Traveling in China? Here's what foreigners need to know about WeChat, Alipay, and more!

As a local living in China, I’ve noticed that many travelers struggle with everyday things here — especially when it comes to payments, booking trains, and using apps.

Here's a breakdown of what to expect when you're traveling around China:

💳 WeChat & Alipay: These apps are essential here, but they can be tricky to set up for foreigners. I’ve written a simple, step-by-step guide to help you set them up using a foreign card.

🚖 Taxis and DiDi: While taxis are easy to find, using DiDi (the Chinese Uber) requires a few extra steps that can be confusing if you’re not familiar with the system.

🍱 Food Delivery: Apps like Meituan and Ele.me are great for food delivery, but they're mostly in Chinese. Don’t worry, I have tips to navigate these apps like a pro!

I’ve helped several friends navigate these issues, and it made me realize how tough it can be to get around without a local guide.

If you’re planning to visit China and want to save time, feel free to check out this full guide with pictures and more tips!
