China Packing
Checklist

Passport, visa or visa-free documents, flight and hotel confirmations, travel insurance, copies of key documents and any required permits.

Good walking shoes matter more than formal clothes. Many heritage sites and old towns involve steps, uneven paving or long courtyards.

Bring breathable layers for spring and autumn, sun protection for summer, and warmer layers for northern China, Tibet, Yunnan mountains or winter travel.

Power bank, universal adapter, medication, basic toiletries, a small day bag and a refillable bottle are useful for long touring days.
