## What is ChinaPal?

ChinaPal is the AI travel companion that makes navigating China feel
effortless. Built for first-time visitors, it answers your questions
in plain English with real local context — no app-hopping, no
language barrier, no guesswork.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Ask anything in English — metro routes, taxi vs walk, payment tips,
  how to call a restaurant, what something means on a menu
• Get hand-picked restaurants and attractions across Shanghai, with
  filters for cuisine, vibe, price, and walking distance
• Navigate the metro with clear, turn-by-turn Chinese metro guidance
  that integrates with Amap and Didi
• Use Lens — point your camera at any sign, menu, or QR code for an
  instant explanation in English
• Book restaurants and experiences directly through the app, with
  our team confirming on your behalf

DESIGNED FOR INBOUND TRAVELERS

• 100% in English — no Chinese required
• Works without a Chinese phone number, Alipay, or VPN
• No account needed to use the core features
• Honest curation — only places we'd send a friend to

ChinaPal launches with deep coverage of Shanghai. More cities coming
as our team expands.
