  Packing Light

  One thing that will make your China Journey that much more enjoyable is to pack light. Travelling with too many items just in case will leave you with bags that are hard to manage, and you will have to manage yourself at times.

  The hardest issue for most is deciding where to draw the line between useful and unnecessary. For each item you should be clear when you will need it; leave everything else behind. For more on the subject try the following:

  • OneBag
  • Rick Steve's guide
  • The Universal Packing List
