By using chinafortravelers.com you agree to these terms. They are short because the site is simple: free guides and tools for planning a trip to China.
What we are, and what we are not
We are an independent publisher. We are not a travel agent: we do not sell tickets, tours or hotel rooms and we do not book anything on your behalf. When you book through a link on this site, your contract is with that company, and their terms, prices and cancellation rules apply.
How accurate the information is
We research and check what we publish, and every guide shows the date it was last updated. Prices, timetables, opening hours and entry rules in China change, sometimes without notice, so a fact can go out of date after we check it. The visa checker and the 240-hour transit tools explain published rules; they are not legal advice, and the decision to let you board or enter is made by your airline and China's border authorities. We are not liable for losses that come from relying on information on this site. If you find something wrong, tell us — see Contact.
Affiliate links and paid placements
Some links to booking sites are affiliate links: if you book through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. They are marked rel="sponsored". If a company pays us for a placement, the page says so where the placement appears. How we decide what to recommend is described on our About page.
Free custom trip plans
Trip plans are free and carry no obligation to book anything. A plan is our editorial advice, written from the details you give us; it is not a booking or a reservation, and hotel, train and ticket availability is not guaranteed. Your plan is published at a private link that is not password-protected, so treat the link like a key. How we handle what you send us is covered in our Privacy Policy.
Using our content
The text, maps, photographs and tools on this site are ours unless a caption credits someone else. You are welcome to quote short passages and cite our data with a link to the page you took it from. Please do not republish whole pages, or scrape the site to build a copy of it.
Links to other sites
We link to official sources, transport operators and booking sites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or their availability.
Changes and questions
If we change these terms we update this page and the date at the top. Questions go to [email protected].
