Practical China travel guide for first-timers

Visit Website
May 14, 2026 Just launched FirstTripChina — a practical China travel guide for first-time visitors

Submitted my product on IH today:https://firsttripchina.com


FirstTripChina is a practical China travel guide for first-time foreign visitors, written by me — a Chinese software engineer living in Chengdu. It covers the friction points that trip up most Western travelers: 240-hour visa-free transit, Alipay setup with foreign cards, real-name attraction booking, high-speed rail in English. Free to read, no signup, no affiliate tours.


Would love it if you could:

- check it out and tell me where the homepage hook feels weak

- share it with anyone planning a first trip to China

- drop honest feedback — what's missing, what's confusing, what would make you actually trust the content


Thanks 🙏

About

Friends planning their first China trip kept asking me the same payment / VPN / booking questions. The real answers are annoyingly long because the friction is Chinese-specific — so I wrote them down.
