9:00 Your Questions about China…
중국중국 여행양수오구이린광시travel vlogchina travel vlogoverland travelvietnam borderchina vietnam border crossingtravel q ahigh speed trainbudget travel chinasolo travel chinachina visaDid you feel safe in China?
Yes, I think China is one of the safest places I've been. There are security cameras everywhere, and people generally keep to themselves.
What was your favorite food in China?
Dumplings! They were so good, and I really enjoyed the thicker noodles in the noodle soups.
Do you think Zhangjiajie (Avatar National Park) was overrated?
I don't think so. We had a special experience because we stayed in the National Park and avoided the crowds. But if you stick to the main tourist areas, it will be very busy.
Did you come across many solo travelers?
Not really, in the places we stayed. Most foreigners we met were traveling in couples or groups.
What is the visa process like for China?
It's not easy. There are some countries that allow visa-free travel for 14 days, and there's a 144-hour visa for some cities. We got a 2-year multi-entry visa, but that required going to a Chinese visa application center in our home country.
Is it expensive to travel China?
It depends on where you go. Cities like Shanghai and Beijing are more expensive, but places like Yangshuo are much cheaper. High-speed trains and national park tickets can add up, but food is generally affordable.
Would you recommend having cash in China?
Yes, definitely. While most places use WeChat Pay and Alipay, having cash as a backup is important, especially as a foreigner, in case your phone dies or digital payments fail.
