Travel Tips for China

Travelling to China for a wedding is a wonderful adventure. Here are the essentials.

🛂

Visa

Great news: Denmark has visa-free access to China in 2026. For other nationalities, check with your local Chinese embassy or visa center well in advance, as processing can take 1 to 2 weeks.

✈️

Flights & Trains

Fly into Shanghai Pudong (PVG). From there, take the high-speed train to Changzhou, about 1 hour. You can book trains on Trip.com or the official 12306 app.

🏨

Where to Stay

We recommend the Atour Hotel on Yanling Middle Road (No. 666), Tianning District. Very close to the venue and to Tianning Temple. Modern, clean, and affordable. Book via Trip.com or Booking.com.

📱

Internet & Apps

Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, and most Western apps are blocked in China. Download a VPN before you travel, or switch to WeChat for messaging. Pick up a Chinese SIM or eSIM on arrival.

💰

Money

China runs on mobile payments. Alipay and WeChat Pay are accepted almost everywhere. International credit cards also work at hotels, restaurants, and larger stores. Carry some cash (RMB) for very local shops and street vendors where cards may not be accepted.

🗣️

Language

English is limited outside tourist areas. Download an offline translation app before you go. Apple Translate and Google Translate both support offline Chinese language packs.

🎁

Gifts

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. Please don't feel any obligation to bring a gift. Having you there to celebrate with us is more than enough.

🌤️

October Weather

Late October in Changzhou brings lovely autumn weather, typically 15 to 22°C (59 to 72°F). Bring light layers and a jacket for the evening. Bonus: it is osmanthus (桂花) season, and the city smells incredible.
