About the Programme

This programme is held onsite at library@orchard and also online on Zoom.

Now Boarding: Wanderlusters, adventurers, culture enthusiasts.

Are you thinking of exploring China for the first time but not sure where to go or what to prepare ?
While some may say that traveling in China is not as exciting as in the heady days of the 1990s and early 2000s, it has certainly become more predictable and comfortable. Join us to discuss:
        1        What are good places to visit for a first-time visitor to China?
        2        How to use digital payments in China?
        3        How to book flights, trains, and hotels?
        4        Translation apps
        5        Where and how to connect with locals?
For the more adventurous ones, we will tell you where you can find the old unpredictable and 'sanook' China.
