My 1st trip to china in 10 years +!
Going to Shenzhen in Nov, flying Shenzhen Airways. Read their policy on Cabin luggage is limited to 5kg. Would like to know if they are strict like AA or I keep it under 7kg is fine? And welcome any recommendation to eat and visit there with family. What 's good to buy ? |

The Shenzhen airlines cabin baggage states limit at 5kg.
Anyone with experience flying the airline? Are they strict like AA checking the measurement and weight always? How is the reliability and service with this airline? |

QUOTE(ikttan @ Nov 25 2024, 09:05 AM) Anyone managed to get Didi installed and get passed 'Get Started'? Dont think you can test alipay in MY. tried before it failed. I did use it to pay in Taobao and it worked.Also, how to 'test' the Alipay before reaching China?  DiDi i launched inside Alipay, no issue. used it many times. |

QUOTE(Afterburner1.0 @ Jan 10 2025, 10:51 AM) Bro, Yes i saw DIDI is now in Alipay App, do we still need a china number for it OR i can buy an esim ( data only ) in malaysia and just use it in China to book DIDI? I registered Alipay with malaysia number. Use Apps within Alipay like for Trains (scan payment) and also Didi without having china number. My roaming was Digi. So basically you can use without a need for China number, the negative is if driver see your MY number he wont call you and will also be annoyed if cannot find you. I did not face any real problems, just make sure you have correct pickup point. Having an Esim (data only) doesn't make any difference with MY Sim roaming except cost. It basically gives you internet data access. nothing to do with Call function. I did have other family member using Esim, and Alipay works the same. Note. China telco number/esim you cannot access most social media including whatapps/insta/tictok/google suite. MY roaming sim you can. |

QUOTE(Afterburner1.0 @ Jan 10 2025, 03:10 PM) Yeah i saw that roaming is expensive hence opted for esim (data only) but apps such as didi always asked to register phone number so not too sure if the didi app will be tied to the number that i register..... or it is just a registration process? So basically as long as we have internet connection both alipay and didi can work? Roaming offered by MY telco in China is NOT expensive. Best option. It protects you a little from making and receiving roaming calls.QUOTE(zstan @ Jan 10 2025, 03:27 PM) interesting. so there's no need to buy VPN then if using roaming? I didnt want to try the VPN option as I heard is not reliable. For few ringgit just get roaming and enjoy your holiday. don't understand nowadays why still got got people complaining roaming expensive  it's only RM 58 for a 7 days unlimited pass or RM 98 for 14 days with Celcom/Digi China is so convenient and high tech, everything is in apps. Dont be stingy on roaming , just enjoy. |

QUOTE(Justmua @ Mar 1 2025, 11:15 PM) Friends, is there any way to load up Alipay CNY in Malaysia? Dont think you can preload credit into Alipay for malaysian. Will be travelling to China Hunan province and don't want to carry too much cash. I know can use TnGo Alipay+ in China but I am just exploring if can load up Alipay directly. Also is Wise card any useful in China? How do you all handle your payments? Thank you for your valuable inputs. You can link your Wise card to Alipay. Wise allows you to have multiple digital card, so you can manage it if you want. |
