The Chinese government has also recently issued its own travel advisory for U.S. citizens, warning them to "fully assess the risks of traveling to the United States" amid deteriorating economic and trade relations between the two nations. This advisory was issued in April 2025 following escalating trade tensions, with both countries implementing significant tariffs on each other's goods.
If you're considering visiting China, you should be aware that most travelers, including those from the US and UK, can explore most regions without a visa for up to 10 days (11 days if including the arrival day). This is part of China's recently relaxed and optimized visa-free transit policy, making travel more accessible for short-term visitors.
When traveling in China, expect conditions similar to pre-pandemic times. No special measures like PCR tests or health codes are currently required for travel within the country, and all attractions are operating normally. While mask-wearing is not mandatory in most places, many people still choose to wear them in crowded areas such as airports and subway stations.
For the best travel experience, consider visiting during spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), when most popular destinations enjoy favorable weather. However, be aware that the "golden weeks" during the first week of May and October typically see large crowds of domestic tourists at major attractions.
Regarding transportation within China, the country has an extensive public transit system, including high-speed trains. When using taxis, be cautious of potential overcharging, especially at airports. It's advisable to use only reputable taxis, avoid unlicensed "black taxis," and negotiate fares before entering the vehicle.
Road safety conditions vary throughout the country, with drivers often not respecting traffic rules consistently. If you choose to drive, obtain the proper paperwork including an International Driving Permit, carry it along with your US-issued license at all times, and ensure you have adequate insurance coverage.
For those traveling to Hong Kong or Macau, specific advisories apply. The U.S. recommends exercising increased caution in Hong Kong due to arbitrary enforcement of local laws, and reconsidering travel to Macau due to limited ability to provide emergency consular services.
As with any international travel, staying informed about changing conditions and advisories is essential for a safe and enjoyable trip to China.
