Travel with light packs! Whenever you travel, make your packages
as simple and compact as possible. Carrying a light pack will
ease your trip, make it more comfortable and let you fully enjoy
the pleasures of traveling.
Materials/Documents
-
Never forget your valid visa and passport,
your identity card, as well as maybe some of your certificate
photos and other important documents or materials needed for
your travel. Put them into a sturdy and waterproof bag and
have them readily available.
-
Do not forget any tickets you bought or
booked in advance, for planes, trains or ships, and other
admission tickets.
-
Some paper, a pen, notebook and memo book
could be handy. Remember to bring a phone/address list of
your families, relatives and friends in case of an emergency.
-
Make a card on which there is your personal
information, including your full names, nationality, home
phone and address, in case you are ever in trouble.
-
Bring your printed itinerary. A guidebook
is also helpful for you to know more about your destinations
and will save time when traveling.
-
Try to bring clothes appropriate for the
weather at your destination. China is known for having four
distinct seasons. Please refer to and choose the best time to come.
-
Take leisurewear which will keep you relaxed
and comfortable when you travel, like jackets, sportswear,
jogging shoes and playsuit. In summer, bring several T-shirts
and cool pants. Do not forget to bring sunglasses, suntan
oil, and a summer hat. If you come across winter in China,
be sure to keep warm. Hats, scarves, masks, gloves and down
clothes are indispensable, but remember to keep them light
and portable. Finally, rainwear and an umbrella are good protection
on rainy and snowy days.
-
Include some clothes for those more formal
occasions you may want to attend, such as a show, banquet
or cruise.
-
Prepare some drugs for routine and emergency
use, including antibiotics, antidepressants, antihistamine,
Aspirin, vitamins, acetaminophen, essential balm, anti-allergic
preparations, remedy for dysentery and diarrhea and antacid
for indigestion.
-
Take along your case history (medical record)
and put it into your first-aid kit. That may be helpful when
you go to see a doctor.
-
Money is necessary. Bring your wallet and
carry it with you all the time. In your wallet have some cash,
traveler’s checks or bank cards that are available in China.
-
Take a camera with enough films, memory
cards and batteries. Sometimes an electric adapter, transformer
and plug converter are essential.
-
If you are a backpacker, daily supplies/articles
are also necessary for your travel. Do not forget a face-cloth,
toilet roll, cups/bottles, scissors, knife, and scotch tape.
There is no need for your backpack to be heavy and chock-full.
Everything you need can easily be purchased in China. You will
get good quality at the right place. Make your trip easy and
comfortable.
