Exploring Guiyang: How WeChat, Alipay, and China's Top Apps are needed for travel in China

[@neicool9206]

经常在tiktok上看到你的短视频和直播，今天终于在youtube上看到你的长视频了，太棒了。

[@Jasminiag]

Wow, thank you for the support on both platforms! I wish I had done this video earlier 😂

[@GameChanger-cr4hx]

Thanks for explaining Wechat and Alipay ..... very helpful for those wanting to visit China.

[@Jasminiag]

I really hope so! It can be intimidating for new travellers, so I hope this takes that away 😊

[@tomyong8327]

Well done, keep it up 👍

[@Jasminiag]

Thankyou :)

[@yukonzhang3034]

it‘s interesting how you recognize the Chinese characters. As a Chinese native speaker, we learned the same way “ by the 2 point water or 4 point water” in elementary school.😊

[@Jasminiag]

It's funny how the brain works 😅 To be honest, I was learning Japanese a year ago, and that's I was trying to remebemer the hiragana 😊

[@ShenCiel810]

OMG，you visit my home!!!!! Welcome!!!

[@ianollerenshaw2269]

Love it .... Very useful information for me as my next trip in a few weeks I will also be traveling alone 👌

[@voongnz]

Love the walk and talk, you're very natural talking on camera. We used to have these gun, grenade and knives styled candies in NZ back in the day as well, even had cigarette candy for kids and pretty sure they still do lol.

[@Jasminiag]

wow, thankyou so much for the encouragement. I wonder if I'm a bit slow speaking to be honest. hahah Love that about the toys in NZ!

[@williamchow4739]

I'm glad to hear the truth. China like any other countries, have negative and positive side, just tell us the true story. Thank you.

[@Jasminiag]

Every country has negatives and positives.. no country is 100% positive. If there was, we would all be there!

[@stvdmc2011]

great info....I got the look of weird when i was paying everything with cash in China in 2013

[@kenric1460]

Woah, nice cafe, I like all the nick knacks inside, and the cat😸 I really like how it turns into a bar at night. fyi: As an America thats gone camping when I was in the Boy Scouts, I'm fine with China old style toilets. 😁 I find it more sanitary that sitting on a toilet seat used by others (yes, you can always spray it down with a alcohol spray or wipe it down with Purell, but it's more of a hassle then)

[@Jasminiag]

hahaha that is a good way of looking at it!! I do find most public bathrooms have a western toilet, although alot of older establishments like small Cafes and Bars will have these style toilets. It doesn't bother me either. Thankyou for watching, and leaving a positive comment.

[@yoingen]

There are all toilet seats in Chinese shopping malls, which I am not used to because I have mysophobia and am particularly afraid of water splashing on my butt. So I stand on the toilet every time I go to the toilet. Then wipe it clean with paper.

[@JWong-rz3ey]

Actually, the squatting posture provides a natural body posture and is healthier than the sitting one, as it provides for the alignment of the rectum and the anus in a near vertical position. Also it’s good for our legs’ tendons that can stretch out every time when go toilet. 😃

[@willengel2458]

the first sitting toilet/throne was invented by the Egyptians. they have it prominently displayed in the British Loot Museum.

[@huangzongming8226]

You totally figured out how to travel in China. 🤣We use our phones for almost everything and I really think anyone planning a trip to China should check out this video. It will definitely make traveling easier.

[@Jasminiag]

Its not too much different to Tap and Pay in Australia. I feel Alipay and Wechat should be implemented worldwide! Makes life so much easier.

Great job and effort to explain how the most useful tools in China work to the foreigners! And i am curious about how you learn about them. Is there a friend of yours who told you? Or you just work it out by yourself? You are so beautiful and have a nice trip in China!

[@Jasminiag]

HI, Thankyou for the positive comment! Honestly, a combination of research before travelling, advice from Chinese friends, and general life experience and working out things :)

[@idofdm7625]

For some reason you're very soothing to listento to even if my mind was wondering to something else! May be because of your matter of fact positive attitude!

Great video. Will be traveling to China early next year. I have quite a lot Yuan in paper form leftover from my last visit from 10 years ago. Since all transactions are now done using phone apps like AliPay, what can I do with them? Or where can I go to exchange my paper Yuan?

Fantastic video, thanks so much for all the info. As a fellow Aussie hoping to travel to China soon, do you hook up a credit card (I noticed you have Visa card connected?) or should you hook up a debit card? Also, does your Aussie bank charge you any fees per transaction through AliPay or WeChat?

[@Jasminiag]

Thankyou for the positive comment. I don't know much about credit cards, I changed to an ING bank as they have zero international transaction fees and zero ATM fees. All transactional fees are credited into my account the next day. I would suggest contacting you bank and asking them what their relationship is with Wechat and Alipay :)

If you have two phones, you can use another phone's google translate to scan and translate these Chinese into English.

Absolutely 💯 you can also use wechat for this or any translate app. Just make sure the translation app can be used off-line too

[@路飞-o8e]

🤣Battery bank price is expensive, 4yuan/60min. I suggest you can buy one(Airlines stipulate that the rated energy does not exceed 100Wh).

[@Jasminiag]

If i was using them everyday and for longer then an hour this would make sense. I don't use these everyday. I'm also useless at remembering to charge other things, so the chances my battery pack would be charged for an outing is pretty slim lol I would end up just renting. To a tourist, this price is extremely affordable.

[@ionutmarius1001]

Hi, is it possible to register your Revolut card in WeChat or Alipay or do you need a card from a local bank. Thank you in advance

[@Jasminiag]

I am not sure. You would have to contact Revolt and ask them if they partner well with these apps. Make sure whatever bank you use, they do nor have overseas transaction charges. I changed to ING for this reason. All transactional charges are credited back into my account the next day

at least no tipping at "fast food places" yet in America - China is a no tipping culture

Fast food is actually a bit expensive for food. If you go to a local chinese restaurant, the food is a healthier, bigger portion and even more affordable 😊 The food in Australia is also very expensive now 😢

其實很多國家申請電話也要實名的,只是中國很多服務要用手機 (手機號),所覺得所謂"不習慣",而電子錢包更不用說了,只要有錢的功能 全世界都要實名 (某金額),所以不是不是"實名" 令人不習慣,是手機應用! 事實你可以用你自己國家的手機號,在中國用現金
