About ChinaStarter

ChinaStarter is an independent travel planning portal dedicated to China, combining 15 interactive calculators, 600 City / Prefecture (市 / 州) guides, and verified 2026 transit data.

ChinaStarter was built for travelers who want practical, numbers-backed guidance for China without bloated popups or generic filler. Every guide and interactive calculator is tailored specifically to China's transit systems (China Railway (12306) Fuxing 350 km/h High-Speed G-Trains (Your Physical Passport IS Your E-Ticket at the Manual/Passport Lane!) and Alipay & WeChat Pay Foreign Card Setup), currency (CNY (¥) ¥), and regional culinary traditions.
