China Information

Travel and Local Information Guide

There are many domestic airlines in China and since the country is so huge it makes sense to use them. Air China, China Southern and China Eastern are the three large state-owned entities that remain after the consolidation of the old carriers.

Meanwhile, in the cities, insist that the taxi meter is turned on otherwise use another taxi and it's best to have your destination written out in Chinese characters to avoid any 'misunderstandings'.
