Open tool →Why these exist
Most China trip research ends in a forum thread from 2019 and a shrug. These tools exist to replace that with checkable answers: the visa checker reads from the same country table our policy pages cite, the crowd calendar knows which Mondays the Forbidden City closes, the budget calculator prices Beijing and Datong differently because they are different, and the trip planner refuses to schedule you eight sights in a nine-hour day. Everything runs in your browser — no account, no email wall, nothing sold to you halfway through.
Each tool states the date its data was last verified and links to the official source behind it. When a policy shifts — visa lists moved twice in 2026 already — the tools update with the site. If a number looks off, tell us; being correctable in public is the whole point.
