Ensure a smooth experience
Tipping is not widely expected in rural China; small tips are appreciated in tourist-facing contexts but are rarely required. If you receive exceptional service at a homestay or from a guide, a modest cash thank-you is fine.
Cash (Chinese yuan / RMB) is the most reliable payment method in villages; mobile payments (WeChat Pay, Alipay) are common in larger towns but may not be accepted by all local vendors. Bring sufficient cash and small bills for market purchases.
ATMs and card acceptance can be limited locally—withdraw cash in the nearest town before traveling to the village. Inform your bank of travel plans to avoid card blocks.

Dietary Restrictions
Tips for restricted diets.
Vegetarian options are usually available as the local diet includes many vegetable-based dishes and tofu. Communicate clearly (in Mandarin or with a translator) that you do not eat meat and ask for dishes without meat stock or fish sauce.
Vegan travel is possible but may be challenging because many broths and condiments contain animal products. Bring snacks and communicate dietary needs in advance; look for plain vegetable dishes and rice.
Staples like noodles, breads and soy sauce contain gluten; rice-based dishes are safer. If you have celiac disease, carry your own safe food and a card explaining dietary restrictions in Chinese.
Always state allergies clearly in Mandarin and carry medication. Local kitchens may have limited ability to guarantee allergen-free preparation.
