About FeelingChina — Independent Visitor Guide

Who we are, our sources, and why this unofficial guide helps first-time visitors avoid the usual China travel confusion — visas, payments, maps, and etiquette.

What this site is

FeelingChina is an independent, unofficial guide written for foreign visitors to mainland China. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government, embassy, or official body.

Our goal

Help first-time international visitors avoid the most common confusion — visas, mobile payments, maps that don't load, and cultural slip-ups — with clear, plain-English steps.

Sources & accuracy

We base factual claims on official sources where possible, including the National Immigration Administration (nia.gov.cn) and the official SinoGuide information service. Visa policies, app availability, and prices change frequently.

⚠️

Information may be out of date. Always confirm critical details (especially visas and entry rules) with the official source or your nearest Chinese embassy/consulate before you book or travel. Use this site as a friendly starting point, not legal advice.
