      Kim

      Traveler•Written May 2025

      What is the weather / temperature like in November? Will we need winter clothes, boots etc.? Also I was told not to take medications to China. Is this correct? Do we need a converter for electricity for curling iron and so on?

    • Top China TravelOperator•Written May 2025

      The temperature in northern China like Beijing is a bit cold, it is recommended that you take some winter clothes. If you need to take medicines, you need the evidence from the doctor to prove that your medicine is for self-using. Generally speaking, converter is needed in China.

      Traveler•Written March 2025

      The link is not attached. The visa application requires a Letter of Invitation, do you provide this? If I join the tour in May 2025, is there enough time to release the visa and join?

    • Top China TravelOperator•Written April 2025

      Normally it take one week working days to release the visa. Once you book this tour, I will send you a confirmation letter. Normally our client offer the confirmation letter to apply for China visa. And according to my experience, it is quite easy to get the China visa for Canadian travelers.
