Travel and places,
level by level

Travel words in Chinese: transport, stations and airports, tickets and hotels, directions, shops and public places, cities and countries, from the HSK vocabulary lists with readings and meanings.

In Lock&Learn Chinese these words sit in their level packs (HSK 1, HSK 2, HSK 5), one per glance on the widget: a word waits in hanzi with its pinyin; one tap reveals the meaning and a real sentence. HSK 1 is free; every other pack opens with a free preview and another word unlocks daily.

Type to filter by hanzi, pinyin or meaning. Flashcards hides the meaning until you tap a row; Shuffle deals the list in a new order.
