Is travel insurance compulsory?

We highly recommend obtaining comprehensive travel insurance. Once you have comprehensive insurance coverage, you don't need to worry about emergencies that can happen anytime, anywhere, before or during your travels. Insurance can cover the cost of your airfare, as well as your tour(s) in the case of unforeseen cancellation. It ensures that you do not have to worry about any unplanned changes to your travel plans, such as having to rush home to an ill family member or having a tour changed or cancelled because of a natural disaster. It can even help with smaller things - like lost luggage or stolen cameras etc.

Do locals pay with phone apps for almost everything in China and if so would tourists be able to use them?

Locals generally use Wechat and Alipay to pay almost everything. If you want to use them, you need to download Wechat App or Alipay App, then set up an account bound with your payment details.

The tour was very well organized and the tour guides (Kevin in Beijing and Lily in Xian) were great. It was certainly very nice it was only the two of us with the guides, so everything could be on our pace. The sights we visited were partly very crowded, but with the small group and the great help of the guides, we were flexible and could enjoy everything very much. We also profited a lot from the great knowledge of Kevin and Lily, who are extremely knowledgeable and gave us very good explanations and answers to our questions.Show more
