🧧 Introduction

China is one of the world's largest and most populous countries but has only recently begun to emerge as an international tourist destination. This means that planning a trip here can still seem difficult, and some may give up when faced with the substantial preparation needed.

This guide serves exactly this purpose: it is where I collected every useful piece of information I learned during my time in China, and includes several tips I could acquire from the experience of traveling with locals 24/7. 

Here you'll literally find everything you need to plan your China trip, so you won't have to think about anything but choosing your destinations (and here will be some suggestions for that as well!)!

It's going to be a loooong guide, so let's start!
