Hey guys
Heading to China for the first time for Travel/Tourism in Sept for 1 week.
I have some general questions that I can't find answers to online. Can someone with experience please guide me?
Any help much appreciated
- How to get around within each city? (eScooter/Taxi/Public Transport)
I believe you can rent eScooters but what app/payment method do I need?
What about taxis for further distance? I hear Didi is the way to go but I think I only have the Au version available on the play store. Is that the same?
Is public transport easy to manage? What apps do I use? I hear Google maps doesn't really work.
- Money situation
I've created a WeChat but don't think I can register for payments? Or at least I don't know how
Same with Alipay
I've also got a Wise Visa card. Not sure if that'll work.
- Train Travel & Booking (Inter City/Bullet Train)
Where do I book the trains for both Inter City and Bullet and how far in advance do I need to book? I'd like a flexible itinerary so would prefer to book at the time of travel
- Sim Card
I'm flying into Guangzhou. Can I just get a local Sim from the airport? And what about VPN? Or should inget an eSim and therefore no VPN required?
- Any other recommend apps or tips?
Thankyou very much in advance :)
