This is a real little rural courtyard on the outskirts of Chongqing, my hometown,out in western China. My parents still live there, and we go back to visit once in a while. in most rural areas, it’s mostly just some elderly people still living there. Young people have moved to the city or gone off to work in the city. The greenery and environment are really nice, and life is pretty laid-back, welcome to visit if you are really interested in the real rural life of western China.

I visited China last year and used LetsVPN with great success. I see now that it no longer works in China, so I’m wondering what people are using nowadays

Hii me and my friend have been traveling china for almost a month and we are in dire need of jojoba oil!! Alternatively coconut or argon oil. We are currently in Kunming and have checked out Muji, watsons and a few well selected supermarkets, without any luck.

Any ideas on where we can look?? Thanks for any help🥲// two girls in need of oil

I'm going to China in about 3 weeks and will be flying into Beijing but then traveling around the country and leaving from Shanghai. The problem is that I have a drone that I am traveling with. I'm aware of the drone ban in Beijing and it's not leaving me with a lot of options. So far here are my options (and their problems):

- declare it at customs, have them help me ship it to a city outside of Beijing (BUT this is not guaranteed and a bit of a risk)

- ship the drone from my current location to a city outside of Beijing (unsure if I can ship it with the batteries and if it will clear Chinese customs)

- Ship the drone body to a city outside of Beijing, but carry the batteries (it is unclear whether I can even enter Beijing with the drone batteries)

- Ship the drone to my next country, Philippines (Again, unsure if can ship it with batteries or if customs will accept it but I also don't have an accommodation book there yet)

If anyone has any advice or has dealt with this please help... also I will note I'm a full time traveler so I can't really leave it where I am and I can't send it home either.

Hi everyone :)

I am currently in Beijing and wanted to get a new tattoo here!

Does anyone recommend a tattoo artist that speaks English and is in the central area (or inside the second ring) of Beijing?

Thanks a lot!

I will be traveling to China in a few months and looking to book hotel and flights within Alipay as that seems more convenient.

Have anybody had any experience using Alipay’s in app service to book hotels and flights? Is it reliable?

Looking for any advice and experiences related to this. Thank you.

Im travelling to china and i need someone to verify my wechat for me. Can someoen scan this qr🫩🙏

黄山北站是火车站，而不是登山步道的起点。如果您打算通过南门参观，请做好两段路程的准备。

首先，从黄山北站前往汤口的南门换乘中心。然后乘坐景区摆渡车前往您选择的登山线路。在上车前确认您是否需要云谷索道、玉屏索道或步行入口。

检查您预订的每一部分：从车站到的交通、景区摆渡车、山地门票以及任何索道乘坐。一个票或套餐可能只包含部分项目。

如果是日间旅行，规划好返程连接也很重要。您的列车何时到达，您是当晚返回吗？

Hello, I’m in Dongguan for the next few months with a newborn. I’ve been searching around for an affordable baby stroller and I’m not having any luck. If yall could recommend me a store or if you have any good recommendations that I could find on Tab Bao that would me out a lot.

I am visiting China and these are the two major cities I will be spending time in. I hope to get a small chrysanthemum tattoo (2-3”) similar to the red chrysanthemum on the left. I grow chrysanthemums professionally and have focused on the heirloom style in recent years so I thought it would be fun to get one somewhere this growing style was popularized.

I don’t speak the local language so Guangzhou seems like it may have more English speakers? However Quingdao is close to Korea and the majority of my current tattoos are done by a South Korean artist in the states and in the “Korean fine line” style. I’ve gotten a couple other tattoos in foreign countries where I don’t speak the language and the experience was always super positive. However I’d love some advice in making this choice.

Thanks!

Will be traveling to Chengdu in the beginning of November. I have not had any luck reaching out to local photographers on rednote. Wondering if anyone has any photographer contacts in the area, looking for someone to capture photos of my engagement proposal. Thanks in advance!

湖边散步和去小瀛洲（小瀛洲，三潭印月）坐船是不同的计划。如果岛是你的目标，别买那种普通的“西湖游船”，期望有停靠岛屿的安排。

要找上岛游，并确认岛屿入场费和返回船票是否包含在内。环湖游是另一种产品；要查看它的停靠点。

租划船又是另外一回事：岛屿入场费可能额外收费，而在你游览期间的等待时间也可能计算在租用时间内。

在付款前，询问你可以返回的岸边码头。上岛前查看最后一班返回的时间。

Will be arriving in Beijing next month and wondering what the best way to get from the airport to our hotel would be? We will have 2x large suitcases and 2x carry on luggage cases. Would we be able to just book a Didi and if so would anyone mind sharing what that process is like? (Unsure if it’s the same as ordering an uber here).

I'm looking for a local guide to work with in Aksu, Xinjiang in the next few months.

I'm a photographer and looking to travel and photograph around the Stone Forest area, as well as many other spots around Aksu and west, along the way to Kashgar. Also south, into the sand dunes as well.

Most of my photography revolves around places that aren't photographed yet, and I'm wondering if it's possible to off road drive or hike several kilometers to get to some viewpoints in the mountains.

I'm also planning to use drones, which I'm aware are closely monitored in the region. I'm hoping to get some information on bringing this into china and any protocol for operating a drone.

This could potentially lead to me bringing more people over the following year.

im travelling from sydney to china and i want to bring my disposable.
these are the china import laws: Up to 2 vape units, 6 vape pods (including disposables), and 12ml or less of total liquid.
all of my disposables exceed the 12ml limit (18ml), if im bringing just the one, will it be confiscated?

(im travelling with someone who i would rather not know i have a vape, will they pull it out and whatnot?)

- and also it is fruity flavoured but it should be fine since i am not purchasing it in china right?)
