Welcome to Shanxi! We wish you a safe and enjoyable Labor Day holiday. The Foreign Affairs Office of the Shanxi Provincial People's Government issues the following recommendations:

1. Prepare Thoroughly Before Your Trip to Ensure a Smooth Journey

Understand Policies and Regulations: Please check official channels in advance for China’s entry policies and visa requirements. Confirm that the items you are carrying comply with customs regulations (such as restricted medications, cash limits, etc.). Avoid carrying unknown luggage for others.

Safety first when plan your trip: Pay attention to the validity period of your visa or residence permit. Stay informed about the weather, transportation, and safety tips at your destination, and avoid undeveloped areas or regions prone to natural disasters. For high-risk activities (such as climbing, swimming, etc.), choose licensed organizations and purchase accident insurance.

2. Abide by Laws and Regulations, Respect Cultural Customs

Follow Chinese Laws: It is prohibited to bring drugs, protected animal and plant products, and other banned items into China. Filming military facilities is also prohibited. Follow regulations regarding smoking and drone flying in public places. Protect cultural relics and do not touch exhibits casually.

Respect Cultural Differences: When in religious venues or areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, be mindful of your behavior and avoid offending local beliefs and customs.

3. Pay Attention to Personal Safety and Prevent Potential Risks

Take Good Care of Your Passport and Visa: Keep your documents secure and retain copies or electronic backups.

Avoid Solo Nighttime Outings: Be vigilant against theft in crowded places (such as tourist attractions and stations).

4. Consume Responsibly and Protect Your Rights

Choose Legitimate Services: Book hotels and tickets through official platforms and keep your receipts.

Beware of Consumption Traps: Be cautious of scams like "low-cost tours" and "shopping kickbacks". In case of disputes, please call 12315 to file a complaint.
