About
Start with a place. Find a story. Meet someone who shares your curiosity.
Turn a Story into a shared adventure. In accepted chats, share Stories you can both still view, reveal travel answers once you’ve both replied, and draft a private outing. After you both confirm attending, find out when you both say yes to meeting again.
FriendLane China is a community for adults exploring China. Whether you are a local resident, international resident or visitor, discover places and connect through the experiences people choose to share. The interface, official city and place guides, and policy information are available in English, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Russian. Follow your system language or choose one in the app. Member stories and chats stay in their original language; the app does not translate them.
DISCOVER PLACES AND THEIR PEOPLE
Browse city photos, official place stories and community places across China. See how many members have shared stories or an interest in a place, open a compact member list, then view a profile before deciding to connect. These counts show shared activity, not who is physically there now.
SHARE YOUR OWN CHINA STORIES
Write a story with up to four photos and explore images in a full-screen gallery. Stories start as Only me. Choose Friends, Friends & followers, or explicitly share Public at this place so other signed-in international members can discover your experience. Create a personal place card with your own title and summary. Shared stories and public cards are subject to content review.
BUILD YOUR CIRCLE
Follow people whose stories interest you, or send a connection request. Following does not open private chat. Ordinary one-to-one chat starts after the other person accepts your connection request.
CHOOSE YOUR UPDATES
Use the notification inbox for connection requests, message updates and chosen travel reminders. Select which friends or followed members you want updates from, including plans, destination changes and shared stories. Optional iPhone notifications can alert you outside the app after you allow them. The inbox works without push permission; delivery is not guaranteed.
EXPLORE A STORY PHOTO
On an eligible story photo, open the AI explanation, preview the photo and choose whether to send it to DeepSeek for a short English introduction to visible scenery or architecture. Readers need the author's permission and make a separate choice for each request. Results can be uncertain or wrong. Browsing or sharing a photo does not send an AI request. Photo explanations do not analyze video or identify people.
MAKE PLANS TOGETHER
Keep a plan private or publish a summary for others to express interest. Accepting a plan request opens a conversation for that plan. Discuss the meeting place, time and costs, then both confirm the current version. Changes require a new confirmation. Plans are arrangements between members, not bookings or payments.
BROWSE NEARBY ON YOUR TERMS
In supported cities, explore an illustrated map of approximate areas and members who have chosen to appear. Nearby sharing and online visibility are optional and off by default. The map does not show anyone's live or precise location.
STAY IN CONTROL
Manage your sharing choices, unfollow or remove followers, block or report a member, and contact support through private in-app feedback. A public place story can be made private again; copies already saved by others cannot be recalled.
For adults aged 18 and over. Designed for friendship and shared activities, not dating. Free to download, with no in-app purchases.
Operated by UNIKIRIN LIMITED.
Support: contact@airuizhu.cn
Share a photo with an optional caption or record a voice message up to 60 seconds in an authorized chat. Preview or listen first, then tap Send to upload. Chat media is not sent for AI processing or transcription; voice messages are not live calls.
