Traveller Tips

  • DiDi (China's ride-hailing app) requires a Chinese phone number to register — set it up before arriving.
  • Yulin's historic Old Town and city walls are worth a visit; allow extra travel time as the city centre is roughly 20–30 minutes from the airport.
  • Flight connections often route through Xi'an, Beijing, or Chengdu — check layover times carefully when booking onward domestic travel.
