Unquestionably the best China guide you can get your hand on. Dived into it the moment I purchased it. I've been to China before and followed Yasmin's recommendations, and I'm not planning a second trip using her guide and expertise. Trip due late 2026 and I couldn't be more excited!
Yasmin is incredibly knowledgeable, open-minded, and a true Sinphile and Sinophone. This coupled with her European upbringing ensures that she understands China and the rest of the world thoroughly, and you can see this throughout the guide.
Being a Muslim myself, the guide has been a great help finding halal recommendations and when not possible, vegetarian ones. You can have the best time in China as a Muslim and as a vegetarian too!
Cannot recommend the Ultimate First-Time China Guide enough. Really looking forward to my upcoming trip😍🇨🇳
Wow!!! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide for my first trip to China. Yasmin has created something that is incredibly well organized, easy to follow, and packed with useful information. As someone visiting China for the first time, this guide has made the whole planning process so much easier. It’s like having an instant handbook with everything you need, from food recommendations and transportation to useful phrases you can write in your notebook for basic conversations, plus so many other essential tips that make a real difference.
Everything is explained in such a clear and simple way. It covers all the essential apps you should download before arriving, transportation, payment methods, internet access, cultural etiquette, food recommendations, and practical advice that only someone with real experience would think to include. What I love most is that Yasmin has put all of this knowledge into a guide that even complete beginners can easily understand. It truly feels like having a knowledgeable friend guiding you every step of the way. 😍💜
I especially loved how beginner-friendly it is. It answers so many questions you don’t even realize you’ll have before traveling.
If you’re planning your first trip to China, I genuinely believe this is one of the best investments you can make. It has already given me so much more confidence before my trip and made me even more excited to explore. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting China, whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or with family.
Thank you, Yasmin, for all the work, passion, and care you put into creating such an amazing and valuable resource. It really shows on every single page! 🇨🇳❤️111
Amazing work Yasmin! I really enjoyed this practical guide to China! It’s easy to read, full of useful tips, and helped me learn a lot about Chinese culture and everyday life and how to travel easily as s foreigner ! I especially liked the so many tips and practical advice because it’s perfect if you’re planning a trip or just want to know more about the country.
One of the strongest points is that the guide includes practical advice rather than only general information. It helps readers understand local customs and avoid common mistakes.
I highly recommend this guide to anyone interested in China and also to independent travellers ! It’s informative, fun, and great value. Thumbs up , Yasmin!!😄
