Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: September 28, 2026

China Travel Toolkit participates in affiliate and referral programs. Some links on this site are commercial links. If you click one and make a qualifying purchase, China Travel Toolkit may earn a commission or referral reward at no additional cost to you.

What This Means for You

  • The price you pay is not increased because you use one of our affiliate links.
  • Compensation does not determine rankings, factual conclusions, or whether an official or free option is shown first.
  • Some products are personally tested and are clearly labelled as such.
  • Other products may be included based on current official information, relevance to the travel task, and documented product terms. Inclusion does not mean a product was personally tested unless the page says so.
  • We do not accept payment in exchange for a guaranteed positive review.

Current Commercial Partners

Current affiliate or referral relationships may include:

  • Trip.com for accommodation and train-booking options.
  • Klook for selected transport, attraction, activity, and connectivity options.
  • Saily for selected travel eSIM options.
  • Wise through a referral link where it remains relevant to a payment guide.
  • SafetyWing for selected travel-insurance options.

Partners, tracking terms, availability, and commissions can change. This page is updated when active commercial relationships materially change.

How Recommendations Are Made

China Travel Toolkit aims to show the official, free, or lower-cost route when one exists, followed by a paid convenience option where it may help a traveler. Before using a commercial link, check current availability, eligibility, coverage, total price, cancellation terms, refund rules, and provider support.

A commercial relationship does not turn a third-party service into the only available option or guarantee that it will suit every traveler.

Where Disclosures Appear

Pages containing affiliate links include a disclosure close to the relevant recommendation or call-to-action. A typical notice says:

Affiliate disclosure: We may earn a commission if you book or buy through this link, at no extra cost to you.

Commercial links are marked for search engines with appropriate sponsored-link attributes.
