Avoid the Rush Hour
?
In China's big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the
traffic is bad during rush hours due to the mass movement of large
populations, so tourists are advised to avoid the peak hours
between 7-8 AM and 5-6 PM. This will make for an easier and more
pleasant journey.???
Power Supply
?
China uses 220 volt power supply for standard domestic and business
purposes. Hotels generally provide wall sockets in every bathroom
for razors and hair dryers, accommodating both "straight two-pin
plugs," and "triangular 3-pins plugs."?
Water?
?
In China, tap water is considered quite hard and needs to be boiled
before drinking. Therefore, Tap water at all hotels in China is not
drinkable. Inquire with hotel staff members when you check in. If
you are unsure it is recommended you drink bottled water only or
cool boiled water offered by hotels.??
