The services I recommend
What I use or recommend to prepare a trip to China without bad surprises. Tested, filtered, no fluff.
eSIM for China
Get internet the moment you land, without hunting for a local SIM card. The first thing to sort on arrival.
ViewTravel insurance
Often required for the visa, and genuinely useful if anything medical happens far from home.
ViewAirport transfer
A driver waiting for you on arrival, when you do not speak a word of Chinese yet.
