To travel from Dublin, Ireland, to the main cities of China, you would generally take a flight. Here’s how to do it:

1. Flights from Dublin to China

  • Dublin to Beijing: There are direct flights available from Dublin to Beijing, which take around 10 to 11 hours. Airlines like Aer Lingus and China Eastern Airlines offer direct flights.
  • Dublin to Shanghai: There are also direct flights from Dublin to Shanghai, typically taking 11 to 12 hours. Airlines such as Aer Lingus and China Eastern Airlines also operate this route.
  • Dublin to Guangzhou: For Guangzhou, you may have to take a connecting flight, possibly through hubs like Dubai or Doha, as there are fewer direct flights available.

2. Connecting Flights

If you’re not flying directly to a major city, you may have to transit through other hubs, such as:

  • Dubai (Emirates or Fly Dubai)
  • Doha (Qatar Airways)
  • Istanbul (Turkish Airlines)
  • Frankfurt or London (for a connecting flight via Lufthansa or British Airways).

3. Arrival in Major Cities in China

Once you arrive in China, you can travel between cities by:

  • Domestic Flights: For longer distances (e.g., from Beijing to Shanghai or Guangzhou), it’s best to take a domestic flight.
  • High-Speed Train: For cities that are closer together (e.g., Beijing to Tianjin, or Shanghai to Hangzhou), the high-speed train system in China is efficient and comfortable.
  • Public Transit/Taxi: Major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have extensive metro systems, as well as taxis and ride-hailing apps like Didi for getting around.

4. Visa Requirements

Make sure to check the visa requirements for Chinese nationals before traveling. Most visitors will need to apply for a tourist visa (L visa) before entering China.
