What to pack and baggage allowance

China Tour Hub suggests all the tourists may possibly bring lighter baggage during their trip to China.

1. China is not only a country, but a world. Heavy suitcases may make you worn out during the tour.
2. China herself can be a shopping paradise, as she is becoming the "World Factory". You can buy what you want here at an even lower price.

The following is a reference for you to pack:

The passport with all necessary visas and other travel documents
The Dress Code for most places in China would best be described as "smart casual". 
"Carry On" luggage for air travel in China is limited to 2 pieces for first class travelers and one piece for business and economy class travelers. The dimensions of each shall not exceed 20X40 X55cm and the total weight of the above two pieces shall not exceed 5 kg. The carry-on items in excess of the above two pieces shall not exceed 5 kgs. The carry on items in excess of the above mentioned pieces, weight or dimension shall be checked-in as checked baggage according to regulations.
Wallet, Credit cards or maybe Traveler's checks.

Airline, Cruise or Train tickets
Medicine and vitamins for your daily use, possible first-aid kit.
Hat, Sunscreen and sunglasses, rainwear, depending on the season and your destination.
Address and telephone number list. A list of e-mail addresses, mailing addresses and telephone numbers will help keep you in touch. Type them onto a sheet instead of taking a your whole address book. It will save weight.

Itinerary with confirmation numbers and addresses and phone numbers of the places you'll be staying.
Insect repellent, especially for summer time and those travelers who are visiting rural areas.
