Chapter 1
At the Airport · 机场 jīchǎng
The airport is where your trip really starts — and where a little Chinese goes a long way. Staff at big airports usually speak some English, but these ten phrases will get you through check-in, security, and boarding with zero panic. Say them slowly and clearly; airports are loud, and confidence matters more than perfect tones.
- 请问，去北京的航班在哪里值机？ · qǐngwèn, qù Běijīng de hángbān zài nǎli zhíjī?
- 这是我的护照。 · zhè shì wǒ de hùzhào.
- 我要托运行李。 · wǒ yào tuōyùn xíngli.

Chapter 2
Taxis & Getting Around · 出租车 chūzūchē
Taxis in China are cheap and everywhere, and drivers are some of the friendliest people you'll meet. The golden rule: have your destination in Chinese characters on your phone before you get in — then these phrases handle the rest. And always ask for the meter.
- 师傅，去这个地方。 · shīfu, qù zhège dìfang.
- 请问，去…要多少钱？ · qǐngwèn, qù … yào duōshao qián?
- 打表，好吗？ · dǎbiǎo, hǎo ma?

Chapter 3
At the Hotel · 酒店 jiǔdiàn
Checking into a Chinese hotel is refreshingly simple — your passport, a deposit, and about five minutes. These phrases cover the front desk, your room, and the little questions that always come up on the first night. The Wi-Fi password one will save you every single time.
- 我预订了房间。 · wǒ yùdìng le fángjiān.
- 请给我一张房卡。 · qǐng gěi wǒ yìzhāng fángkǎ.
- 房间里有无线网吗？ · fángjiān li yǒu wúxiànwǎng ma?

Chapter 4
At the Restaurant · 餐厅 cāntīng
Eating is half the reason to visit China, and you don't need fluent Chinese to eat extremely well. Pointing at pictures plus these phrases will carry you through ordering, spice levels, and paying the bill. When in doubt, 我要这个 (wǒ yào zhège) — 'I'll have this one' — is the most useful sentence in this whole book.
- 两个人。 · liǎngge rén.
- 有英文菜单吗？ · yǒu Yīngwén càidān ma?
- 我要这个。 · wǒ yào zhège.
+ 7 more phrases · dialogue: Ordering Lunch
Chapter 5
Shopping · 购物 gòuwù
Markets and small shops are where your Chinese earns its keep — and where a little bargaining is expected, not rude. These phrases help you ask prices, try things on, and walk away gracefully. Remember: smiling while you bargain works better than a poker face.
- 这个多少钱？ · zhège duōshao qián?
- 太贵了。 · tài guì le.
- 便宜一点，好吗？ · piányi yìdiǎn, hǎo ma?
+ 7 more phrases · dialogue: Bargaining at the Market
Chapter 6
Asking Directions · 问路 wènlù
Getting a little lost in China is half the fun, as long as you can ask your way back. People are genuinely happy to help a visitor — stop someone, smile, and open with 对不起，打扰一下 (duìbuqi, dǎrǎo yíxià). Keep your destination saved on your phone too, so they can point at the map.
- 对不起，打扰一下。 · duìbuqi, dǎrǎo yíxià.
- 请问，地铁站在哪里？ · qǐngwèn, dìtiězhàn zài nǎli?
- 怎么去…？ · zěnme qù …?
+ 7 more phrases · dialogue: Finding the Subway Station
Chapter 7
Sightseeing · 观光 guānguāng
China's sights — the Wall, the temples, the old towns — reward the traveler who shows up early and asks good questions. These phrases handle tickets, opening hours, and the eternal question of whether photos are allowed. And yes, people will absolutely offer to take your photo.
- 门票多少钱？ · ménpiào duōshao qián?
- 几点开门？ · jǐdiǎn kāimén?
- 几点关门？ · jǐdiǎn guānmén?
+ 7 more phrases · dialogue: Buying Tickets at the Great Wall
Chapter 8
Paying & Money · 付款 fùkuǎn
China runs on phone payments — WeChat Pay and Alipay — but cash still works in most places, and cards work in bigger ones. These phrases cover every way to ask, pay, and double-check the bill. When a vendor points at a QR code and says 扫这里 (sǎo zhèlǐ), you'll know exactly what to do.
- 一共多少钱？ · yígòng duōshao qián?
- 可以用微信支付吗？ · kěyǐ yòng Wēixìn zhīfù ma?
- 可以用支付宝吗？ · kěyǐ yòng Zhīfùbǎo ma?
+ 7 more phrases · dialogue: Paying at the Shop
Chapter 9
Health & Emergencies · 健康与紧急情况 jiànkāng yǔ jǐnjí qíngkuàng
You will probably never need this chapter, and that's exactly why it's here. In a real emergency, simple loud Chinese beats perfect Chinese — 救命 (jiùmìng!) needs no grammar. Read these once before your trip so they're in your head if you ever need them, and keep your hotel's address card in your wallet.
- 救命！ · jiùmìng!
- 请帮帮我！ · qǐng bāngbang wǒ!
- 请叫救护车！ · qǐng jiào jiùhùchē!
+ 7 more phrases · dialogue: Getting Help When You Feel Sick
Chapter 10
Small Talk & Goodbye · 闲聊和告别 xiánliáo hé gàobié
The last chapter is the most fun: the little conversations that turn a trip into stories. Chinese people are often delighted — and a bit surprised — when a visitor speaks even a little Chinese. These ten phrases won't make you fluent, but they will make you friends. End every trip with 再见 (zàijiàn) and a promise to come back.
- 你好！ · nǐhǎo!
- 我叫…，你呢？ · wǒ jiào …, nǐ ne?
- 我是加拿大人。 · wǒ shì Jiānádàrén.
