Cheapest Month to Travel
Good to Know
Visa
UK passport holders require a visa to enter China. A tourist visa (L type) must be obtained in advance from the Chinese Visa Application Centre. An invitation letter or proof of hotel booking may be required. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned stay.
Vaccinations
No mandatory vaccinations are required for entry from the UK. However, it is recommended to be up-to-date on routine immunisations such as MMR, DTP, and COVID-19. Depending on travel plans, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid, Japanese Encephalitis, and Rabies vaccinations may also be recommended.
Currency
Guangzhou, like the rest of China, uses the Chinese Yuan (Renminbi) (CNY). Currency exchange services are available at airports, banks, and official money changers. Credit and debit cards are accepted in major establishments, though WeChat Pay and Alipay are the most common digital payment methods for locals and increasingly for tourists. Carrying some cash is advisable for smaller businesses and markets.
