WaysChina: China Travel Guide

Coming to China? WaysChina is built for travelers who don't read 中文. From your visa application to your last subway ride home, WaysChina walks you through every step of a China trip — in your own language, with nothing lost in between. GUIDES THAT ANSWER THE REAL QUESTIONS Visa types and who needs one, payments without a Chinese bank account (Alipay and WeChat Pay with a foreign card), SIM cards and eSIMs, what to pack, what to eat, what not to do — in-depth guides written for first-time visitors and kept up to date. Start at "can I even get in?" and work your way to "what do I order?" EVERY CITY WORTH YOUR TIME Beautifully illustrated guides to the landmarks that earn their place on your itinerary, across every major Chinese city — photos, opening hours, how long to spend, and what's worth doing nearby. PLAN YOUR DAY IN SECONDS Pick a city, say how long you have, and get a walking-and-subway day plan with the stops already in a sensible order. Move things around, save your trips, share them with whoever you're travelling with. GET AROUND WITHOUT SPEAKING CHINESE Tap any two stations and we'll route you through the subway — with last-train warnings so a long dinner never leaves you stranded. High-speed rail stations and airports are built into every map. Open any destination in Apple Maps with one tap, or use "Show driver" to show it in 中文 to a taxi driver. WORKS WHEN YOUR SIGNAL DOESN'T Subway maps, city guides and saved articles all work offline — on the plane, deep in a metro tunnel, or wherever your eSIM quietly gives up. Download what you need before you go. EVERYTHING ELSE YOU'LL NEED • Quick tools: emergency contacts, currency converter, common Chinese phrases, trip checklist • A community of travelers sharing real tips, photos, and questions from across China • Available in your language — English, 日本語, 한국어, Français, Español — with more on the way Made by travelers, for travelers. WaysChina is free — just the kind of companion we wished existed the first time we landed in China. Questions, ideas, or weird bugs? Tap "Send feedback" in the app — a human reads every message.
