About Go2CN

What we do

Go2CN is an independent guide for people heading to China — whether you are planning a two-week trip, applying to a Chinese university, moving for work, or simply curious about one of the world's oldest living civilizations. We publish in-depth articles on travel, culture, education, history, and current affairs, written for a foreign audience.

Why we exist

Most English-language information about China falls into two camps: official promotional material on one side, and surface-level listicles on the other. Between them sits a gap — practical, honest answers to real questions like how do I actually get a train ticket without a Chinese ID, what does a dorm contract really say, or which customs will I genuinely be expected to follow. Go2CN exists to fill that gap.

Editorial standards

Every article on this site lists a publication date, and practical guides (visa rules, transport, pricing) are reviewed and updated as policies change. We cite official sources where they matter — government announcements, university admissions pages, and transport operators — and we flag uncertainty when rules vary by region or are changing. When we cover history or culture, we aim for accuracy over sensation, and we acknowledge when scholars disagree.
