Thank you for watching 🫶🏻

I m glad to know u Dian❤

thank you for a great video, you forgot the DIDI/Grab app that is needed, and Ali Pay to pay, however cash also can be used. Also possible use of Esim , can also purchase VPN card for china on line.

Thank you!

Google Translate worked for me a few months ago. I have friends in China so things are pretty easy for me. High energy and a sense of adventure is key. I did get kicked out of a hotel after checking in once. LOL. What exactly is travel insurance?

I was in China last three weeks and used Astrill VPN, which was working ALL THE TIME, even in Xinjiang (Kashgar- Turpan)

i'm going to china in 2 days. last year i tried using nordvpn and express vpn they both didn't work. i am gonna try ur 2 suggestions. do i turn on the vpn before going on the plane? also if i use the vpn but have a chinese sim card does it not work at all?

If I setup my wechat + alipay back in singapore using my local number, can I login and use them when I use the china e-sim? Thanks for the short and concise video btw.

Hi, when using baidu, did you create your account?

Dian is it better to use hotmail or gmail whilst in china and connect with vpn.

I was able to use wechat with a foreign card.

what vpn did u use

Great video, very useful before my trip to China this weekend! 1 question tho, how do I change baidu map to English?

@DianHuang

10 ай бұрын

Unfortunately Baidu Map’s software interface does not permit translations to English. What you can do is type the place you want to go in alphabet or pinyin and it still will show Have fun in China!

It’s hard because i don’t know which app to download. For example, when I type Baidu, I get 2 different apps one is a blue paw with “du” written on it and another with a red pin with “du” also

@DianHuang

The blue paw is the search engine- think of it as google and the red pin one is the baidu map - similar to google maps. Hope this helps ☺️

Are you still in China?

Hello!Which app to use for searching restaurants?Do you have some another app for maps(Baidu doesnt function for me)?

Can to explain more how to set vpn? Does it require to set vpn manually? Or we can just use vpn like normally? Do We just need to activate the vpn right before boarding to china?

The vpn app should give you instructions... Some require downloading/connecting in the phone setting. Some works immediately in the app. Yes, make sure the vpn works before arriving.

Hi! Is it better to use a VPN or an eSIM card for traveling to China?

Hi, next week i will go to china for study. I'm still confused about what VPN to use, I have several VPN options like Express VPN and Astrill VPN. do you have a VPN recommendation for 1 account 3 devices, at a price worth it and have you ever used express vpn in China?
