What do I need to pay in China?

MeTravel AI Assistant

Almost everywhere only takes Alipay or WeChat Pay.

  • Install Alipay before you go and link your Visa/Mastercard in the app.
  • Scan QR codes to pay in shops, taxis and on the metro.
  • Carry a little CNY cash in case the app fails.

Note: payments over 200 CNY with a foreign card may carry a small fee.
