Essential Travel Tips
Learn a few basic Mandarin phrases (hello, thank you, excuse me, spicy, no spicy) – it will greatly enhance your interactions with locals.
Cash is useful for smaller vendors, but mobile payment apps like WeChat Pay and Alipay are widely accepted in China. Consider setting them up beforehand.
Be prepared for spicy food! Sichuan cuisine is famous for its bold flavors, but you can often request a milder version.
Dress respectfully when visiting temples and historical sites. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring.
Public transportation like buses and taxis are available, but ride-hailing apps are also convenient. For longer distances, consider hiring a private car or using intercity buses/trains.
