Hi All,

What epayment app do you recommend for China? Seems to be Alipay, Tencen (WeChat) or UnionPay, however I've read elsewhere that you need a China-based bank card to "connect" to your account before payments can be made. Is this true?

If anyone has successfully got an app and made payments, please share your experience here. Including ease of use, any security concerns, and language barrier (within the app itself, ie are all the screens and messages in English?)

I'll be using a Samsung phone, so Android app.

Thanks very much.

@Avantasia

How did you use cards for public transport? Were local taxis, buses, DiDi, bus and train stations OK for foreign VISA?
