Frequently Asked Questions

Postal Code System
China postal codes consist of 6 digits. The first two digits represent the province or autonomous region, the third represents the postal district, the fourth represents the county/city post office, and the last two represent the specific delivery station or street, ensuring precise logistical routing to neighborhoods.
Dialing Format & Area Codes
Chinese telephone networks consist of landlines and mobile networks. Landlines use a 3-to-4 digit regional area prefix (e.g., 0755 for Shenzhen, 020 for Guangzhou) followed by a 7-to-8 digit local directory number. This directory indexes these rules to generate mock numbers conforming to standard formats.
What is the length and format of postal codes in China?
Postal codes in mainland China consist of 6 digits. The first two digits represent the province, autonomous region, or municipality; the third represents the postal district; the fourth represents the county or city post office; and the last two represent the delivery bureau or block.
How are telephone area codes structured and allocated in China?
Mainland China telephone numbers feature 3-digit or 4-digit area codes (starting with '0', e.g., 010 for Beijing, 0755 for Shenzhen), followed by a 7-digit or 8-digit subscriber number. Mobile numbers do not use area codes and are 11 digits long.
How do you dial a China phone number from abroad?
To call mainland China, dial '+86', followed by the area code (without the leading '0') and the subscriber number (e.g., +86 10 8888 8888). For mobile numbers, dial '+86' followed by the 11-digit mobile number.
Do postal codes and telephone area codes in China align geographically?
No, postal codes and telephone area codes are independently planned and managed by different authorities (the postal service vs. the telecom authority), so their geographic boundaries do not align directly. One area code usually contains hundreds or thousands of postal codes.
Why is the correct postal code critical for mail and package delivery in China?
The correct postal code is the core basis for modern logistics and automated postal sorting. Writing the correct postal code avoids misrouting, reduces sorting steps, shortens delivery times, and ensures precise delivery to specific blocks or buildings.
How can I verify if a China postal code or telephone area code is valid?
You can use the directory hierarchy on our website to browse states, cities, and districts to check the postal code and area code mapping. For official confirmation, you can consult the official postal service or telecom authority of that country.
