Best way to pay in China: info for tourists

Posted on:

Navigating payments in China as a tourist can indeed be a bit of a puzzle at first, but don’t worry. You might think that how to pay in China would be obvious, but it’s not that simple. China operates a virtually cashless system using QR code mobile payments. Mobile payments in China use either WeChat Pay or Alipay. This is a similar concept to ApplePay, although you won’t find ApplePay in China.
