I asked a friend to send me angpow. Came through OK but cannot open wallet without China ID and bank account. Ringgit wallet not usable in China.

Phew... Meaning Malaysian bank card is useless?

How about wechat pay?

You can get top up for wechatpay from Yayaka website. Buy whatever amount you need. In order to activate China wallet, yayaka support will help you by sending 1 cent yuan to u via wechat. However it requires you to install Wechat for windows, on your PC, to accept the 1 cent. It's a workaround. Once your wallet is activated you can logout from PC and on your phone wechat app, you will see a new item to switch wallet region... then you can also add your Malaysia credit card. Then Yayaka support will send you the QR codes for u to transfer/topup yuan into your China wallet. Don't rely on credit card although linked already. Try to ensure you have Cash balance in case your credit card transaction doesn't work with certain transactions.

Cisco? Some VPN interfere with WeChat e-payment, must check properly first before using.
There is a list somewhere on which VPN can work well there, can Google first.

Any recent feedback on Hello1010?
I did a search and found couple of positive feedback on Hello1010 but that was back in 2018.

Just want to get reassurance that it is still a good buy before getting it

Not very familiar with APN Settings. I thought no set up is required for the Hello1010 SIM. Guess I'll have to research more on it.

go anywhere in china no need visa for now. but only 15 days

have u tried to use Alipay in Malaysia?

i tried just now but it keeps failing. Is it Malaysians cannot use Alipay in Malaysia?

Anyone tried the RoboTaxi before? How can I get one in ShenZhen

google maps might not be accurate for some locations. my hotel location totally different on google maps compared to actual location. use apple maps if lost from google maps lol.

Guangzhou Yinbingguan, the presidential hotel, doesnt hurt wallet but has historical value and nice decor.

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?

interesting. so there's no need to buy VPN then if using roaming?
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

Anything on dedicated apps, you need China number.
Anything via Alipay mini apps, no need China number.

Also roaming can buy from trip.com. Easy.

Those eSIM are from HK, so of course can access WhatsApp, Facebook etc.

Personally used this (trip.com link) in Hangzhou and Shanghai and worked flawlessly. This is much cheaper compared with Hotlink roaming. I believe is cheaper than other Malaysian telcos too.

btw, if passport left 5 pages, still able to travel to china? expiry date 2027.

Hi all, im planning to go china for a week. Planned to go Yunnan, sichuan that area. Is 1 week enough?

My rough itinerary would be staying 4 days in yunnan and 3 days in chongqing then go chengdu. At yunnnan plan to go lijiang those places. If anyone went there before can share any worthwhile place to go.

I now roaming in Shanghai celcom and it’s real shitty
Didn’t knew why but last year in Guangzhou wasn’t like that

If your phone support e sim
Buy one from trip.com , u go rural area in China still got line , bought it cause my celcom roaming sucks

So does maxis
