Cheapest Month to Travel
Good to Know
Visa
UK citizens must obtain a visa before travelling to China. The standard tourist visa (L type) allows stays of up to 30 days. Applications must be made through the Chinese Visa Application Centre, and biometric data is required. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months. Overstaying a visa can lead to fines or detention, so ensure your visa duration matches your itinerary.
Vaccinations
No mandatory vaccinations are required to enter China. However, UK health authorities recommend being up to date on MMR, DTP, and COVID-19. For some travellers, especially those visiting rural areas, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Rabies may be advised. For full medical guidance, consult TravelHealthPro’s China country page.
Currency
The official currency of Beijing and the rest of China is the Chinese Yuan (CNY), also known as Renminbi (RMB). Currency can be exchanged at airports, banks, and licensed money changers. Card payments are accepted in most hotels and major establishments, though mobile payment apps like Alipay and WeChat Pay dominate everyday transactions.
