My Portugal Experience
Two weeks in China took me from avatar-like mountain pillars to ancient waterfall villages frozen in time. This country constantly challenges what you think you might know about traveling. From the scale of its landscapes, the dept of its history, and the speed of its modernity it all hit differently in person.
Below you’ll find everything from my trip – the Great Wall to modern city skylines, all the honest practical stuff nobody else tells you about traveling China as a foreigner.

Portugal Travel Tips
Download Everything First
Get your VPN, WeChat, maps, and translation apps BEFORE you arrive. Most app stores are blocked inside of China.
Take the Trains
China's high-speed rail is fast, clean, and affordable. Book on Trip.com and compare prices of flights to trains.
Set of AliPay
Cash is nearly obsolete. AliPay works everywhere: street vendors to train stations. Link a foreign card before your trip.
