We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Shexian in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Shexian in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
