Traveling to another place especially to another country is quite a challenge for those first time travelers. I had experienced missing a train because of misunderstanding, arriving at a wrong destination because of misunderstanding, lost in Beijing because of wrong instruction and many other not so good experiences that would have been prevented if I prepared the trip well. I am going to share some travel tips that would help especially if your destination is China.
- Get a CTRIP account. It is a website that handles booking for both plane ticket and hotel. Ctrip helps you find the right hotel that is close to where you want to go or visit. I have been using CTRIP on booking hotels for almost 6 years now and I am very satisfied with the service.
- Buy a Lonely Planet Book - If you are a traveler your probably know how important this book is. There are information about the places to stay, places to visit and when to visit them, and the kind of transportation available.
- Mobile Apps. Chinese to English and English to Chinese Dictionary, maps. Android, Symbian and iOS have descent applications. This comes very handy if you want to know your way around and communicate to the local people.
I am sure these 3 simple things would surely help you on your trip to China.
