Pros
- 1. Download every single app you can for China: WeChat, AliPay, Amap, DiDi, Baidu for starters, Meituan, EleMe for food delivery and a good translate app apart from Google (microsoft should work, even deepseek). REGISTER for these apps B...
- Amap, Alipay, AND WeChat all have ride hailing built in.
- Amap for navigation, any translation app is OK. actually in China, as long as you have Alipay or WeChat, you can pay anywhere, really convenient
- Even if you can access google maps it won't be particularly useful, download Amap Or Baidu Maps for personal navigation.
- Amap for maps, because Maps doesn't work.
Cons
- Amap is the chinese version of google maps, but i genuinely can't figure it out. I think you need a chinese phone number to be able to use it to it's full extent.

1. Download every single app you can for China: WeChat, AliPay, Amap, DiDi, Baidu for starters, Meituan, EleMe for food delivery and a good translate app apart from Google (microsoft should work, even deepseek). REGISTER for these apps BEFORE reaching China, so put your passport details, put your credit card info and all of that.
