China Tours – Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best time to visit China?
Weather-wise and in general, the best time would be spring (March, April, May) and autumn (September, October, November). Anyone travelling to China in July and August should be prepared for high heat and humidity; however, in some parts of China, such as Tibet, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, summer is the most pleasant season.
What are the public holidays to avoid?
The most important public holiday in China is the Lunar New Year commonly known as Spring Festival. It’s the Chinese equivalent of Christmas holiday in the West. This is a time when every Chinese seems to be on the move. Airports and train stations are packed while tour guides, drivers and hotel employees all prefer to be home with their loved ones. This holiday is based on Chinese lunar calendar and can fall in January or February on Gregorian calendar. This holiday generally lasts for two weeks.
Should I get Chinese currency before arrival?
Buying Chinese currency outside China is not recommended. The best exchange rate is always found in China. Obtaining Chinese money through a local bank at the airport on arrival is advised. Or, you can use a bank card (credit card works also but the associated cost is much higher) issued in your own country to withdraw local cash from ATM terminals on arrival. As far as exchange rate goes, the best choice is a local bank. Automated teller machines come second. Stay away from independent currency dealers if possible.
What vaccination or inoculation certificates should I bring?
At the moment, we are not aware of any such requirements. That said, we strongly recommend that you keep your hepatitis vaccination updated. You may also want to check out the website(s) maintained by your national health authorities or speak to your family physician for more advice.
How do I apply for my China visa?
Guests taking our China tours can count on us for assistance with their China visa application. The cost varies depending on your nationality. Please visit https://laurustravel.com/general-information/visa/ for details.

Reviews on Laurus Travel China Tours
You can find many consumer reviews on Laurus Travel and our China tours on the Internet including on TripAdvisor. One thing you should keep in mind, though, when searching for consumer reviews on Laurus Travel is that the majority of our guests are seniors who are less active in the domain of social media. On this front, we are at a disadvantage compared with our peers peddling cheaper tours to a younger audience.
