Standing Birdy Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Google alipay tourpass I managed to add credit card to wechat pay in my wechat. But I cannot scan other people, only people can scan me. Normally when shopping/eating at smaller shops you scan their code and type the amt to pay. Can use cash but some small biz might not have change for large notes Can use visa/master cards at major biz and restaurants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing Birdy Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Also download baidu maps for navigation. Google maps becoming less and less accurate after tiongland shut them out Download didi app. Didi take credit cards Trip.com app is useful for booking trains. Tiong ctrip app even better but need tiong id or id linked phone number. I try every trip but can never get it to work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
