  A guide book with Chinese translations
by easyoar
 
 

Miscellaneous: Make sure you bring a Guide Book with you (obviously written in your local language), but make sure alongside every attraction heading, it has the Chinese name written in Chinese alongside. I found however hard I tried, the taxi drivers could not understand my attempts at Chinese, but most could read the Chinese in the guidebook.

As soon as you arrive in your hotel, make sure you get a card from your hotel that has their name and address in Chinese too, for the same reasons.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
