China and Spain are both ancient civilizations with splendid cultural heritages, delicious foods, and hospitable people. There is so much to learn, share and exchange between each other. Starting from December 1, 2023, until December 31, 2025, Spanish citizens with ordinary passports can travel to China for business, tourism, family visits, and transit purposes without a visa for up to 15 days. This visa-free policy makes it easier for Spanish tourists to explore China.


China has a rich and long history that is vastly different from Spain's. Spaniards can explore awe-inspiring sites such as the Great Wall, ancient palaces, city walls, buried armies, canals, pagodas, temples, and grottoes. These monumental treasures offer a glimpse into China’s fascinating past and showcase its remarkable craftsmanship and engineering. In this country, there are also some of the most stunning sceneries in the world, from Yellow Mountain to Zhangjiajie Sandstone Peaks, Jiuzhaigou Valley to Li River. China’s natural beauty provides ample opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers to explore and appreciate its scenic wonders.


Beyond its history and landscape, China is also a hub of modern architecture and innovation. Cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong feature futuristic skyscrapers, high-speed trains, and cutting-edge technology. The blend of tradition and modernity creates a unique and dynamic travel experience. At the same time, Chinese cuisine is incredibly diverse, with regional specialties that vary from province to province. Whether the Spanish visitors savor Peking duck in Beijing, noodle/dumplings in Xian, dim sum in Guangzhou, or spicy Sichuan dishes, their taste buds are in for a treat.


So, whether you’re drawn by visa-free travel, cultural charm, natural beauty or food appeal, China has much to offer Spanish travelers!

You should not drink the tap water, bottled water is inexpensive and readily available. If you like a 'cuppa', you may like to bring along a small supply of tea bags, coffee and milk powder. Most rooms have electric jugs or thermos flasks of boiling water to make hot.

  • What are the toilet facilities like on a China tour?

    All of hotels reserved by Easy Tour China for you are equipped with western style bathrooms and toilets. Obviously in the more remote areas, they may be a little more basic, but clean and simple is common. Whilst sightseeing, toilet facilities at restaurants and local tourist sites can vary and we would recommend that you carry tissues, wet wipes or disinfectant gel with you, “just in case”.

  • What should I pack?

    Casual clothing is appropriate at all times although clothes that are too revealing are still frowned upon in all over China. Try to pack lightly as your trip may involve an amount of personal baggage handling as porters are often not available except in larger hotels. For security reasons it is essential that your baggage can be locked whilst during air transportation between cities. At times, you may not be able to check into your hotel room immediately or be able to access your main bags. To ensure your comfort, a change of clothes in your hand luggage to coincide with local weather conditions is always handy. All personal toiletries should be taken with you and small packets of tissues or wet wipes are recommended. A small medical kit containing medication to alleviate common ailments is suggested.
