This is great! Most countries are adapting this all around the world! Its clean, less tasking and safe! Kenya is doing this too, all i need is to carry my phone when i leave the house, i love it😁.
Ok so my video binge is over, can’t wait to see your next video about the tour group travelling with you through China. I have FOMO so bad but know you will be bringing us along with your fun and exciting vlogs 🙌🏼🙌🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I set up we chat and alipay without a Chinese number, just linked a credit card through our local Serbian phone number (but I haven't completed the complete authorization for the offered limit, I don't think I need it for a tourist visit). Also we don't need a Chinese visa, and two mobile Chinese operators allow us to use mobile internet without a Chinese e-SIM card.
@@gambinogambinos2439 Šta ti se pokazalo kao bolja opcija Alipay ili Wechat? Uspeo sam da povežem oba s tim što sam na Alipay uspeo Visa (Intesa) ali ne i Mastercard, dok mi je na Wechat Master (OTP banka).
Just found your channel and binge watching your interesting life. It's been 4 months since an upload, hope all is well. Looking forward to new content 😊
it's convenient to the point that you feel you're going back in time when you travel almost anywhere else. Having to still bring your wallet when you're out and about is not what's up 😂.
Hi thanks for the video. I am going to China this September. I have applied alipay and wechat pay. I dont think i can get my mobile phone online in China. Can I use alipay a d wechat pay without my phone to be online ?
I have to be honest here. In every (other) country I've traveled to, I've used ApplePay on my phone and never had an issue. I don't go out with a wallet. It's the same and maybe even quicker. Also it's almost impossible to link a foreign card to WeChat/ Alipay. If other countries removed the cash option like China did, they would be the same.
I linked my Mastercard (Belgium) to my Alipay account and it doesn’t work to make payments, my boyfriend has the same card and it works for him😢 any advice?
Hi, hoping you the best of all the upcoming. I swung by one of your Videos regarding to living in china, and I'd simply say I like your Videos. Basically, Got a Bachelor's degree in English Studies Linguistics with experience teaching English..and do wonder if you could provide me with any information if are there any vacancies for non-native speakers. have a good day

You can always use cash, it's required for all stores to accept cash. Most shops have change available, but using cash at small vendors might be inconvenient since they may not have change ready. Therefore, it’s often easier for you to use mobile payments.
@@leemingwong5749 you could activate international roaming using our current sim card or rent a portable wifi if you're planning on a short-term visit. for long-term travel, consider purchasing an eSIM card, a prepaid SIM card, or a local SIM card.

every store has to accept cash payment， but it‘s not that convenient like using online paying. But I think credit card acts the same way and its only drawback is not all bills available in time to check on your online bank, coz monthly bills usually.
Wow, Cashless, how convenient instead of digging in your purse/pocket for money. I was visited there in 2012 and my, how forward they are now. US better catch up.
For us in Europe, the economic role model is Germany, which is a society that still loves cash. Estonia is the country that has gone the furthest in Europe when it comes to digital identities and blockchain technology.
Out of curiosity, do you come from a family with a christian background and if you do, does this not startle you that you are paying with your head and hand? Others don't judge I just like hearing peoples thoughts who are living it
0:09 You are wrong. Do your research first. China is not a completely cashless country. Convenience and safe? The answer is yes. Chinese law requires all businesses to accept cash. Whether the stores or vendors are able to give you back exact change is another story.
I never said that cash isn't accepted. I didn't say that China is completely cashless. WHAT I said is: "MAYBE you have HEARD that China is completely cashless...." There is a difference.
OMG three uploads in a week, I see you Aleese!! These guides have been super eye opening
haaaa thanks for noticing!!! I have been busy!
Yes, this makes me happy as well.
It looks so easy to pay. And the food looks amazing!
It's very easy!!

Here I am binging your youtube and IG trying to prepare for my trip. Looking forward to more uploads.
Thanks for sharing, Aleese! Very helpful! Take care & Best Wishes! 😃
happy to be helpful!
I love how you were just casually recording and teaching phrases right in front of the stand😂
The lady who worked there didn't have any other costumers and she was happy to hear me speaking Chinese!
@@AleeseLightyear I’d feel too shy to do that.😂
That is awesome, thanks for sharing. Hope you had fun in Beijing

Missing you beautiful lady, hope all is well. God bless
You make a great video. I love it!
Been a while since you last uploaded, Aleese. Hope you're doing well and having fun in Chengdu!
David from Ireland told me about your channel!
Thanks for checking me out!
We miss you Aleese 😔
Actually, government regulations are that they have to take your cash money, tho. Basically, you could pay with cash, it's simply not that convenient.
Yup! But sometimes they don't have the correct change to give you unless you pay the exact amount in cash
Just found your channel and binge watching your interesting life. It's been 4 months since an upload, hope all is well. Looking forward to new content 😊

man, that sounds like a lot of tracking of people. but very convenient.

@@leslynmoore if you are criminal yes it's a bad thing but if you are like a good citizen you have a future
You are tracked when you use credit card. However, what can government harm you with information about your daily shopping?

How do I set up palm ✋ pay ? Do I need a Chinese bank account ? Is it possible to setup for non residents ? Thx
I think I mentioned in the video, it's only for Chinese bank account holders only

If you’re only visiting Peking on a 14 hour stopover, will my iPhone still work with a cell signal and WiFi?
Aleese, what is the name of the Peking Duck restaurant you went to? Thank you for the great video
Honestly I don't even know. But you can google all the famous ones in Beijing
Most likely Quanjude (全聚德) or Bianyifang (便宜坊).They are both great.I used to live there as well.
Wish it was longer plz make more videos about life in china
😇
@@AleeseLightyear missed you Alice 🥹
How can I load Alipay on my mobile?Make a video about that.
Download it from the app store
Back to Beijing?
Hi thanks for the video. I am going to China this September. I have applied alipay and wechat pay. I dont think i can get my mobile phone online in China. Can I use alipay a d wechat pay without my phone to be online ?
@@tonyfang3700 up
Hi, did u set up Alipay using a chinese number? Can I do it using US number?
The phone number can be international
Hi Alesse
Does Alipay that linked to international VISA debit card work with street vendors in China ?
"Thats wht she said" lol
Will there be any fees if you are a foreigner using wechat or aliepay?
Hi Aleece! What’s your MBTI?
I'm ENFP

Contact customer service on Alipay...it's in English
Wait…I thought you moved from Beijing to chengdu permanently for work…why are you back in Beijing in this video? Or was this filmed before your move?
I did move to Chengdu, just filmed this during a time I went back to Beijing!
be happy, Aleese!

What if i end up in a scam restaurant or bar and they scan me and overcharge me?
Dispute the charge

It would be helpful to show how you actually setup your accounts on an unlocked non-China phone. Otherwise this is just a day in the life.
ok

1:29 omg 20 rmb or 2.5 euro or 2.7 dollars is too much for that small scone. I thought China was cheap.
Alice I miss you how are you doing okay 😊
I think you didn't know about Indian UPI😂
Not sure if this is an urban myth but i heard homeless ppl begging for money will hold up their QR card?!😅
haha oh yeah that's very true - so you can't say you don't have coins because you can scan the QR code
I think they have moved on to Bitcoin and Ethereum now. 🤣🤣
Are you learning chinese?

Depends on what type of card that you use and what country you are from
