Communication
Without a doubt, communication can be a problem when traveling. Few people in China speak English and the country's official language is Mandarin, which despite being on the rise, is still not widespread. To solve this problem, try searching for the names of the things you want in Mandarin and writing down these names on a piece of paper. Knowing some basic words in the language, like greetings, for example, can also help you.
food
Sometimes, Chinese food can be eaten on the streets and in environments without much hygiene. If you don't want to take risks by venturing out at this point, try to opt for fast food chains and always eat in restaurants. Another option is supermarkets and bakeries, which have excellent quality.
Money
Chinese establishments usually only accept local credit cards. Therefore, it is good to always have Chinese money on hand. Also, remember to always bargain when buying a product in China. Unlike Brazil, this is a cultural habit in the country and not doing this can be considered disrespectful in some places.
Transport
The country's public transport is overcrowded, but it is quite efficient. However, using this method you can go anywhere. Furthermore, taxis can also be a good option, as they have good prices and efficiency. However, it is worth being careful with taxi drivers who use a tampered meter.
