n::: traveller source=r-salmon\n\n::: figure id=pvg-t2-arrivals-gate\n\n## What about VPNs? {#vpn-law}\n\nThe UK government says China's cybersecurity laws require online products and services, for example VPNs, to be licensed by the Chinese government [S1].\n\nThat's all we'll say on it. We restate the rule; we don't recommend or explain VPNs.\n\n## Do I need a Chinese phone number? {#home-number}\n\nNot for the basics. Alipay and WeChat Pay register with a foreign number that can receive SMS [S5][S6], and DiDi China supports foreign mobile numbers [S7].\n\nWhere a +86 number helps is food delivery, some WeChat ticket bookings, shared bikes and Taobao. That list comes from 2026 traveller reports, not from the apps themselves. Our [Apps page](/before-you-go/apps) explains which apps to install, what a mini program is, and whether food delivery needs a local number.\n\nWhatever you do, keep your home line switched on. Bank and app codes arrive there by SMS, and our [Paying page](/before-you-go/payments) shows how to set up Alipay with it before you land.\n\n::: traveller source=r-nickexp\n\n::: figure id=wechat-alipay-qr-sticker\n\n## Where do I get a Chinese SIM? {#sim-official}\n\nAt the airport is easiest. At Pudong, the one-stop centre in public arrivals sells 7-, 15- and 30-day China Telecom SIMs; bring your passport [S8]. One-stop centres also sit in the international arrivals halls of Pudong T1 and T2 and Hongqiao T1 [S9]. SIM counters in Pudong's baggage hall and carrier stores in the city sell SIMs too [S8][S10].\n\nWhat does it cost? At launch in March 2024 the cards were 85, 125 and 195 yuan in Shanghai Telecom stores; we found no 2026 official price list [S11]. And on 5 October 2026 the airport's own page showed \"not available now\" beside one one-stop desk, without making the terminal clear [S12]. Check on arrival.\n\nIf you use an iPhone bought abroad, it has to be a physical SIM: iPhones bought outside the mainland can't install a Chinese carrier eSIM [S13]. Buying online through the Nihao Mobile app asks for your Chinese visa page [S10]. Came visa-free? Then you won't have one, so we'd say the airport is the simpler route. While you're there, Pudong's free Wi-Fi logs you in when you scan your passport photo page [S8].\n\n::: figure id=china-telecom-store\n\n::: traveller source=r-3weeks-sim\n\n::: traveller source=r-cutie","sources":[{"id":"S1","title":"UK FCDO, Foreign travel advice: China — Safety and security","url":"https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/china/safety-and-security","date":"updated 2026-08-27, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S2","title":"Airalo, China eSIM (a seller's page)","url":"https://www.airalo.com/china-esim","date":"read 2026-10-11","kind":"guide"},{"id":"S3","title":"Holafly, eSIM China (a seller's page)","url":"https://esim.holafly.com/esim-china/","date":"read 2026-10-11","kind":"guide"},{"id":"S4","title":"Nomad, China eSIM (a seller's page)","url":"https://www.getnomad.app/china-esim","date":"read 2026-10-11","kind":"guide"},{"id":"S5","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, How to use mobile payments in Shanghai","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-Individuals-BankingandPayments-Payments/20260920/4fc94c2f0e6b47e7939969415e5feb04.html","date":"published 2026-09-20, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S6","title":"WeChat Help Center, Guide to Add and Use International Cards with Weixin Pay","url":"https://help.wechat.com/cgi-bin/micromsg-bin/oshelpcenter?Channel=helpcenter&id=2307252mur7f2307257zfyfe&lang=en&opcode=2&plat=ios","date":"read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S7","title":"Apple App Store, DiDi China: Ride Hailing (publisher Didi Chuxing)","url":"https://apps.apple.com/us/app/didi-china-ride-hailing/id554499054","date":"read 2026-10-05","kind":"site"},{"id":"S8","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, Pudong airport upgrades international traveler services","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-Latest-WhatsNew/20260424/88cde5e96ef242daa534102069450a03.html","date":"published 2026-04-24, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S9","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, From plane to city: One-stop service centers at airports","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-LatestNews/20260319/526f61df226649a58acf4b174d18f8aa.html","date":"published 2026-03-19, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S10","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, A guide to setting up mobile services","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-Individuals-MobileandInternet-Mobilephone/20260813/cb62ccf29651428f995a92255cd3291a.html","date":"updated 2025-08-22, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S11","title":"China News (中新网), 上海电信运营商推出外籍及港澳台人士\"短期电话卡\"","url":"https://www.chinanews.com.cn/sh/2024/03-14/10180123.shtml","date":"published 2024-03-14, read 2026-10-05","kind":"news"},{"id":"S12","title":"Shanghai Airport (shanghaiairport.com), One-Stop Comprehensive Service Center (Pudong)","url":"https://www.shanghaiairport.com/enpd/fuwusheshi/index_lcid_676.html","date":"read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S13","title":"Apple Support, Using eSIM with your iPhone in China mainland","url":"https://support.apple.com/en-us/123879","date":"published 2026-09-09, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"}],"places":[]}},{"id":"apps","title":"Apps","stage":"setup","illustration":"apps","checkedAt":"2026-10-05","keyFact":{"tag":"Install","value":"7 apps","label":"Alipay, WeChat, Amap, DiDi, Trip.com, Meituan or Taobao Instant Commerce, plus an offline translator."},"overview":"Alipay and WeChat to pay, Amap to find your way, DiDi for taxis, Trip.com for trains, and Meituan or Taobao Instant Commerce for food delivery.

This part covers how they actually behave once you land: the little apps hiding inside Alipay and WeChat, the metro code, translation without Google, trains and food delivery. 🧭\n\n## What's a mini program? {#mini-programs}\n\nA mini program is a small app that runs inside Alipay or WeChat [S1][S2]. Think of it as an app within the app.\n\nDiDi, the metro code, Trip.com, food delivery and many museum tickets are all mini programs [S1][S2]. Many are Chinese-only, so when you meet one, tap the app's translate button [S3].\n\n::: traveller source=r-month-tips\n\n::: traveller source=r-gaoshan\n\n## Does Alipay's metro code work? {#metro-code}\n\nIt's meant to. In Alipay, open Transport (交通出行) and activate the metro code for the city you're in. Each city has its own code [S1]. One traveller was asked for a face check while setting it up; another had to pass a passport-and-selfie check after Alipay locked the account for 'fraud risk'.\n\nA small honest note: Shanghai government pages don't say outright that the code works with a foreign-card account.\n\nIf it won't activate, buy a ticket, or in Shanghai just tap a contactless card at the gate [S4]. Our [Paying page](/before-you-go/payments) lists which foreign cards open Shanghai's and Beijing's metro gates.\n\n::: figure id=shanghai-metro-qr-gate\n\nTwo travellers on Reddit (August 2026) couldn't activate it, one for Shanghai and Beijing, one before landing.\n\n::: traveller source=r-metro-activate\n\n## Can I use Google Translate? {#translate}\n\nOnline, often not. In September 2022, Google told TechCrunch it had discontinued Google Translate in mainland China, citing low usage [S6]. Google is blocked on Chinese networks too [S5], so online Google Translate fails on hotel Wi-Fi or a Chinese SIM. Travellers say it usually works on a travel eSIM that routes abroad.\n\nThe fix is easy: download Chinese before you fly. That gives you offline text translation, and camera translation for some languages [S7]. On an iPhone, Apple Translate works offline too, for text and voice [S8][S9], though offline translations may be less accurate [S8]. Our [Internet page](/before-you-go/internet) explains which eSIMs route abroad and what stays blocked.\n\n::: traveller source=r-worldly\n\n## Trip.com or 12306 for trains? {#trains}\n\n12306 is China Railway's own site, in English, and it takes foreign passports [S10]; Trip.com's guide says 12306 charges no fee [S11]. The catch: its passport check is automatic or manual [S10]. Trip.com's guide says a manual check often takes 1–2 hours [S11]; we found no official time.\n\nTrip.com sells the same tickets in English for a small service fee [S11]. Either way, sales open 15 days ahead, counting the travel day [S12][S14]. Booking sights and museums too? Our [Book ahead page](/before-you-go/book-ahead) has a table of when tickets open for each of our places.\n\n::: figure id=fuxing-train-platform\n\n::: traveller source=r-12306-verify\n\n## Can I order food delivery? {#delivery-number}\n\nMaybe, and this one isn't settled. Meituan signs you in with an SMS code, and the Shanghai government guide shows only Chinese buttons [S13]. Some travellers ordered with a foreign number; others couldn't. We haven't found a source that confirms either way.\n\nYou can also order through a mini program inside WeChat or Alipay. Fill in the full hotel address, with your room number, and a phone number the rider can call [S13].

They sell named, timed tickets online, often about 7 days ahead, and good dates go fast. Book those few on day one, with the passport you'll carry, and the rest of the trip stays easy. 🎟️\n\n## How does booking work? {#how-booking-works}\n\nPopular museums and sights sell a fixed number of tickets for each date and time slot, and every ticket carries the visitor's name [S3][S13]. Sales usually open about 7 days ahead. Some places keep their own clock: Shanghai Museum's Americas exhibition releases the next month's tickets at 12:00 on the 1st [S1].\n\nDemand is real. At the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, a local paper said weekend tickets were hard to get (February 2026) [S4].\n\nBook on the official website, WeChat mini-program or app, with the passport you will carry [S2][S5]. At the Forbidden City, staff check it at the gate [S6]. The table at the top of this page shows, place by place, when sales open, whether same-day tickets exist and whether passports work.\n\n::: photo place=shanghai-museum-east n=3\n\n::: traveller source=r-cv-x\n\n## Which big sights need it most? {#big-sights}\n\nStart with the Forbidden City in Beijing. It sells real-name tickets online, officially with no ticket office, and passports are accepted [S5]. Tickets go on sale at 20:00, 7 days ahead, and none are sold on the day [S6].\n\nFrom our own visits: we've tried it in person, and as foreigners at the ticket office there is some chance of getting a same-day ticket. But it has never been an official route, and the museum doesn't recognise it. If you'd like to try, go for it, but keep your hopes low and have another plan for the day. You'll also see people online offering a ticket that \"gets you in\" on the day. We checked: they take you to the window and have you buy the ticket yourself with your own passport, so look carefully before you pay anyone. Our note on [common outdated claims](/notes/outdated-claims) has the full story, along with the old rules people still quote on visa-free stays, the Terracotta Army, Shanghai Museum and paying by phone.\n\n::: traveller source=r-fc-walk-in-feb\n\n::: traveller source=r-fc-on-the-spot\n\n::: photo place=forbidden-city n=1\n\nThe National Museum of China, also in Beijing, is free, but you still book: up to 7 days ahead, with slots released daily at 17:00 [S7]. For the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, book only through the museum's official website or WeChat accounts, which it says all visitors must use [S8]. Shanghai Museum is split in two. At the East branch, individual visitors walk in without booking. At People's Square, everyone needs a ticket while the Americas exhibition runs (9 July 2026–14 November 2027), sold through the museum's WeChat mini program, Trip.com for visitors from abroad, and a ticket office on site [S1][S2].\n\nEach one has a place page with its booking channel, release time, opening hours and how to get there: the [Forbidden City](/places/forbidden-city), the [National Museum](/places/national-museum-of-china), the [Terracotta Army](/places/terracotta-army) and [Shanghai Museum](/places/shanghai-museum-peoples-square).\n\n## When do train tickets go on sale? {#trains}\n\nOn 12306, the national railway's booking system, tickets go on sale 15 days ahead, counting the travel day [S9]. During the Chinese New Year rush, some popular trains may sell out quickly [S10]. Tickets for 14 February 2026, the eve of the Chinese New Year break, went on sale on 31 January [S10].\n\nSold out? Join 12306's waitlist (候补, houbu) [S10]. And bring your passport — you need it to buy the ticket and again to board [S11].\n\nEach station starts selling at its own time [S10]. Our [Getting around page](/before-you-go/getting-around) lists those start times for our cities' main stations, along with the fastest trains between them and how to book on Trip.com or 12306.\n\n::: traveller source=r-12306-register-crash\n\n::: figure id=beijing-south-waiting-hall\n\n## Which of our places need booking? {#our-places}\n\nFewer than you might think. Most streets, parks, temples and galleries in this guide are walk-in, from the Bund to Jing'an Temple [P:the-bund][P:jingan-temple]. The table at the top of this page lists the ones that aren't, straight from our place pages, and each city page, such as [Beijing](/beijing) or [Xi'an](/xian), groups its book-first places in one list. 🌿\n\nA few walk-in places switch to booking at peak times. Yuyuan Garden needs it during the Yuyuan Lantern Festival around Chinese New Year [P:yuyuan-garden][S12]. Near Chengdu, Dujiangyan and Mount Qingcheng need it in public-holiday periods such as Golden Week [P:dujiangyan][P:mount-qingcheng]. Each place page says when.","sources":[{"id":"S1","title":"Shanghai Museum, \"世界树之巅：美洲古代文明大展\"参观购票指南","url":"https://www.shanghaimuseum.net/mu/frontend/pg/article/id/I00005037","date":"published 2026-05-08, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S2","title":"Shanghai Museum, 上海博物馆参观公告 (reservation site)","url":"https://reservation.shanghaimuseum.net/","date":"read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S3","title":"Shanghai Natural History Museum, Online tickets, foreign-visitor page (网上售票)","url":"https://nao.snhm.org.cn/foreign/cgfw/wssp.htm","date":"read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S4","title":"Morning News (新闻晨报) via Tencent News, \"比游乐园还好玩\"，周末门票难抢，上海科技馆怎么玩？","url":"https://news.qq.com/rain/a/20260228A03KRZ00","date":"published 2026-02-28, read 2026-10-05","kind":"news"},{"id":"S5","title":"The Palace Museum, International site (links to the ticket booking site)","url":"http://intl.dpm.org.cn/index.html","date":"read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S6","title":"The Palace Museum, Visitor notice: ticketing, security and bag deposit","url":"https://www.dpm.org.cn/singles_detail/259831.html","date":"read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"},{"id":"S7","title":"National Museum of China, Visitor booking rules (观众预约须知), effective 1 August 2025","url":"https://www.chnmuseum.cn/gbgg/202507/t20250725_272247.shtml","date":"published 2025-07-25, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S8","title":"Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum, Tickets","url":"https://www.bmy.com.cn/jingtai/bmyweb/ticketing.html","date":"read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S9","title":"China Railway 12306, 铁路互联网购票须知","url":"https://kyfw.12306.cn/otn/gonggao/saleTicketMeans.html?linktypeid=means3","date":"read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"},{"id":"S10","title":"Beijing Daily (京报网), 春节假期前夜火车票今日开抢","url":"https://news.bjd.com.cn/2026/01/31/11557117.shtml","date":"published 2026-01-31, read 2026-10-05","kind":"news"},{"id":"S11","title":"UK FCDO, Foreign travel advice: China (print)","url":"https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/china/print","date":"updated 2026-08-27, read 2026-10-03","kind":"official"},{"id":"S12","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government (source: Huangpu District Government), 2026上海豫园灯会亮灯，带来36天沉浸式海派年味盛宴","url":"https://www.shanghai.gov.cn/nw17239/20260206/c98e844d02e64a4aa41c1f8bc68deea8.html","date":"published 2026-01-27, read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"},{"id":"S13","title":"Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism, 2026 China Tourism Day venue listing","url":"https://cmp.whlyj.sh.gov.cn/CMP/news_view.ac?id=b02d8bc0f56d4f15827bd50b87989437","date":"published 2026-05-13, read 2026-10-05","kind":"official"}],"places":["the-bund","jingan-temple","yuyuan-garden","dujiangyan","mount-qingcheng","shanghai-museum-east","forbidden-city"]}},{"id":"getting-around","title":"Getting around","stage":"ground","illustration":"around","checkedAt":"2026-10-09","keyFact":{"tag":"Metro","value":"Scan a code or tap a card","label":"In Shanghai, scan Alipay's transport code or tap a foreign contactless card; Beijing's metro takes cards too."},"overview":"Four tools get you almost anywhere: Amap for maps, an Alipay metro code or a contactless card for the metro, DiDi or Amap for taxis, and Trip.com or 12306 for high-speed trains.

Trip.com or 12306 for high-speed trains. Save your hotel's address in Chinese, and you're ready to roll. 🚄\n\n## How do I pay for the metro? {#metro}\n\nScan a code or tap a card. Alipay's transport code (交通出行) works on the Shanghai metro [S1]; a travel-guide site says Beijing and 100+ other cities too [S5]. In Shanghai, WeChat and the Metro Daduhui app work too [S1].\n\nPrefer a card? Beijing's metro takes Visa and Mastercard by tap [S4], and Shanghai also takes Amex, JCB and UnionPay. Use the card to enter and exit [S2]. In Shanghai, small password-free payments must be switched on, and Type-B and no-ODA cards don't work [S2]. Or just buy a single-journey ticket from a machine; the fare depends on the distance [S3].\n\nOther cities? That site names Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing and Hangzhou among them, and says buses usually take the code too [S5]. We found no operator or government page for those four cities, so it's not confirmed. Check the city page.\n\n::: figure id=shanghai-metro-qr-gate\n\n::: traveller source=jp-solo-alipay\n\n## Which map app works? {#maps}\n\nAmap. Google Maps is blocked in China [S6]. Amap works in English, Japanese, Korean and more [S7][S8], and its main features work without logging in [S7]. Search the English name, then check the Chinese name before you set off [S9].\n\n## How do I show a driver where to go? {#chinese-address}\n\nShow the address in Chinese. Every place page in this guide has the Chinese name and address, like [the Bund's](/places/the-bund) [P:the-bund]. Save your hotel's too, as a screenshot; that's our suggestion, not an official rule. Amap also has bilingual phrase cards for drivers and hotel staff [S7].\n\n## How do taxis work? {#taxis}\n\nDiDi is the easy route. Book it in its own app, or inside Alipay, WeChat or Amap, and pay in the app. The driver already has the destination [S11][S12][S10]. At Beijing Capital, for example, ride-hail pickups are in a separate zone in the car park, not at the taxi rank [S30].\n\nOn the street, use only marked, metered taxis; in a marked taxi, note its number and let someone know where you are [S6]. Asking for a receipt is our suggestion. Some taxis take foreign cards [S13]; carrying some cash is our suggestion. Our [Safety page](/before-you-go/safety) has the emergency numbers and the scams worth knowing about.\n\n::: figure id=shanghai-street-taxi\n\n## How do I book a high-speed train? {#trains}\n\nBook on the official 12306 English site or app [S14], or on Trip.com, a commercial English-language booking site [S15]. Book with your passport, and bring that same passport to board [S14][S6].\n\n::: figure id=fuxing-train-platform\n\n## When do tickets go on sale? {#trains-between-cities}\n\n15 days ahead, counting the travel day. On 9 October 2026, 12306 showed tickets on sale up to 23 October [S16]. Each station starts at its own time, such as 08:00 at Beijing West and 13:30 at Shanghai Hongqiao; the station's own notice governs if it differs [S17][S18].\n\nSold out? Join 12306's waitlist (候补, houbu) with several dates and trains [S19]. Trip.com suggests 45–60 minutes at the station for security and the gate, its advice rather than a railway rule [S15]. Travelling around a holiday? Our [Book ahead page](/before-you-go/book-ahead) explains how peak dates sell out.\n\n## How long between cities? {#train-times-our-cities}\n\nOn the fastest direct trains, Shanghai to Hangzhou takes about 45 minutes, Shanghai to Beijing and Beijing to Xi'an about 4 hours each, Xi'an to Chengdu about 3, and Chengdu to Chongqing about 1 [S20]. We checked on 9 October 2026, for trains on 17 and 20 October; timetables change, so check your date [S20].\n\nThe train times at the top of this page cover all six of our cities. Hangzhou and Chongqing each have several stations, so check both ends before you buy [S20][S21].\n\n## Which station, which metro line? {#train-stations-metro}\n\nShanghai Hongqiao has Lines 2, 10 and 17 [S22]. Beijing South has Lines 4 and 14, Beijing West Line 7, and some trains to Xi'an or Chengdu leave from Fengtai, Beijing North or Qinghe instead [S23][S24]. Hangzhou East has two separate metro stops, about 7 minutes apart on foot [S25].\n\nTwo gaps remain. Chengdu East's Lines 2 and 7 come from a 2023 newspaper report, with no metro or city page behind them [S27]. For Hangzhou Railway Station, sources differ: Wikipedia lists Lines 1 and 5, the Hangzhou sources we found only Line 5 [S28][S29]. The station list at the top of this page has the rest, including Chongqing's three main stations [S26].\n\n::: figure id=hongqiao-waiting-hall\n\n## Airport to city {#airports}\n\nSome airports, such as Beijing Capital, have a metro or rail link into town, plus taxi ranks and a separate ride-hail pickup zone [S30]. Beijing Capital has the Airport Express, Daxing the Daxing Airport Express to Caoqiao, Xi'an metro Line 14 and shuttle buses, and Shanghai its metro lines and the Airport Link [S32][S33][S34][S35][S31].\n\nLast trains into town leave between about 22:00 and just after 23:00 [S32][S33][S34]; Beijing Capital's are 22:52 at T3 and 23:10 at T2 [S32]. Times change, so check on the day you fly. Later than that, take a taxi, DiDi or an airport night bus. Each city page, such as [Shanghai](/shanghai) or [Beijing](/beijing), has its own routes, fares and last trains.\n\n::: traveller source=r-biubiuf\n\n::: traveller

Theft and scams are the everyday risks. Save three numbers, keep your passport on you, and say a friendly no to strangers' tea invitations.\n\n## Who do I call in an emergency? {#emergency-numbers}\n\nPolice 110, ambulance 120, fire 119, anywhere in China; the UK government lists the same numbers [S1][S5]. You'll find them at the top of this page, ready to tap.\n\nIn Shanghai, 110 answers in English and seven other languages [S2]. Operators on 120 can bring in an interpreter, which may take a moment [S3]. On 119, give the street and number, or a landmark [S2].\n\nWhoever you call, say where you are and what happened [S2], and have the address in Chinese ready (our suggestion). The language lists come from Shanghai government pages; we haven't tested live calls [S2][S3][S4].\n\n::: figure id=shanghai-police-car\n\n## Is there a helpline in English? {#12345-multilingual}\n\nYes, in Shanghai. Call 12345 for non-emergency help, 24 hours a day, in English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian and more: 18 foreign languages in all [S4]. We've only checked Shanghai's line, not other cities'.\n\nVisa or immigration question? Call 12367 [S6]. English is answered directly; French, Russian, Japanese and Korean go through an interpreter [S6].\n\n## Where can I get help in person? {#official-help}\n\nRight at the airport. One-stop service centres in the arrivals halls of Pudong T1 and T2 and Hongqiao T1 help with payment apps, SIMs, maps and transport cards [S7].\n\nFor service questions later on, email intlservices@shanghai.gov.cn [S7]. And Meet in Shanghai (meet-in-shanghai.net) is the city's official travel site [S8].\n\n## Which hospitals can I go to? {#hospitals}\n\nShanghai's health commission lists 23 public and 26 foreign-funded medical institutions [S9]. Public hospitals include Huashan, Zhongshan, Ruijin and Renji. International options include Parkway, United Family (Pudong and Changning), Jiahui and Raffles [S9].\n\nThat list gives facilities and addresses only. It has no clinic hours, no list of foreign-language clinics and no 24-hour pharmacies, and we haven't found an official source for those yet [S9]. So check each hospital's own page before you go, and in an emergency, call 120.\n\n::: figure id=shanghai-huashan-hospital\n\n## What should I watch out for? {#scams-id}\n\nCarry your original passport: the UK government says police make random checks and don't accept printed copies [S5]. At busy sights, keep an eye on your belongings [S5].\n\nIf a friendly stranger invites you for tea or a massage, turn it down: the bill can be huge [S5]. Read up on QR-code phishing, and steer clear of unmarked taxis and demonstrations [S5].\n\nOn the street, take only marked taxis [S5]. Our [Getting around page](/before-you-go/getting-around) explains how to book DiDi and where Beijing Capital's ride-hail pickups are, and our [Paying page](/before-you-go/payments) covers cash, change and fake 100-yuan notes.\n\nTravellers' reports differ: one found the staffed official rank the safe choice, another was charged 645 yuan from Pudong's official rank. Wherever you board, use only marked, metered taxis and note the taxi's number [S5]; asking for a receipt is our suggestion.\n\n::: traveller source=r-loganrb\n\n::: traveller source=r-amorph\n\n::: traveller source=r-gz-taxi-police\n\n::: traveller source=r-cq-bbq-motorbikes","sources":[{"id":"S1","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, Shanghai government hotlines table","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-Individuals-DailyLife-Publicservicehotlines/20260813/98b41f0e71bb4adf93e3992313a1417c.html","date":"updated 2026-06-02, read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"},{"id":"S2","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, What to do in an emergency","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-EmergencyNumbers/20241210/cbc5280b9f96440a93234bfc5e0c1023.html","date":"read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"},{"id":"S3","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, Emergency medical services in Shanghai","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-Individuals-Healthcare-Emergency/20260805/a2e3934c983d4558a70228832148555f.html","date":"updated 2025-08-21, read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"},{"id":"S4","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, 12345 government service hotline","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en/20231223/7b8359d283634bd99b4e7a2c5a89314c.html","date":"read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"},{"id":"S5","title":"UK FCDO, Foreign travel advice: China (print)","url":"https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/china/print","date":"updated 2026-08-27, read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"},{"id":"S6","title":"National Immigration Administration via english.shanghai.gov.cn, Immigration service hotline 12367","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-Individuals-ImmigrationandVisas-Usefulinfo/20260813/13e6aa77666b40e3a1957a0208c8bf2b.html","date":"updated 2026-08-17, read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"},{"id":"S7","title":"Shanghai Municipal People's Government, From plane to city: One-stop service centers at airports","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-LatestNews/20260319/526f61df226649a58acf4b174d18f8aa.html","date":"published 2026-03-19, read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"},{"id":"S8","title":"Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism, Meet in Shanghai","url":"https://www.meet-in-shanghai.net/","date":"read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"},{"id":"S9","title":"Shanghai Municipal Commission of Health via english.shanghai.gov.cn, Shanghai's medical institutions","url":"https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-Individuals-Healthcare-TreatmentServices/20260805/5559ba9c9e474362b4237f5073c1331b.html","date":"updated 2026-08-13, read 2026-10-06","kind":"official"}],"places":[]}}],"guides":[{"id":"outdated-claims","title":"Common outdated claims about visiting China","seoTitle":"Outdated China travel claims, and what the rules say now","description":"Is transit still 144 hours?

At that point 54 countries were eligible [S2].\n\nOn 20 August 2026 Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam joined, making 57 countries, with 65 ports in 24 provincial-level regions [S3][S1].\n\nThe \"transit\" part still matters: you need an onward ticket with a confirmed seat and date to a third country or region [S1][S3]. And the clock starts at 00:00 on the day after you land [S3].\n\nOur [Visa page](/before-you-go/visa) has the full 57-country transit list and how the 240-hour clock is counted.\n\n::: figure id=pvg-immigration-sign\n\n## Is visa-free entry still 15 days?\n\n::: claim old=\"Visa-free entry is 15 days.\" now=\"30 days, for listed countries.\" detail=\"US passports are not on the list.\" since=\"30 Nov 2024\" sources=S5,S4 title=\"Visa-free stay\"\n\nThe current wave of one-sided visa-free entry began as a trial on 1 December 2023: ordinary passport holders from France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia could stay up to 15 days [S16].\n\nFrom 30 November 2024, stays went from 15 days to 30, and nine more countries, Japan among them, joined, making 38 [S5]. By 17 February 2026 the NIA's list named 50 [S4]. For 48 of them, the policy currently runs to 31 December 2026; Russia's runs to 31 December 2027, and Brunei's has no end date [S6].\n\nNot on it, like the US [S4]?

Today it holds more than 1.5 million items or sets of relics [S17]. If it's on your list, you're in good company. 🏯\n\nThe official rule: the museum does not sell tickets on the day of your visit [S8]. Booking opens at 20:00, 7 days before the date, and foreign visitors book with their passport. One ID gets one ticket per day [S7]. It's closed on Mondays, except public holidays [S8].\n\nOur [Forbidden City page](/places/forbidden-city) has opening hours, prices for each season, and the walk to the Meridian Gate entrance [P:forbidden-city].\n\n**From our own visits**\n\nWe've tried it in person, and as foreigners at the ticket office there is some chance of getting a same-day ticket. But it has never been an official route, and the museum doesn't recognise it. We get it: you've come all this way. If you'd like to try, go for it — but keep your hopes low, know it can fail, and have another plan for the day.\n\nYou'll also see people online offering a ticket that \"gets you in\" on the day. We checked: they take you to the window and have you buy the ticket yourself with your own passport, because only a foreign visitor buying in person stands a chance. Those same-day offers are charging you for what you don't know yet. Take a careful look before you pay anyone.\n\n::: traveller source=r-fc-walkup-jul-b\n\n::: photo place=forbidden-city n=1\n\n## Can foreigners buy Terracotta Army tickets at the gate?\n\n::: claim old=\"Foreigners can walk up and buy.\" now=\"Officially online only.\" detail=\"Real-name booking; the original passport is accepted.

The figures were found in March 1974, and in 1987 the mausoleum and the pits joined UNESCO's World Heritage List [S19]. Its three pits hold over 7,000 life-size warriors and horses [S18].\n\nThe museum's ticketing notice, dated 21 April 2023, says every visitor, foreigners included, books online under their real name, on the museum's website or the WeChat accounts 秦始皇帝陵博物院 or 兵马俑票务在线. You show your original passport at the gate, and an adult ticket is ¥120 [S9]. The notice does not mention on-site machines or a Chinese phone number [S9].\n\nSome travellers report buying at the office anyway, so treat that as a fallback, not a plan [P:terracotta-army].\n\nOur [Terracotta Army page](/places/terracotta-army) has the metro-and-bus route from Xi'an and check-in times by season.\n\n::: figure id=terracotta-army-pit-1\n\n## Do I still have to reserve for the Shanghai Museum?\n\n::: claim old=\"Shanghai Museum needs no reservation (from 1 Sept 2025).\" now=\"Depends on the building.\" detail=\"East: no reservation for individual visitors.

Individual visitors may book ahead on the museum's WeChat mini program, or on trip.com from overseas, and the on-site office sells only what is left [S10][P:shanghai-museum-peoples-square].\n\nShanghai Museum East needs no reservation for individual visitors, but its Curio-City and Digital Gallery still do [S11]. People's Square closes on Mondays, East on Tuesdays, except national holidays [P:shanghai-museum-peoples-square][P:shanghai-museum-east].\n\nOur [Shanghai Museum East page](/places/shanghai-museum-east) has the metro exit, what to see first, and the rooms you book separately.\n\n::: photo place=shanghai-museum-east n=3\n\n## Do I need a Chinese bank account for Alipay or WeChat Pay?\n\n::: claim old=\"You need a Chinese bank account.\" now=\"No. Link a foreign card.\" detail=\"Alipay also accepts an overseas phone number.\" sources=S13,S14 title=\"Paying\"\n\nThe apps feel very local, so it's easy to assume. But visitors can link an eligible card issued outside the Chinese mainland to Alipay or WeChat Pay without opening a Chinese bank account [S13]. You can also register Alipay with an overseas number before you arrive [S14].\n\nPayments of ¥200 or less are generally fee-free; above that, a 3% fee may apply [S13]. Beijing reports a similar waiver for WeChat Pay under ¥200 [S15].

Day one is the [Bund](/places/the-bund), Nanjing Road and Yuyuan Garden, which is closed Mondays [P:the-bund][P:nanjing-road-pedestrian-street][P:yuyuan-garden]. Day two is a lane district such as Xintiandi and Tianzifang, then Top of Shanghai about 45 minutes before sunset [P:xintiandi][P:tianzifang][P:top-of-shanghai-observatory]. Day three is a museum: Shanghai Museum East, closed Tuesdays, where general entry is free, or the People's Square building, closed Mondays and showing until 14 November 2027 a single ticketed exhibition, The World Tree: Ancient Civilizations of the Americas (¥148 adult) [P:shanghai-museum-east][P:shanghai-museum-peoples-square]. Two days works without the museum.

Day one is Tiananmen Square, the Palace Museum (3 to 5 hours; tickets open 20:00 seven days ahead) and Jingshan Park. Tiananmen Square needs its own free reservation, 1 to 7 days ahead, with no same-day booking [P:tiananmen-square]; day two is Mutianyu, a full day, with tickets up to 30 days ahead [P:tiananmen-square][P:forbidden-city][P:jingshan-park][P:mutianyu-great-wall]. After that, pick lakes and hutongs, the Summer Palace, or the Temple of Heaven with Qianmen Street [P:summer-palace][P:temple-of-heaven][P:qianmen-street].

Spend day one on the Terracotta Army (3 to 4 hours, timed online ticket) and the City Wall and Muslim Quarter in the evening; day two on the Shaanxi History Museum in a booked morning slot, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and Ever-bright City after dark [P:terracotta-army][P:xian-city-wall][P:muslim-quarter][P:shaanxi-history-museum][P:giant-wild-goose-pagoda][P:grand-tang-dynasty-ever-bright-city].

The Terracotta trip is about 105 minutes from the Bell Tower on the site's editorial allowance, while seat61 says 40 to 45 minutes by bus from the main station; the starting points differ, so we have not reconciled them [S16].

Jinsha is closed until 30 April 2027 [P:jinsha-site-museum].

One day is the west side: Ciqikou on a weekday morning, Liziba Monorail Station and Eling No. 2 Factory. The other is the peninsula: the cableway after its 08:00 opening, Shancheng Alley, the Raffles City deck before sunset and Hongyadong at dusk [P:ciqikou][P:liziba-station][P:eling-erchang][P:yangtze-river-cableway][P:shancheng-alley][P:raffles-city-chongqing-sky-bridge][P:hongyadong]. None of our 10 places needs advance booking. The cableway sells on the day and, per a local news site, up to two days ahead, and it closes about one weekday a month for maintenance [P:yangtze-river-cableway]. The museum is closed Mondays and entry stops at 16:00 [P:three-gorges-museum]. Pack for rain: October averages 11.5 rain days [S26]. WaysChina also says two full days [S32].\n\n::: photo place=hongyadong n=2\n\n## How many days in Hangzhou?\n\nTwo full days cover West Lake and the Lingyin and tea hills; a third adds Xixi and the Grand Canal [S36][S8]. One day is the lake: Yue Fei Temple, the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, Leifeng Pagoda and Hefang Street; the other is Lingyin Temple in an early booked slot, Longjing Tea Village and the China National Tea Museum [P:yue-fei-temple][P:zhejiang-provincial-museum][P:leifeng-pagoda][P:hefang-street][P:lingyin-temple][P:longjing-tea-village][P:china-national-tea-museum]. Lingyin slots are free and open 7 days ahead at 08:00, with no same-day booking; passport holders book the museum online first, and it is closed Mondays, while the Tea Museum is closed Tuesdays [P:lingyin-temple][P:zhejiang-provincial-museum][P:china-national-tea-museum]. Leifeng Pagoda's online tickets need a Chinese ID, so passport holders buy at the ticket office, according to a local guide first published in 2020 and one January 2026 visitor; the operator does not say [P:leifeng-pagoda]. Hangzhou East is about 45 minutes from Shanghai Hongqiao, so one day is possible [S13].
