Please do not worry about it. Most of the attractions and hotel have boards written in both Chinese and English. So I think you can have a nice trip there. But most of the local people know no English, so if you want to take taxis, I think you may print the destination's Chinese name on a card and show it to the taxi driver. Then he may drive you there diretly.
