Hey There! π
When I first landed in China, I was totally lost trying to pay for stuff. Cash? Cards? Nope - everyone was just waving their phones around! That's exactly why I created PayInChinaGuide - to save you from the confusion I went through.
Look, China's basically gone cashless these days. WeChat Pay and Alipay are EVERYWHERE - from street food vendors to high-end restaurants. And while it might seem overwhelming at first (trust me, I've been there!), it's actually pretty straightforward once you know the tricks. That's what this guide is all about - sharing all the tips and hacks I've learned along the way.
Whether you're coming for a quick visit, a work stint, or to study, I've got your back. This guide is packed with real-world advice that I wish someone had given me when I first arrived. No corporate speak, just practical tips from someone who's been in your shoes.
Got questions? Run into a weird payment situation? Drop me a line! I'm always updating this guide with new tips and tricks from my own experiences and from other expats in China. Let's make sure you're ready to tackle China's mobile payment scene like a pro! π
