culture

Behavior rules. China is a country with centuries-old traditions and culture, so it is better not to violate social and religious norms so as not to offend the locals.

  • You can not photograph military, strategic objects and government buildings, as well as people without first asking their permission.
  • In China, it is not recommended to argue about political topics, especially about Mao Zedong, student unrest, and so on.
  • You can not express dissatisfaction with the culture and history of China, as well as show disrespect for them.
  • You can't litter, you can be fined for it.
  • Do not show aggression or irritability towards the Chinese.
  • Most Chinese people are friendly towards tourists, so be prepared for the fact that many locals will greet you and maybe even point the finger - react calmly to this.
  • It is not allowed to touch a woman, take her by the arm.
  • It is not customary to open the door in front of a woman or give her a place, because. women and men in China have equal rights.
  • You should refrain from smoking in hotels, parks, squares and on the street, and drinking alcoholic beverages is also prohibited in these places.
  • Take food with chopsticks from a plate should be silent.
  • Noodles need to be pulled in with noise - this is what all the Chinese do, this indicates how tasty you are.
  • You can’t stick chopsticks (or appliances) vertically into a bowl of food - this resembles incense smoking in a temple, and therefore evokes thoughts of a transition to another world.
  • In no case should you string pieces of food on sticks - this will offend every Chinese.

Phones

Upon arrival in China, it is most profitable to buy a local SIM card, because. calls will cost less than if you call from the hotel. Cellular communication is widespread in China in almost the entire territory. When buying a SIM card, you should make sure that the selected tariff plan has international roaming. In addition, it is better to ask the seller on the spot to activate it, because. doing it yourself can be difficult without knowing Chinese. You can buy a SIM card at China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom offices. You can also purchase cards for international calls with per-minute payment.

For calls to Russia, you need to dial 007 (Russian code) + city code + the phone number you need.

If you have visited our website and are reading this article now, it means that you are planning to fly to Hainan Island soon, relax in the sunny city of Sanya, chic Boao, business Haikou or the tropical part of the island, meditating on the springs or in the mountains. Or maybe, on the contrary, you return home with suitcases full of gifts, souvenirs and do not know how many rechargeable batteries (Power bank) you can carry with you.

Before flying, of course, you should always check with your chosen airline about the rules and regulations for baggage and hand luggage, as each airline may have its own exceptions.

What you can take on board the aircraft in hand luggage:

1. If no additional security measures are introduced, then it is allowed to carry liquids with a total volume of 1 liter in 100 ml packages in hand luggage. Liquids include: water, drinks, creams, lotions, aerosols, gels, foams, pastes, etc. Cosmetics (mascara, lip gloss) are also liquids. But be aware that if your 200 ml shampoo bottle is half filled, then it cannot be transported. The exception is baby food needed by the child during the flight.

2. Aeroflot has recently allowed the transportation of small-sized means for personal transportation on lithium batteries: unicycles, segways (mini-segways), hoverboards, gyro scooters, electric scooters, but in a certain order. The lithium-ion battery must be removed from the device itself and transported separately in hand luggage, and the hoverboard itself (or other small-sized personal vehicles) must be checked in with luggage, but the main thing is that the power of such a battery does not exceed 160 watts per hour. If you have a built-in battery, then you can’t carry it that way, you need to register the cargo with the airline as dangerous. It is also important to call the airline and inform that you are carrying this device, they will tell you exactly what to do with it, at least Aeroflot and many other Russian airlines have such a rule.

3. Valuables: documents, jewelry, equipment (phones, laptops). I will tell you even more, these things must be taken with you, and not left in your luggage. Protect yourself from unnecessary frustration and wasting time looking for your things, after all. You never know, one of the forklifts will accidentally open your luggage and decide that "what has fallen is gone" =)
4. Medications that you will need during the flight. But when going through security, they may require you to prove that you will really need these medicines in the cabin. Otherwise, they may be confiscated. People with diabetes who may need insulin shots on the plane should have a certificate to prove the necessity of having your medications on board the plane in case of questions.
5. Baby cradle.
6. Crutches, which are necessary for the movement of the passenger (and not "I'm just taking my friend home, otherwise he pulled the ligaments").

7. Charger portable device (Power bank). These batteries can ONLY be taken in hand luggage. You can't put them in your luggage! If you check in your Power bank, you will have to turn your bag inside out at the airport to find and transfer it. All Russian, as well as foreign airlines adhere to this rule.
I came across a situation when, when I was at customs, people were taken away their power bank, because there were no stickers about battery power. Therefore, before I go to the airport, I check if the marking is present on my device, otherwise it was suddenly erased. It is forbidden to carry on board an aircraft a power bank with a capacity exceeding 20,000 mA.
Always try to keep your devices charged. Customs may ask you to turn on your device. If it is completely discharged and does not work, they may decide that this is just a dummy and force them to say goodbye to it.

8. The following items with lithium batteries: phones, laptops, camcorders, watches, players, portable medical devices with a battery capacity of not more than 100 Wh. Such devices and equipment can and should be carried in hand luggage. And for other devices with a lithium-ion battery capacity exceeding 100 Wh, you need permission from the airline itself to be transported on an airplane.

In addition to your carry-on baggage and your baggage, you can take all of the following things and items one by one for free (i.e. one person can carry all this in addition to their cabin baggage without payment):

  • handbag or briefcase;
  • folder for papers;
  • umbrella;
  • cane;
  • bouquet of flowers;
  • outerwear;
  • printed publications for in-flight reading;
  • cell phone;
  • camera;
  • video camera;

All listed items are not presented for weighing and are not subject to registration.

It is forbidden to carry dangerous items and substances in the cabin and checked baggage: weapons, flammable substances and liquids, liquefied gases, explosives, toxic, radioactive, poisonous, caustic substances. This is obvious and does not raise questions. In hand luggage, you cannot carry piercing and sharp objects, which include seemingly harmless household items: a corkscrew, a metal file and nail clippers, scissors, tweezers, a straight razor, a folding knife. All this must be checked in as baggage. For example, an electric razor or a razor with replaceable blocks is allowed in hand luggage, and nail files are soft with rounded edges.

Products of animal origin are PROHIBITED on quite a few airlines. It can be animal fur, ivory, bear bile and much more.

Since March 2009, it is forbidden to import dairy and meat products into the territory of the EU countries in luggage and hand luggage.

According to the rules, you can bring food with you, but it is not advisable, unless it is bought at the place of waiting for boarding the plane, after checking tickets and passport control. But many carry a treasured sandwich or chocolate on board the plane. But be prepared for the fact that you will come across a hungry customs officer who decides to keep your Alyonka for a short memory (just kidding!).

It is FORBIDDEN to carry strong-smelling fruits (for example, durian) or exotic fruits from around the world that have themselves established such a rule (for example, jackfruit in China and India), both in hand baggage and in checked baggage.

All relevant information about the rules for carrying hand luggage is posted on the websites of airports and airlines. Therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant situations at the airport, if in doubt, "is it possible to carry my samurai sword in luggage", then do not be lazy and check with the airline on which you are flying.
