China Packing List 20262026 中国行李清单

1 Sort the digital essentials before you fly 出发前先把数字装备搞定

Most first-timers worry about the wrong things. The single biggest mistake is arriving with nothing set up: no visa clarity, no way to pay, and no working phone. Sort these three before you book your flight and the rest of the trip gets much easier.大多数第一次来中国的朋友都把注意力放错了地方。最大的失误就是到了才发现什么都没准备好：签证没弄明白、付不了钱、手机也上不了网。在订机票之前先把这三件事搞定，后面的行程会轻松很多。

Think of it as laying the groundwork, not as packing a bag. Once your entry, payments, and phone are handled, you can enjoy the food, the cities, and the countryside without scrambling for a workaround.把这看作打地基，而不是装行李。只要入境、支付和手机这三件事搞定，你就能安心享受美食、城市和乡野，而不必手忙脚乱地找办法。

• Visa.签证。 Most visitors need clarity on entry rules before anything else. Several nationalities now qualify for visa-free or 240-hour transit stays, but it depends on your passport. Our 大多数旅客首先要把入境规定弄明白。部分国家护照已可免签或享受 240 小时过境免签，但取决于你的国籍。我们的 China visa guide中国签证指南 walks through it with a free eligibility checker.附带免费的资格查询工具，一步步讲清楚。
• Payments.支付。 Bind a foreign card to Alipay or WeChat Pay before you land and most payments become a simple QR scan. Our 落地前把外币卡绑定到支付宝或微信支付，之后绝大多数付款都只需扫个二维码。我们的 how-to-pay guide支付操作指南 has the step-by-step.有详细的分步讲解。
• Connectivity.联网。 An eSIM or local SIM means maps, translation, and ride-hailing work the moment you arrive. Our eSIM 或本地 SIM 卡能让你一落地就能用地图、翻译和打车。我们的 eSIM vs SIM vs roaming guideeSIM、SIM 与漫游对比指南 helps you choose.帮你选。

2 Documents and entry papers 证件与入境文件

Start with your passport. It should be valid for at least six months past your entry date, with a few blank pages for stamps. Make two or three paper copies and a phone photo of the ID page, separate from the passport itself.先从护照开始。它的有效期应至少比入境日期多出六个月，并留几页空白供盖章。把证件页复印两三份、再拍张手机照片，和护照分开放。

Bring a printed copy of your visa or visa-free entry confirmation, your hotel bookings for the first nights, and your return or onward ticket. You may be asked for these at check-in or on arrival. Travel insurance details are worth printing too.随身带好签证或免签入境确认的打印件、前几晚的酒店订单，以及返程或续程机票。值机或入境时可能会被要求出示。旅行保险的凭证也建议打印一份。

On the flight you will fill in an arrival card with your stay and contact details. Doing it from memory is fiddly; our arrival-card helper walks you through the fields so you are not squinting at a paper form mid-flight.飞机上你需要填写入境卡，写明停留信息和联系方式。凭记忆填很容易出错；我们的入境卡填写助手会带你过一遍各个栏目，不必在飞行途中对着纸表皱眉。

• Getting to your hotel.前往酒店。Book your airport pickup before you leave so you are not negotiating on patchy arrival wifi. You can arrange a 出发前先把机场接送订好，免得落地后在时好时坏的机场 WiFi 下讨价还价。你可以通过 Trip.com transfer in advance.提前订好接送。

3 Money: cards and a little cash 钱：银行卡加一点现金

Carry at least one international debit or credit card on the Visa or Mastercard networks, plus a backup. Tell your bank you are traveling so a foreign charge does not trip a fraud lock. At hotels, large malls, and big supermarkets, tapping a foreign card is routine.至少带一张 Visa 或 Mastercard 体系的国际借记卡或信用卡，再加一张备用。出发前告诉银行你要出行，免得一笔境外消费触发风控锁卡。在酒店、大商场和大型超市，刷外币卡是很平常的事。

Still bring some cash. A few hundred yuan in small notes covers temples, rural shops, street snacks, and the occasional taxi that prefers paper. You cannot rely on cards or QR codes in every corner of the country.但还是带点现金。几百元的小面额钞票能应付寺庙、乡村小店、街边小吃，以及少数更收现金的出租车。全国并非每个角落都能用卡或扫码。

The real game-changer is mobile payment. Bind a foreign card to Alipay or WeChat Pay before you land, and most everyday spending, from dumplings to the high-speed train app, becomes a QR scan. Our setup guide shows the exact steps.真正改变体验的是移动支付。落地前把外币卡绑定到支付宝或微信支付，之后从一碗饺子到高铁购票 App，绝大多数日常消费都变成扫个二维码。我们的设置指南有确切的分步操作。

4 Phone, SIM, and the apps you'll use 手机、SIM 卡与你用得到的 App

Make sure your phone is unlocked from any carrier, so you can use a local SIM. International roaming works but is usually pricey; a local eSIM or SIM is far cheaper for a stay of more than a few days.先确认你的手机没有运营商锁，这样才能用本地 SIM 卡。国际漫游能用，但通常很贵；停留超过几天的话，本地 eSIM 或 SIM 卡要划算得多。

An eSIM is the easiest route for most visitors: you buy and install it before you leave, and it connects the moment you land. Our connectivity guide compares eSIM, physical SIM, and roaming so you can pick what fits your trip.对大多数旅客来说，eSIM 是最省事的选择：出发前买好装好，一落地就能联网。我们的上网方案指南对比了 eSIM、实体 SIM 和漫游，帮你按行程来选。

Download the apps you will actually open: a maps app, a translation app, Alipay or WeChat Pay, and a ride-hailing app. Note that Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Gmail do not work reliably without a workaround, so set up your messaging and backup access before you fly.下载你真正会打开的 App：地图、翻译、支付宝或微信支付，以及打车软件。请注意，Google、WhatsApp、Instagram、Gmail 在没有替代方案时基本用不了，所以出发前就把通讯和备用访问方式安排好。

5 Power, adapters, and gadgets 电源、转换插头与小电器

China runs on 220 volts at 50 Hz. The common sockets are Type A (two flat pins, like the US) and Type I (three flat pins, like Australia). A single universal travel adapter handles both, and it is one of the cheapest things that saves the most stress.中国使用 220 伏、50 赫兹的电源。常见插座是 A 型（两扁脚，同美国）和 I 型（三扁脚，同澳洲）。一个万能旅行转换插头就能通吃两者，是花最少钱、最省心的一件装备。

Bring a power bank. You will use your phone constantly for maps, payment, and translation, and a dead battery in a foreign city is no fun. Keep it in your hand luggage: airlines limit spare batteries, usually to 100 watt-hours or less.带上充电宝。你会不停地用手机看地图、付款、翻译，而在异国他乡手机没电可不好玩。把它随身带上飞机：航司对备用电池有限制，通常是不超过 100 瓦时。

6 Health, medicine, and comfort 健康、药品与舒适

Pack any prescription medicine in its original packaging, with a copy of the prescription or a doctor's note. A small supply of over-the-counter remedies, for an upset stomach, a cold, or pain, covers the gaps before you learn the local pharmacy names.把处方药放在原包装里携带，并带上处方复印件或医生证明。再备少量非处方药，用于肠胃不适、感冒或疼痛，在你摸清本地药店名字之前能顶一阵。

Carry pocket tissues and a small hand sanitizer. Many public restrooms, especially older or rural ones, do not supply toilet paper, and a pack of tissues earns its place in your bag on day one. A few face masks help with long flights, crowded trains, and the occasional hazy day.随身带纸巾和一小瓶洗手液。许多公共卫生间，尤其是老旧或乡村的，不提供厕纸；一包纸巾第一天就能证明它值得占背包的位置。几个口罩对长途航班、拥挤的火车和偶尔的灰霾天都有用。

Comfortable walking shoes are the most-used item you will bring. You will log more steps than expected across metro transfers, old town lanes, and scenic areas. In summer, a hat and sunscreen matter; in winter up north, real cold-weather layers do.舒适的步行鞋是你带的最常用的东西。在地铁换乘、古城小巷和景区之间，你走的路会比预期多。夏天要帽子和防晒；冬天在北方，得有真正御寒的衣物。

• Medicine rule.带药原则。Bring prescription drugs in original boxes with a note, and keep over-the-counter amounts to a sensible personal supply, not a suitcase full.处方药带原包装并附说明，非处方药只带合理的个人用量，别装满一箱。

7 Clothing and weather by season 衣物与按季节应对天气

China spans almost every climate, so dress for where and when you are going. Layering beats one heavy coat: a base layer, a mid layer, and a shell adapt to heated trains, cold streets, and warm shops. Our best-time guide breaks down the seasons region by region.中国几乎涵盖所有气候，所以按你去的地点和季节来穿。叠穿比一件厚大衣更实用：内层、中层加外壳，能应付有暖气的列车、寒冷的街道和温暖的商店。我们的最佳出行时节指南按地区拆解了四季。

Spring and autumn are the gentle seasons, mild and good for walking. Summer is hot and humid in the south and crowded with domestic travelers; winter is cold and dry in the north and genuinely severe in places like Harbin. Pack for the extremes of your specific stops.春秋是最舒服的季节，温和宜人，适合步行。夏天南方湿热，且国内游客众多；冬天北方干冷，像哈尔滨这样的地方更是严寒。针对你具体停留城市的极端天气来准备。

Comfortable shoes first, then one smarter outfit for a nice dinner or a top hotel lobby. For temples and some sacred sites, cover shoulders and knees out of respect; a light scarf solves most situations.先保证鞋子舒服，再带一套稍正式的行头应付精致晚餐或高档酒店大堂。去寺庙和一些宗教场所，出于尊重要遮住肩膀和膝盖；一条轻围巾能应付多数情况。

• Plan by season.按季节规划。Check our 参考我们的 best time to visit China guide中国最佳旅行时节指南 for the regional weather and crowd picture before you choose what to pack.，在决定带什么之前先看清各地天气与人群情况。

8 What NOT to bring 别带什么

Leave the drone at home. Civil drone use in China is tightly controlled and usually needs advance approval, so a device you cannot legally fly is just dead weight. The same goes for bulky paper guidebooks: the apps and offline kits cover far more than a printed book.无人机就别带了。中国的民用无人机管控很严，通常需提前审批，一台不能合法飞行的设备只是累赘。厚重的纸质指南书也一样：App 和离线装备包覆盖的内容远超一本印刷书。

Do not pack fresh fruit, meat, or plants; customs rules are strict and confiscation is likely. Skip large amounts of cash too. Tell your bank instead and lean on cards plus mobile payment.别带新鲜水果、肉类或植物；海关规定严格，极可能被没收。也别带大量现金，改而通知银行、依靠银行卡加移动支付。

Finally, do not count on Western apps that are blocked in China. Set up your maps, translation, messaging, and a backup email route before you fly, so you are not stranded without access the moment you land.最后，别指望在中国能用那些被屏蔽的西方 App。出发前就把地图、翻译、通讯和备用邮件通道安排好，免得一落地就因无法访问而寸步难行。
