China Step by Step
A source-forward survival guide for first-time visitors to mainland China, covering entry, internet, payments, maps, transport, and identity checks.
Field notes
The project organizes preparation into six modules, including payment setup, mapping addresses for drivers, and identity-related problems that can block services. Its homepage lists 28 guides based on dated source records and four tools: a visa-condition checker, a departure VAT-refund calculator, a survival card, and a before-or-after-landing task sorter. A Romania-specific context layer is kept separate from the general China guidance, with English and Romanian navigation visible.
