What to pack for a trip to China?

willy -- Wed 20, 2013, 6:12 pm

We need to know what to pack for a 15-day trip in China. We are two girl students and this will be our first time going to China. We will be in Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou but we want to know what to pack so we don't stand out and can fit into each our suitcase under 50 pounds. We will be there from late June to July so we need to dress accordingly!

Thank You : )

Casual clothing is appropriate at all times although clothes that are too revealing are still frowned upon in all over China. Try to pack lightly as your trip may involve an amount of personal baggage handling as porters are often not available except in larger hotels. For security reasons it is essential that your baggage can be locked whilst during air transportation between cities. At times, you may not be able to check into your hotel room immediately or be able to access your main bags. To ensure your comfort, a change of clothes in your hand luggage to coincide with local weather conditions is always handy. All personal toiletries should be taken with you and small packets of tissues or wet wipes are recommended. A small medical kit containing medication to alleviate common ailments is suggested.
