what my opinion about travelling to china is that do not travel to hubei province. the reason for that is that hubei province is the centre of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

I have one recommendation which may not be so good is that try not to travel to China due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak since there is still some comfirmed cases in china also.
even if you do land in china, you will have to do a 14-day self qurantine and also avoid visiting hubei province would be the best option.
Well anyway, which city are you and your friends travelling to which city in china.

Great questions, Sue. March will still be chilly through parts of China, so I recommend long pants and a jacket at the least. For all your other questions, I highly recommend you check out my China travel handbook that details everything I wish I had known before coming to China. It will answer all your other questions and many more.

Is it safe to walk around these towns after 6pm? How cold will it be? Will we be able to find vegetarian cafes? Do we need special footwear?

Hey Albert, February and March are great times to travel, although it can still be very cold in northern China. As for the transit visa, as long as you have a single flight ticket and are only spending a few hours in Moscow, you shouldn’t need a visa there. Check with your airline to be sure.

I’m planning to visit china, maybe between February and March next year, so my questions are:
– is this a good moment to travel to china?
– do I need a visa transit if my flight will be changed on the Moscow airport?
Thanks,

I think it will be fine. May holiday can get a little congested at the major tourist sites, but it’s not like Chinese New Year where everybody and their brother is traveling and a lot of stuff is shut down. It will be great weather, that’s for sure!

You should be fine, Martha. If you’re really worried, make sure you get some good pollution masks before you go. That will do the trick 😉
