HSK 4~6 | 🇨🇳中国旅游全攻略 | China Travel Guide for Foreigners | Practical Mandarin Chinese Podcast

Описание: 👋 In this episode, Li Laoshi and Mike walk you through everything a first-time foreign visitor needs to know: from visa-free entry and the 240-hour transit loophole, to getting a SIM card, paying with Alipay, riding the 高铁, and surviving a restaurant without speaking a word of Chinese.

💡 What we cover in this episode:
Visa-Free Entry (免签): Which 50 countries can enter China visa-free for 30 days — you might already qualify.
The 240-Hour Loophole: How the transit visa-free policy (过境免签) lets travelers from 55 countries — including the US — stay up to 10 days.
The Entry Card (入境卡): Why you should fill this out on your phone before you land, not on the plane.
Payment Survival Guide: Why cash is fading fast, and how to link your foreign bank card to Alipay or WeChat before departure.
Accommodation Registration (住宿登记): The 24-hour rule at the派出所 that most tourists don't know about.
Getting Around: High-speed rail (高铁), metro QR codes, and Didi — the full transport toolkit.
Internet Restrictions: What won't work in China and which local apps to download before you fly.
