If you plan to stay for long term, I would suggest to go with China mobile 39RMB/month or 59RMB/month plan which gives you unlimited text and calls and 5G data or 10G data respectively. If the airport can’t give you these plans you can try to go into a phone store in the city you are staying. I personally chose China Mobile (CMCC).

But if Diddi is already included in the alipay app, then I should be able to pay via my smart phone with the German phone number? Thank you very much for providing the answers!! Additionally, I plan to use the tour card on the Alipay app. To top up some money in case the standard alipay payement procedere does not work.

Is it worth buying an eSIM e.g. Airalo?

I'm not sure mate, I have never used one before.

eSIM works for data, but you will not have a local phone number, which limits some things you can do.

Chinese seniors citizens don’t follow young generation about new technology.

To be honest, they've been completely cut out of society nowadays. Pretty sad.

All Chinese citizens young and old use Weixin, the Chinese version of WeChat.

hi, i will be traveling to China soon. just curious to know when link my Visa card to Alipay, it depends on the day's exchange rate or in Chinese yuan in the statement?

@@janesheng7517 Hi Jane, it works on daily exchange rate. There is an exchange rate button at the Home Screen of Alipay, it shows you the rates.
