I'm at a noodle shop in Chengdu — how do I actually pay? 😅
They'll want Alipay or WeChat Pay. Your foreign Visa works inside Alipay — open it, tap Scan, point at their QR. Want the 2-minute setup?

What it does

Everything you can't Google about China

China's a walled garden — different apps, different payments, a language barrier. We translate all of it into plain answers.

  • 01

    Pay without a bank account

    Link a foreign Visa or Mastercard to Alipay or WeChat Pay and scan QR almost anywhere — no Chinese bank needed.

  • 02

    Get around like a local

    DiDi in English, high-speed trains where your passport is the ticket, and metros you ride by QR.

  • 03

    Break the language barrier

    Instant two-way translation — type it, get the Chinese characters to show a driver or waiter.

  • 04

    Get the rules right

    Visa-free entry (30 days for the UK, EU, Canada & more in 2026), VPN & eSIM, police registration — answers that cite a source when it matters.

How it works

Three taps to a smoother trip

01

Open the bot

Tap Start in Telegram — no app to install, no account to create.

02

Tell it your trip

Your cities and dates, in a sentence. It remembers as you go.

03

Ask anything

From “how do I pay here?” to “take me to this address” — answered instantly.

Answers come from curated, up-to-date local knowledge — and when a rule changes fast, it tells you to confirm with an official source rather than guessing. A good friend doesn't bluff.
