So to summarize:

1. It will not be easy to get a sim card that can be registered using passport? (Not easy as in not every telco shop can sell a sim card for tourist)

2. Malaysia wechatpay and alipay will not be able to use in China. In order to use in RMB denomination, we have to ask someone with RMB wechatpay account to give us RMB angpau. (But in the first place can we register a RMB wechat pay account, or upon the transfer of the RMB angpau we will automatically have a RMB wechat pay account)?

3. Didi (equivalent to our Grabcar) requires us to have a china simcard/phone number to use, in order for the driver to contact us to confirm location etc?

Thank you.
