  1. AT#990 - Travel to Southeastern China (Xiamen, Fujian, and Guangzhou) Chris Christensen 59:50

Hear about travel to Southeastern China as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jonty Crane from JontyTravels.com about his first trip to China, to a less-visited region.

This week’s show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Why should you visit Southeastern China?

Jonty says, “China is a unique country, with a fascinating history, and interesting sights, and these three areas discussed have seemingly almost no Western visitors despite only being half a day’s travel from Hong Kong.”

Jonty visited over the New Year 2025 from Hong Kong. Visiting China isn’t quite as simple as visiting other countries. We cover what you need to know in this episode.
