FirstTripChina is a practical online resource for first-time international travelers to China. We cover the four essentials before departure: 30-day visa-free entry options for many passports, how to set up mobile payments (Alipay & WeChat Pay) as a foreign visitor, must-have travel apps, and how to navigate the high-speed rail and city transport. We also include destination guides for Shanghai, Beijing and Xi'an. All content is free and aimed at English-speaking visitors who have never been to China before.
