Come and see China now!<\/h2>\n

Traveling around China can be a very rewarding experience, but it comes with its share of challenges.<\/p>\n

With the right expectations and a little preparation (such as reading our China travel tips), a visit to China can be an incredible experience.<\/p>\n

Many people travel here on a tour, eliminating the challenges of organizing itineraries, transport, hotels and meals.<\/p>\n

As we discovered, it is certainly possible to travel independently in China.<\/p>\n

We avoid walks whenever possible.<\/p>\n

Traveling in a large group of people, jumping from milestone to milestone, with everything arranged, seems like torture to us.<\/p>\n

We prefer to go out on our own, to find our own way.<\/p>\n

Of course, we make mistakes and sometimes get lost, but independent travel is the best way to immerse yourself in the culture.<\/p>\n

Traveling on our own, we were able to interact with the local people.<\/p>\n

Instead of traveling in the \"safety\" of a large travel group with a guide.<\/p>\n

Culture in China<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

The people in China are some of the friendliest we've met and the history and sights here are world-class.<\/p>\n

For those thinking of traveling independently to China<\/p>\n

Here are some travel tips to help make your visit a little easier.<\/p>\n

Many of them we discovered for ourselves during the trip.<\/p>\n

The Great Firewall of China blocks all access to Facebook, Google, Twitter and YouTube.<\/p>\n

There were periods when I was blocked even on this Earth Trekkers site.<\/p>\n

It can be incredibly frustrating, especially during long-term trips<\/p>\n

Internet blocked<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Losing access to websites used to keep in touch with people at home.<\/p>\n

One way around this is to buy a VPN or virtual private network.<\/p>\n

A VPN disguises your computer's IP address so that it looks like you're connected from the US or Australia, even if you're in China.<\/p>\n

We used VyprVPN for the month we were in China, paying a small monthly fee (around US $ 10) for the service.<\/p>\n

It worked reasonably well, but it wasn't perfect.<\/p>\n

While in Shanghai, I was totally unable to access this site, although I could still access Facebook.<\/p>\n

Still, it was worth having this service.<\/p>\n

Without him, I would have spent a month in China with no access to the outside world.<\/p>\n

Knowing Mandarin is not a necessity, but it helps A LOT.<\/p>\n

If you only plan to visit the bigger cities like Beijing and Shanghai, you can use English.<\/p>\n

The younger generations can speak basic English and many are eager to help when needed, from our experience.<\/p>\n

If you plan to visit the smaller towns off the main tourist trail, such as Zhangjiajie and Yangshuo, speaking basic Mandarin is invaluable.<\/p>\n

We would have had a very difficult time here if we hadn't been able to speak the basics.<\/p>\n

Also, a simple ni hao (hello) or xie xie (thank you) is much appreciated.<\/p>\n

Speaking in complete sentences and attempting simple conversation has made us many friends in China.<\/p>\n

Complicated Language<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

This is a country where people really appreciated our efforts to speak their language and those moments are some of our favorite memories of China.<\/p>\n

There are many language learning applications and computer programs to choose from.<\/p>\n

Tyler and I use Fluenz to learn basic Mandarin.<\/p>\n

We started the program a year before our trip to China.<\/p>\n

I've also used Fluenz to learn Spanish, French and a little German.<\/p>\n

It also helps to have a Chinese translation app on your phone.<\/p>\n

We use it to communicate a lot too.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
