    China travel guides covering Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Chengdu, Guilin, and the Great Wall — visa application strategy (mainland China requires a tourist visa for most Western passports), high-speed rail logistics, Forbidden City and Terracotta Army ticketing, and the cashless-payment realities (Alipay, WeChat Pay) that surprise first-time visitors.
