Frequently Asked Questions by Australian Travelers
Do Australians need a visa for China in 2026?
Australian passport holders now enjoy 15-day visa-free travel to China. For stays over 15 days, a tourist visa is required. We provide visa support documents as part of our tour package.
What is the best time for Australians to visit China?
Spring (April-May) and Autumn (September-October) offer the best weather. July-August is China's summer holiday season — expect crowds at major attractions. December-February is great for winter scenery. Australians often travel during our winter (June-August) to enjoy China's summer.
How much does a China tour from Australia cost?
Our 8-day China tours start from A$2,690 per person (land package, excluding flights). A 12-day premium tour covering Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, and Guilin ranges from A$3,890-A$5,290.
Can I use my Australian phone in China?
Yes, but roaming charges can be expensive. We recommend buying a local SIM card at the airport (China Unicom or China Mobile) or an eSIM before departure. Free WiFi is available in most hotels and cafes.
Is China safe for Australian families?
China is very safe for family travel. Public transport is clean and efficient, attractions are well-maintained, and the Chinese people are friendly and helpful with children. Our family tours include kid-friendly activities like panda volunteering, kite-making, and dumpling cooking classes.
