Heading to China without a local bank card or ID can feel daunting when it comes to paying, travelling or ordering food. This bilingual PDF was built to remove that friction, giving you a ready reference you can follow or show to locals when needed.

Inside you'll find 38 tested, step-by-step tutorials covering the apps most visitors rely on. The 20 pages are dense with content, averaging 2 full tutorials per page alongside screenshots of each app's interface, so there is little wasted space.

Apps and topics covered

  • Alipay - linking an overseas Visa or Mastercard, passport-based verification, setting up deductions
  • VPN tools - choosing, installing and testing a service before arrival, including stealth settings
  • DiDi - finding the correct English app and booking rides
  • AMap Global - reading metro routes and requesting rides in English
  • Meituan - ordering food by photo and entering a usable Chinese address
  • Railway booking via 12306 - registering by email, verifying your passport and reserving train tickets
  • Shared bike schemes - unlocking bikes through Alipay scans
  • Pleco and Baidu Translate - handwriting recognition and offline translation packs

Troubleshooting bonus

A dedicated section explains what to do if an overseas card is declined, how to switch to a backup card, and alternative ways to pay when your first method fails.

It was refreshed in 2025 so the screenshots and app steps reflect current versions, and it opens on any phone, tablet or computer with a standard PDF reader.
