Hey there, world travelers! π§³βοΈ
Guess what? If you’re planning a trip to China, paying for things just got a whole lot easier! π¨π³
What’s New?
China’s super popular payment app, WeChat Pay, is now open for visitors from other countries! That means you can use your own mobile wallet to pay for snacks, souvenirs, and more, just by scanning QR codes. π²
How Does It Work?
If you have certain mobile banking apps like Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking or NAVER Pay, you can scan WeChat QR codes in China to pay. It’s like magic! β¨
Why Is This Cool?
No more worrying about carrying cash or exchanging money. You can pay just like people in China do. Neat, right? π€
But That’s Not All!
China is also making it easier for visitors by extending visa-free transit stays to 10 days! So you can explore more without extra hassle. πΊοΈ
Even More Options
You can also link your credit cards like Visa and Mastercard to apps like WeChat Pay and Alipay. So many ways to pay! π³
Happy Travels! π
