Recently, "#chinatravel" suddenly became popular on the Internet. A video titled "China is too beautiful to be real" received 2.5 million likes and 43 million views in just 16 seconds. Foreign netizens were like and collect it crazily, while praying that they would get rich soon and come to China to travel. Hahaha, it turns out that netizens all over the world are the same.

In China, from paying through Alipay and WeChat to calling a taxi and ordering takeout through apps, digital convenience is the core of daily life, so the first thing before coming to China is: how do foreigners get online?

✨ International roaming:
Choosing international roaming when traveling in China allows you to keep your personal phone number. However, this convenience often comes at a high price. Before taking off, be cautious about the roaming charges that may be incurred in China, and also ask if there is a partnership with China Telecom's network, which may provide more favorable prices.

✨ eSIM:
ESIM cards are generally a more economical option, with competitive prices for calls, texts, and data, especially compared to the usually high fees associated with international roaming. The 15 GB data package of eSIM only costs $21 (about 150 yuan). No physical SIM card or magic is required, which is particularly convenient for travelers and can even be activated before arriving in China. The disadvantage is that there is no phone number, so you can't make calls or receive text messages.

✨✨ Travel SIM card:
After arriving in China, you can buy a SIM card with a valuable local Chinese number at the airport with your passport, and you can directly receive text messages and make calls! Booking an App account, calling a taxi, takeout, booking a hotel, buying tickets, etc. often require the use of text messages and phone calls, which will greatly help foreign tourists travel in China. The price is also very advantageous compared to international roaming and eSIM cards. For example, China Mobile's package, 20GB data package + 80 minutes of calls, only costs 150RMB (about 21$). I recommend a SIM card purchase point that is most suitable for tourists at Shanghai Airport. On the right side of the Cheerway Easy Go convenience store at the arrival area of ​​Pudong Airport, there is a SIM card store that sells Chinese SIM cards for overseas tourists.
(⭐️Next time, I will publish a detailed guide on buying SIM cards at Shanghai Pudong Airport in 2024. Remember to follow me. If you need a guide on buying eSIM, you can also DM me~)

These popular Chinese attractions are like windows that allow foreigners to see the real and vivid China:
There are rural mountains and fields⛰, pastoral idylls☘, as well as high-rise buildings🏙, modern prosperity🌟. We inherit the past and actively embrace the future!
Welcome to China! Have a pleasant trip to China!

I've tried it for you, and this is the most time-saving and labor-saving way to stroll in the Summer Palace. | chinatravel note

It turns out that the North Ruyi Gate has the least people, the most flat roads, and is closest to the painting. Most importantly, the number of steps after walking this route is only about 11,000, and it takes more than 3 hours. If you don't want to climb the slope or squeeze in the crowd, Beiruyi Gate is undoubtedly the best choice as the entrance👍 ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-06-11/image_1749613208183.png) Route: Beiruyi Gate👉 Banbi Bridge👉 Suyunyan City Gate👉 Painting Tour👉 Mountain and Lake Light on the Same Floor👉 Paiyun Gate/Yunhui Yuyu Archway👉 Yaoyue Gate👉 Leshou Hall👉 Dehe Hall (passing by)👉 Xiqu Garden👉 Ziqi Donglai City Gate👉 Renshou Hall👉 Zhichun Pavilion👉 Wenchang Pavilion👉 Seventeen-Arch Bridge/Nanhu Island👉 New Palace Gate ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-06-11/image_1749613275515.png) Tips: 1. The opening hours of the Summer Palace are 6:30-18:00 in the off-season, but it should be noted that the Painting Tour and other fee-charging courtyards are closed at 17:00. ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-06-11/image_1749613316740.png) Peak season (April 1st - October 31st): 6:00 am - 7:00 pm, the painting tour and fee-paying courtyards are open from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. 2. The entrance ticket is 20 yuan per person, and the combined ticket is 50 yuan per person. The Summer Palace is very large and you can't visit it all in one day. It is recommended to buy only the entrance ticket. Other fee-paying courtyards can be entered on site. (Note: The entrance ticket is 30 yuan per person in the peak season, and the combined ticket is 60 yuan per person) 3. There are 6 gates in the Summer Palace. As mentioned earlier, entering from the North Ruyi Gate is the best choice. Let's talk about the entrances and exits of other gates: ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-06-11/image_1749613338359.png) 3a. Beigong Gate is closest to Exit C of the subway station, but there are more people queuing here during peak season and weekends, and if you go the wrong way from this gate, you have to climb up and down all kinds of hills and ridges. If you have difficulty walking, choose carefully... (The advantage is that this gate is closest to Suzhou Street and the Four Continents) ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-06-11/image_1749613352871.png) 3b. Donggong Gate is closest to Xiyuan Station and is the entrance that many tour groups like. Xinjian Palace Gate has fewer people, but the disadvantage is that it is a bit far from the subway station, and you need to take a taxi or bus directly to get there. Ximen and Nanruyi Gate are far from the main attractions. If you are not staying in Beijing for a long time, it is not recommended to enter from these two gates. ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-06-11/image_1749613364365.png) 4. If you want to take pictures of "golden light through the hole", 4-5 o'clock is the best time to shoot ~ but it is best to go to Nanhu Island before 4 o'clock to get a good seat. - chinatravel note

I suggest you spend a day to see the exhibition, it's worth it! I didn't look at each piece carefully, and I could barely finish it in one day. I suggest you go to the Ancient China Hall first. I thought I had plenty of time, but it was noon when I finished this area. I had a rough look in the afternoon because time was tight. I was in a hurry and barely finished it in one day. That's all I can think of for now. I hope it helps you. Remember to take beautiful photos after reading~ - chinatravel note

Various novel exhibitions and graffiti walls can be seen everywhere, as well as many stylish and popular coffee shops and restaurants, constantly convey a sense of freshness.

Although it is not in the 798 Park, it is a popular railway as a dividing line, so you can check in together. The locomotive and a series of winding large iron cans are a perfect place for taking photos‼ ️ Friends with plenty of time can consider checking in along the way! - I entered from Wanhong Road and then exited from Area A to end the trip👇👇👇Highlights‼ ️‼ ️‼ ️ ⚠️⚠️The recommended route is: Area F→Area E→751D.park→Area D→Area B→Area A ‼ ️It is recommended to save the route map in Figure 2 to avoid taking a lot of unnecessary detours ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749107664780.png) - 💡Tips: It will take a little longer to visit 751D.park than 798, and the geographical distribution is also wider. It is known as a gathering place for riders. Those who are familiar with motorcycle culture will not be unfamiliar with it. Old factories, abandoned trains, machinery, industrial oil tanks, strong metal temperament, very good for taking photos, friends who check in remember to allocate time reasonably ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749107682810.png) - 📍F District: Dream Plus, Shanzhongtian Art Center #Shanzhongtian Art Center - 📍E District: Graffiti Wall, UCCA Center for Contemporary Art #UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Bauhaus Square (Sculpture) #Bauhaus Square, Mirror Lake Art Space #Mirror Lake Art Space, Jiabaliu Design Store - 📍751D.park: #751D·PARK Beijing Fashion Design Plaza Locomotive Square, Old Lu District Square, Colored Containers, Train Tracks, Living 3D Museum #798/751 Living 3D Museum - 📍Zone D: M Woods Art Museum #M Woods Art Museum, Asia Art Center #Asia Art Center, Space Station, Ren Art Museum, 798 Opportunity Space, Can Art, Meilun Art Museum #Meilun Art Museum Saint Space, Xiaoke Theater #Xiaoke Theater, % Arabica Coffee Shop #% Arabica (M Woods Art Museum) - 📍Zone B: 798CUBE #798CUBE Art Center, Yue Art Museum #Yue·Art Museum, White Box Art Museum #White Box Art Museum, Fantasy Art Center #798 Fantasy Art Center·Barilin's Fantasy Journey, Sanyuan Contemporary Art Center #Sanyuan Contemporary Art Center, Name of the Rose - 📍Area A: Astronaut Reptile Club, Zhang Clay Figure Art Exhibition Hall, Arctic Coffee - 👉The most distinctive feature of 798 should be the art galleries and graffiti walls everywhere. If the weather is good, the photo output rate will be even higher. In addition to these, there are many creative markets and trendy toy stores from time to time. I personally think that Area E is the best to visit, and 751D.park and Area B are the best to take pictures‼ ️ Finally, I wish you all a happy time~ ❤️If you think it is useful, please click a little love and collect it! 👍 - chinatravel note
