China Travel Guide for Singaporeans: Visa, Safety & No-Shopping Tours 新加坡人游中国全攻略:签证、安全与无购物行程

China Travel from Singapore, Made Easy
新加坡出发游中国,轻松无忧

Travelling to China from Singapore is easy and rewarding with China Express Travel (华运旅游), Singapore’s dedicated China-tour specialist since 1994. On our no-shopping, escorted small-group tours, you travel with an experienced Mandarin-speaking guide (English-speaking guide available on request), with flights, hotels, and China group travel insurance arranged for you — so you simply enjoy the journey.

This page answers the questions Singapore travellers ask most before heading to China. First, visas: since 9 February 2024, holders of ordinary Singapore passports enjoy 30-day visa-free entry to mainland China, so no visa is needed for our 8-to-18-day tours — though travellers on other passports should check their own rules, and everyone should confirm the latest with official sources (ICA / the Chinese embassy) or a CET consultant, as entry rules can change. Second, safety and what an escorted tour actually feels like, from your guide to largely cashless payment.

Finally, the China Express Travel difference: our no-shopping promise, specialty regional meals, professional guides, and comfortable pacing that suits first-time and senior travellers alike. With more than 30 years of China-only focus, we cover deep single-destination journeys from Sichuan and Yunnan to the Yangtze. Browse all tours to begin.

从新加坡前往中国,选择华运旅游(China Express Travel),既轻松又充实。作为新加坡专注中国旅游的专家,我们自一九九四年起深耕至今。在我们无购物、领队随团行程中,您全程有经验丰富的中文领队陪同(可应要求安排英语领队),机票、酒店与中国团体旅游保险均已为您安排妥当,您只需尽情享受旅程。

本页面为新加坡旅客解答出发前最常见的疑问。首先是签证:自2024年2月9日起,持普通新加坡护照者可免签入境中国大陆,停留最长30天,因此参加我们8至18天的行程无需办理签证;惟持其他护照的旅客,请另行确认自身适用的规定,并建议所有旅客出行前向官方渠道(新加坡移民与关卡局 ICA / 中国大使馆)或华运顾问确认最新政策,因入境规定可能随时调整。其次是安全,以及领队随团行程的真实体验,从领队到大致无现金的支付方式。

最后,是华运旅游的与众不同之处:我们的无购物承诺、地道特色餐食、专业领队,以及适合首次出游者与年长旅客的舒适节奏。凭借三十余年专注中国旅游的经验,我们提供从四川云南长江三峡的深度单一目的地行程。欢迎浏览全部行程,开启您的旅程。

Do Singaporeans need a visa for China?
新加坡人去中国需要签证吗?

No visa is needed for these tours if you hold an ordinary Singapore passport. Since 9 February 2024, Singapore and China have a standing mutual 30-day visa-free arrangement: ordinary Singapore passport holders may enter mainland China visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism, business, visiting family, or transit. As China Express Travel’s tours run 8 to 18 days — well within 30 — no visa is required.

如果您持普通新加坡护照,参加这些旅程无需签证。自2024年2月9日起,新加坡与中国实施长期互免签证安排:持普通新加坡护照者可免签进入中国大陆,停留最长30天,用于旅游、商务、探亲或过境。华运旅游的行程为8至18天,远在30天之内,因此无需签证。

A few important points to keep in mind:

  • The 30-day visa-free entry applies to Singapore passport holders. If you travel on another passport — for example, a Singapore Permanent Resident or a foreigner living in Singapore who holds a Malaysian, Indian, or other passport — you are not automatically covered, and should check your own nationality’s China entry rules. Singapore passport = no visa needed; other passports = please confirm your own requirements. Our consultants are happy to advise and assist.
  • Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from your travel date. Please confirm this before you travel.
  • Entry rules can change. Always confirm the latest requirements with official sources — Singapore’s ICA or the Chinese embassy — or simply ask your China Express Travel consultant, and we will guide you.

几点重要提示:

  • 30天免签仅适用于新加坡护照持有者。若您使用其他护照出行–例如持马来西亚、印度或其他护照的新加坡永久居民或在新外籍人士–则不自动适用,请自行查询相应国籍的中国入境规定。新加坡护照=无需签证;其他护照=请确认您自身的要求。我们的顾问乐意为您提供建议与协助。
  • 护照建议在出行日起至少还有6个月有效期,出发前请再次确认。
  • 入境政策可能随时调整。请务必通过官方渠道(新加坡移民与关卡局 ICA 或中国大使馆)确认最新要求,或直接联系您的华运旅游顾问,我们将为您提供指引。

Is China safe, and what is it like to travel there?
中国安全吗?在中国旅游是怎样的体验?

Yes. China is widely regarded as a very safe destination for tourists, with low levels of violent crime and a strong public-safety presence. As anywhere in the world, keep the usual care against petty pickpocketing in busy crowds, and you can travel with confidence. On a China Express Travel escorted tour, an experienced guide is with you throughout, so you are never on your own.

安全。中国被广泛认为是对游客非常安全的旅游目的地,暴力犯罪率低,公共安全保障完善。如同世界各地,在人潮拥挤处留意随身财物、防范扒窃即可,您大可安心出行。参加华运旅游的领队随团行程,全程都有经验丰富的领队相伴,您绝不会孤身一人。

What is it actually like on tour? You travel with a professional Mandarin-speaking guide (English-speaking guide available on request) from start to finish. Transport and hotels are arranged for you, and China group travel insurance is included in your tour fare — peace of mind that first-time visitors and senior travellers especially appreciate. Everyday spending in China is largely cashless, through mobile payment, and your guide is on hand to help with the practical details along the way.

跟团旅游实际是怎样的?从启程到归程,全程都有专业的中文领队陪同(可应要求安排英语领队)。交通与酒店皆已为您妥善安排,团费更包含中国团体旅游保险,让首次到访者与年长旅客倍感安心。在中国,日常消费多以手机移动支付完成,几近无现金,而一路上的种种细节,领队都会随时协助您打点。

For our high-plateau journeys — such as Tibet and West Sichuan (Daocheng-Yading) — itineraries are gently paced to help your body adjust to the altitude. If you have a heart or respiratory condition, please consult your doctor before travelling, and our consultants will be glad to talk you through what to expect.

对于高原线路,例如西藏川西(稻城亚丁),行程节奏皆从容和缓,让身体逐步适应高海拔。若您有心脏或呼吸系统方面的状况,出行前请先咨询医生,我们的顾问也乐意为您细说沿途所需留意之处。

The China Express Travel difference
华运旅游的与众不同

Since 1994, China Express Travel / 华运旅游 has been Singapore’s dedicated China-travel specialist — more than 30 years, one country, done properly. Every tour is a no-shopping tour, escorted by a Mandarin-speaking guide (English-speaking guide available on request), with specialty regional meals along the way and a fare that already covers your flights, coach, twin-share hotels, listed meals, attraction tickets and China group travel insurance.

自一九九四年以来,华运旅游 / China Express Travel 一直是新加坡专注中国旅游的专家 — 三十余年,只做中国,用心做好。每一个团都是无购物团,由专业中文领队全程陪同(可应要求安排英语领队),沿途安排特色地方风味餐;团费已包含国际机票、旅游巴士、双人共享酒店、行程列明的餐食、景点门票,以及中国团体旅游保险。

A China-only specialist since 1994
始于一九九四的中国专家

For more than 30 years we have focused on one country — China — and nothing else. That single focus is why our itineraries reach beyond the usual highlights into genuine deep-travel (深度游) regions such as Sichuan, Yunnan, Xinjiang, Tibet, Gansu-Qinghai, Guangxi, Shandong, Shanxi/Shaanxi and the Northeast, plus exclusive themed trains and the Vista Aurora Yangtze cruises.

三十余年来,我们只专注于一个国家 — 中国。正是这份专注,让我们的行程不止于热门景点,更深入真正的深度游区域,如四川、云南、新疆、西藏、甘肃青海、广西、山东、山西陕西与东北,还有专属主题列车与长江「维斯塔极光号」游轮。

The no-shopping promise
无购物承诺

No compulsory shopping stops. No forced optional-activity sales. On a China Express Travel tour your time goes to sightseeing, not to sales rooms — so the days you paid for are spent on the places you came to see, at a relaxed and honest pace.

没有强制购物站,也没有强推的自费项目。在华运旅游的行程中,您的时间用于游览,而非购物商场 — 您付费的每一天,都真正花在您想看的风景上,节奏从容而真诚。

Specialty meals & escorted small-group tours
特色美食与领队随团服务

Regional Chinese cuisine is featured along the way, so the food is part of the journey rather than an afterthought. Throughout, an experienced professional guide who speaks both English and 简体中文 travels with your group — explaining what you see, handling the logistics, and making sure nothing is lost in translation.

沿途安排各地特色中华美食,让「吃」也成为旅程的一部分,而非将就。全程由专业中文领队随团陪同(可应要求安排英语领队) — 为您讲解所见、打理行程细节,让您不因语言而错过任何精彩。

Comfortable, senior-friendly pacing
舒适从容·长辈友善的节奏

Many of our tours are paced for comfort. The fully escorted format — a guide with you throughout, transport and hotels arranged in advance, and insurance included — takes the guesswork out of travel, which suits first-time and older travellers especially well. For high-plateau routes such as Tibet or West Sichuan, we keep the pacing gentle; travellers with heart or respiratory conditions should consult their doctor before travel.

我们许多行程都以舒适为节奏。全程随团的方式 — 领队全程陪同、交通与酒店预先安排妥当、保险已包含 — 免去了自由行的种种不确定,特别适合初次出游与年长的朋友。对于西藏、川西等高原线路,我们会放缓节奏;有心脏或呼吸道疾病的旅客,出行前请先咨询医生。

What your fare includes
团费包含什么

Your tour fare covers international flights, coach and transport, twin-share hotels, the meals listed in each itinerary, attraction tickets, an experienced guide, and China group travel insurance. In short, the core of your trip is settled before you leave home.

您的团费包含:国际机票、旅游巴士与交通、双人共享酒店、行程中列明的餐食、景点门票、经验丰富的领队,以及中国团体旅游保险。简而言之,旅程的核心部分,在您出发前便已安排妥当。

What is added separately
需另行安排的费用

A few items are arranged separately: airport tax and driver & guide tips (added per traveller at booking on most fly-in tours), personal expenses, and a single-room supplement if you prefer not to share. A China visa is not included — but for Singapore ordinary-passport holders none is needed for these tours under the 30-day visa-free arrangement. Travellers on other passports (for example, Singapore PRs holding a foreign passport) are not automatically covered and should check their own nationality’s China entry rules. Entry rules can change, so always confirm the latest with official sources (ICA / the Chinese embassy) or your CET consultant before travel — our consultants will advise and assist.

少数项目需另行安排:机场税与司机、领队小费(大部分飞机团在报名时按人头收取)、个人消费,以及若您不愿与人同房的单人房差价。中国签证不含在内 — 但持新加坡普通护照者,在三十天互免签证安排下参加本类行程无需签证。持其他护照的旅客(例如持外国护照的新加坡永久居民)并不自动适用此安排,应自行查询所持护照国籍的中国入境规定。入境规定可能变动,出行前请务必向官方渠道(新加坡移民与关卡局 ICA/中国大使馆)或您的华运顾问确认最新信息 — 我们的顾问将为您提供建议与协助。
