Halo Emma, i have heard alot about alipay as the major method of payment in china. If i have a teenager coming with me to china, will i be able to set up an alipay account under their name and mobile phone number in advance within my country before leaving - while connecting it with my other credit/debit card under my name (as a parent) which i havent linked to my own alipay account? Tq beforehand.. #hoping to get an answer of help 🙏

Are those food apps in english? i dont understand chinese xixi

Great information thank you! Very excited to visit China

Thanks for the great informations 👍👌

Hi Emma, thank you for your videos, they are very informative. Further to the question from @ilredellest6040, if we are using cash, is it possible to pay for Restaurant orders (using QR Code) and DiDi with cash or is that only available with a linked card in the respective apps? Some countries we have travelled to accept cash in these services, that's why the question in relation to China.

This is super helpful, thank you!!

It ill be my second time in chengdu snd third time in 🇨🇳 love it. I know a few phrases to speak but heavily relies on baidu. But it’s fun exploriand talking with people. I’ve travelled to smaller cities and very province areas.

您的视频对外国人很有帮助。谢谢您。

Very useful indeed. Thank you!

Why don't you Tell the Chinese do n don't overseas

thank you !!!!!!! I can't wait to explore China with your tips

Ive just started planning for my first trip to China next year. Your videos are most helpful! And you are right - very few Chinese people are making them. Thank you so much and keep making more!

Hello. I travel to Kunming and Dali in two weeks from my home in Cambodia. I am Australian and have found your video very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you very. much for the update info. Looking forward for the 10 Don'ts ! we are planning to visit Yunnan in Dec. My kids don't know how to speak Chinese, so this would be very useful...

Simple and Usefull - Thank you Emma. I wish you a lot of success with your channel ;o)

I’ve noticed you can’t send money on WeChat u less you have a Chinese bank account.

How do you use Google Translate while in mainland China?

Sometimes in the subway, connection to wechat weak and must use cash.

Very true. Thanks Emma. Would be nice if you could give specific examples of your personal experience in achieving such advance level of fluency in English without studying or working in an English speaking country. Perhaps you have attended international schools in China or have close friends who are native English speakers?

Hello, Emma, thanks for advices. I have a question related to Wechat: to sign up, it requested to somebody scan my wechat qr code. How can be do that if i don't know anybody with Wechat? Xié xie

thanks for all the info. Skipping China in favor of Japan, Korea and t h a t island. Just too much hassle in China.

Ich empfehle ein Daten Roaming zu kaufen. Wi fi ist zwar in vielen Geschäften umsonst, aber du benötigst eine Festland Telefonnummer.

Hi, just discovered your channel; very helpful information! Please keep uploading :-) Also if I may ask would you perhaps consider making video's with language tips for learning Cantonese? Still trying to find good resources for that (especially for those unfamiliar with the different tones). Thank you again for your valuable content!

Dear Emma, Greetings from India ! I am planning to visit China and got valuable information about updates thru your videos ! I express hereby my heartfelt thanks for you. With all good wishes ! 🙏

Nice video. I like your artwork.

Thank you for sharing. Im travelling to China in few weeks. What VPN app do you recommend I install on my phone before I arrive? I hear some VPNs don't work there

Great content. Thanks for sharing. Can I please ask which VPN app works best in China? I would like to be able to navigate using Google and Google Maps

Xièxiè nǐ jiějiě

good thx. The issue with wechat pay and alipay not always working for foreigners is , I think , the linked bank card which is always Visa or Mastercard, whereas the chinese bankcards use Unionpay. So some vendors do not have Visa or Mastercard authorisation. Maybe you could explore this in more depth and make a video because it's all very confusing

emma i need your help

I can't find baidu translate, only baidu maps.

Is complete authorization necessary on wechat, because of that limit? And why they cancel the 7-day metro ticket? This system is a bit confusing, it's really stressful for tourists, thinking about whether we have enough on the metro card and how much we need to top up.

Only can link to WeChat if you have local china SIM card?

Thank you for the helpful ideas and tips. Yep, I've subscribed and am eagerly awaiting your next video. We'll be visiting CN soon in 6 months. We are eagerly looking forward to this adventure

Express VPN didn't work for me at all when I was in SH/Xi'an in 2024 - - - -There are better options, but they will refund your money :)

Hey, I’m from Germany and I wanted to ask how do I get visa because I want to stay in china like 2 weeks vacation.

I am really enjoying these travel tips. I would love for the series of videos to continue!

你的视频还不错 - 我同意你看法 - 可是对外国人来说 - 有的时候我碰到付钱问题 - 比方说，微信不行-我不会用微信付钱 - 支付宝很顺利用的。我自己带现金，因为小城镇，游客地方有时候接受现金 - 比方说，我在兵马俑没有提前买票，只有在微信，所以我用现金买票。 加油，很享受你的视频！

I am coming to China for a week. Your video is useful. Although you explained how important it is to use online payments, is it still possible to stay for a week depending solely on cash?

hello, thank you for the information, it was very useful, I want to travel to China in September, since the visa has been removed with my country, but I have only 2 questions , that are making me think about coming there the first is the use of cash , I don't know if it is possible to use it in restaurants, metro, taxis and markets or is impossible to survive only in cash ? and most importantly, I read a lot and watched a lot of videos about moving through cities, because the maps are only in Chinese and it seems impossible? I don't know if there is an option in English? thank you and have a nice day !

Thank you for sharing ❤

Since China expanded the 144-hour transit visa to more countries, it is way more convenient for foreign friends visiting China this year. However, I noticed that there are not many native Chinese who share first-hand travel tips online, so I wonder if I can make this video to better help you prepare for your trip here. In this series, I want to share the Top 10 practical tips about what you must do and the Top 10 things you should avoid while traveling in China, from a Chinese insider's perspective.

Great video! Thank you so much. I’m travelling to Shanghai for one month in September and I find it really helpful! 🩷 Do you have any tips for vegetarian food in China?

I think people who want to travel to China need to learn using Baidu map. I usually use the English veison of Baidu map in an app called Immersive when I travel to China. Trust me, it is really useful.

Good job Emma🎉

Good job Emma 👍

Many people think they lack the talent for language learning. Still, the real issue might not be the problem of whether you have language talent, but… because you might lack understanding of a crucial theory: Comprehensible Input. If you can manage this game-changer tool, your language learning timeline could shrink from years to months or weeks!

During this process, trust me, you will realize how learning English opens up a whole new world of connections. So, enjoy the ride, make it fun, and keep pushing yourself.
