Plan in advance for a visa. China requires visitors from most countries to have an entry visa. It's best to prepare your application at least two months prior to your trip.
Consider visiting China in the off-season. If you visit China during late October or early spring, there will be fewer crowds and cooler temperatures.
Learn a few phrases in Chinese. Remember to keep a business card from your hotel to show to taxi drivers or in case you get lost while exploring.
You may be the tourist attraction. Chinese are not used to seeing Westerners in small places. You may find that people stare at you and even take photos of you, but most people are just curious. Don't take it personnaly, just be polite to them.
