While organizing the expedition to China

  • To our mind, the transportation is expensive in China.
  • To use the wireless connection, you should have a permit from the Chinese side (it must be paid for 3 months before the expedition).
  • It is nice to have an interpreter while buying things. People charge a foreigner at least 3 times the average price. It is OK to bargain even at the store.
  • Mind the time zones. Officially, China lives by Peking time.
