Important tips: For those who travel to China, especially for first timer, it is important to know about China internet before you come to China.

1. Must-have Apps: In China, people rely on phones heavily. Buy vegetables at markets, diet at restaurants, buy clothes at malls, take buses and taxis, buy tickets at various places …. People pay for everything using their phones. Alipay is necessary for foreign tourists. If you are planning to stay in China for long term then you can consider download a Wechat. Using Alipay, you can pay for everything. And you can also order a cab, reserve train & air tickets, reserve tickets for scenic spots… Some of the services ask for a local phone number. As a foreigner, you are allowed to register Alipay & Wechat with your home phone number, upload your passport and link your credit card. Cash is limited for use and quite inconvenient for Chinese. But still you can pay cash in most of time and it is illeagel to refuse cash in China so dont worry if you dislike Alipay. You have rights to pay by cash.

2. 5G Coverage: China Unicom has deployed much advanced 5G networks. The coverage is quite good in most parts of China.

3. 5G Speed: China Unicom 5G speed is quite fast and more than 10 times of its 4G which shall be phased out gradually.

4. Blocked websites & Apps: In China many foreign social websites & Apps are blocked. Those include Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. It might be crucial for you to use those blocked websites & Apps. To use VPN, you can bypass internet blocking.
