China travel itinerary — the Great Wall, bullet trains and the digital setup you need before landing
VPN before landing. Visa sorted. Alipay configured. Bullet trains booked. Alejandro's personalised China trip handles the complexity so you enjoy the journey.
Alejandro's China — the preparation that makes everything else possible
China left me speechless. Not because of the Great Wall (which is impressive), but because of the absolute contrast: the world's most technological city with 2,000-year-old markets 10 minutes away. Shanghai felt like the future. Xi'an took me to the Silk Road. Beijing made me feel small. A personalised China trip reveals contrasts no other destination can match.
China has real complexities: visa (€90-120), VPN China setup before landing, Alipay and WeChat Pay configuration, high-speed trains (Beijing to Shanghai in 4.5h) and the language barrier. Alejandro's China travel itinerary gives you every tool so none of these are a problem.
China is perfect for...
What to see and do in China
The world's most complex country, simplified for you.
Beijing — Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall
The Forbidden City, the Great Wall of China (Mutianyu section — not overcrowded Badaling), Temple of Heaven and the Hutong neighbourhood. Alejandro's Beijing itinerary tells you which Wall section to visit.
Xi'an — the Terracotta Warriors and the ancient Silk Road city
The 8,000 terracotta warriors of Emperor Qin. One of history's most impressive archaeological discoveries. And the walled city by bicycle. Beijing to Xi'an takes just 3.5 hours by bullet train.
Shanghai — the most futuristic skyline in the world
The Bund at night, Pudong skyline, the French Concession, Yuyuan markets. Shanghai travel guide highlight: this city alone justifies a China travel itinerary.
Guilin & Li River — the landscape of Chinese ink paintings
The karst landscapes of Guilin and a Li River cruise. One of the most beautiful landscapes in Asia — the scenery that inspired a thousand Chinese paintings.
Zhangjiajie — the floating mountains that inspired Avatar
The stone pillars of Zhangjiajie that inspired Avatar's floating mountains. An otherworldly experience in your China travel itinerary.
Chengdu — giant pandas and the birthplace of Sichuan cuisine
Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base and authentic Sichuan cuisine — the hot pot that changes your life. A must-add to any personalised China trip of 18+ days.
China travel planning essentials
China visa guide — requirements, cost and how to apply
China requires a visa (~€90-120, 4-7 day process). Some nationalities qualify for visa-free transit (72-144 hours). Alejandro clarifies your China visa requirement during the planning call.
VPN setup — before you land
Google, WhatsApp and Instagram are blocked. VPN China setup must happen BEFORE landing — you cannot download VPN apps inside China. Alejandro includes a complete digital setup guide.
Best time to visit China
March-May and September-November: perfect temperature. Avoid Chinese New Year (Jan-Feb) and October Golden Week — soaring prices and overcrowding.
Getting around China — the high-speed rail guide
The world's most extensive network. Beijing to Shanghai in 4.5 hours at 350km/h. Beijing to Xi'an in 3.5h. Alejandro's China trip planner designs your entire rail route.
