Essential Travel Tips
Learn a few basic Mandarin phrases like 'Ni hao' (hello), 'Xie xie' (thank you), and 'Duoshao qian?' (how much?).
Carry small denominations of Chinese Yuan (CNY) for street vendors and smaller shops, though mobile payments (WeChat Pay/Alipay) are widely used.
Wear comfortable shoes, especially for walking and the Mount Hua excursion. Layered clothing is advisable due to temperature changes.
Be open to trying new foods and street snacks; some of the best culinary experiences are found off the beaten path.
