Hello!

I am going on the Woks and Chopsticks tour to China in October and was wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions on what to pack. Are there things that you recommend I definitely bring (ie. rain jacket) or not bring?

I know it's a bit early to start thinking about this, but I thought I might be helpful for anyone traveling to that region around the same time.

Thanks for your help!

What to pack

Hi Chrissy

Thank you for your post, it's always exciting preparing for going on a tour.

I always have my own personal recommendations for what to take on any tour:

Anti-bac hand gel.

Packs of tissues.

Travel toothbrush for easier use on trains.

Mini-torch for if you need to get up in the night and don't know where the light switch is.

Lots of carrier bags for dirty clothes.

Pack of wipes for hands / face on the trains.

Mini rain jacket or plactic poncho - see here for China weather:

There is also a list of things in our pre-departure info which may be of interest:

I hope this helps!

Any other suggestions are more than welcome.

Regards

Kelly
