Tips on the Luggage Needed for Traveling to China

With the rapid development of society and economy, more and more people want to travel to China in their free time to enjoy its beautiful scenery, rich culture and exquisite cuisine. However, the most important and annoying thing is to prepare your luggage, such as clothes, electronics and daily necessities. We now provide you with some tips to ensure you have an enjoyable trip.

Suitcase & Backpack

Typically, you will need a suitcase and a backpack. If you visit China in winter, you may need another larger backpack to ensure you carry enough thick clothes. Reducing the amount of luggage will make your trip easier, so it is very important to know which items are most important.

First of all, make sure you are wearing the right clothing, such as underwear, socks, and appropriate clothing. Appropriate clothing will depend on the season of your trip. In the north, from November to March, you will need down coats, gloves, sweaters, thick socks, thermal pants, sturdy shoes, and lip balm. Even in the south, such as Hong Kong, you will still need warm clothing during this same time. During the summer, in almost all parts of the country, it will be enough to wear loose shirts or T-shirts and light pants, and you can even wear shorts. If you have access to laundry facilities, you can reduce the amount of clothing you carry with you. In addition, it is very important to bring a pair of comfortable shoes, or two pairs if possible.

Next, any electronics you want to carry should be fully charged before you go and carry a portable battery with enough charge in case your phone runs out. Personal hygiene items such as a toothbrush and toothpaste are also essential, for they are no longer provided by some hotels. You can buy travel-size shampoo and body wash at the supermarket, which are small and lightweight, and most hotels provide them.

Next, organize some small accessories: a bottle of water, tissues, a wrist watch, an umbrella, a cap and some common medications such as bandages, cold medicines, anti-diarrheals and digestive medicines.

Don't forget to bring your passport (with valid visa), boarding pass, credit card, invitation letter, contact information, power adapter and local currency. Of course, for security, it is best to make backup copies of important documents.
