China has always been the most racist, xenophobic country on the planet. By far, really.

They were so fucking xenophobic, to the point of being suicidally so, that they managed to piss off the entirety of every other great power enough to get them all to team up and invade them at the turn of the century.

China's hostility towards foreign travelers is precisely what makes it a breath of fresh air. It's what traveling in Asia used to be 20 years ago. Go outside of the 1st and 2nd tier cities and you're guaranteed to be the only laowai for hundreds of miles.
No Beckies, no Jeets, no boomers. In the smaller cities you'll still be approached by people who want a picture with you. Speak even semi-comprehensible Chinese and they drown you in praise.

Traveling in China is hard and should remain that way, it filters out the worst kinds of tourists and rewards those who put in the effort with authenticity. You've got literally the entire rest of east asia and most of SEA for babymode mass tourism.';

OP here. Let me elaborate. I was there for a week as a prolonged stopover on my way to Japan.
1) As soon as I leave the airport, I try to get a SIM card with internet but they tell me that those are available only for people that have a Chinese ID or are staying in China for a longer period of time and there's nothing for short-term tourists like me. Great. so I got no navigation on my phone whatsoever and I can't message people I meet while I'm outside.
I ended up using a local woman's sim card after I promised I wouldn't open banned websites or post anything controversial with it.

2) on day number 2, I tried to book a train ticket from Shanghai to Hangzhou online but it didn't work out because the app asked me to give me my Chinese ID number which I did not have and they didn't take foreign passport numbers. I can't pay with Wechat pay anyway so it wouldn't work even if I tried to get around it

3) The internet blocks got harder to get around than they were 8 years ago last time I was here. I know I am breaking the law but it sucks nonetheless that I took 2 minutes to upload a 2MB image.

4) Lots of hotels are hostels on booking.com clearly stated "Chinese citizens only" and were unavailable to foreigners. what's the deal with that?

5) Wechat pay is useful and all but I can't get mine to work properly and there were times I couldn't buy shit because the machines wouldn't take cash just as I wrote on OP.


Don't get me wrong, overall I had a good time in China. People are very friendly are there are lots of things to do

Only some hotels will bother with getting the necessary paperwork to be allowed to do registrations for people without a Chinese ID.
At least in 2018, you could still stay at these places provided you registered at the local police station first, but it was much easier to just stay in a more upscale place catering to foreigners..

Alipay should be able to work without bank verification. When I visited last summer I was able to link my debit card to it and get it working immediately. Wechat is the real PITA to get verified, to the point that I'd say it's not even worth doing at all. Thankfully most places accept both, so you should be fine.

'When I was a teenager, I went to China from Siberia (I'm American; was a lot more adventurous then). I went on the Trans-Manchurian Railway. Sat on the train for 16 hours at the border. As soon as I got into China, everything became shrouded in a gray fog with cheap LED lights and guards everywhere. Finally stepped off the train in Beijing and it was chaos from the moment I step foot there. Got bombarded with Chinese people trying to sell me cheap trinkets and the women grabbing my blonde curly hair and taking pics with me like I was a celebrity, or perhaps a zoo animal. I guess it's all perspective. The international youth hostel where I stayed for a couple day just gave off the same vibe as a Chinese buffet in a half-abandoned outlet mall in bumfuck Pennsylvania. I'd always see random pillars of black smoke in the distance wondering what was on fire. I realized the fog I entered from Russia was actually smog and it was so much worse in the city to the point where I could not see 2 feet in front of me. With my cheap digital camera (no smartphones yet) all I got was blankets of gray shitty pics. Went to Tianenmen Square and there was a huge hammer and sickle commemorating some sort of anniversary of communism. I did see the meme photo of the billboard depicting nature in the midst of a bleak, polluted commie abyss. The bombardment was far worse in the square, I gave in and bought some things so they would go away but it was a huge mistake. I gradually became more assertive but was bad at haggling. I will never forget the Chairman Mao watch I bought that immediately fell apart as soon as the guy put it in my hand. I'll also never forget "Game Yob" which was supposed to be a bootleg Game Boy but it was really just a shitty version of Sonic the Hedgehog except it was one screen and just collecting falling rings from the sky.

>What did they learn from that? Humility? No, ever since they've seethed and plotted revenge against the foreign devils that humiliated them.
They are seething because America has deliberately protected the Japanese whom, to this day, still deny the atrocities they have commited in China as well as the west actively siding with a losing Chang Kai Chek all the way.

On the other hand, they did learn humility since they used capitalism, globalism and market forces against the USA by systematically positioning themselves as the cheaper option, raking all the money and humanitarian aid they could get.

I discovered Qiangang yesterday and had a good wonder. This neighbourhood isn't in any guide online, I think a great deal of stuff aren't mentioned because these people don't know much other that the main tourist attractions anyone can find out in a second.';

This is a propaganda post made by our counterrevolutionary enemies to corrupt the political integrity of our community and undermine the leadership of our party. Anyone found engaging with this user will be charged with spreading anti-communist sentiment and dealt with accordingly. We must be vigilant of the politically wavering in these trying times. It is our revolutionary duty as followers of the Chinese Communist Party to sniff out those who sow the seeds of counterrevolutionary thought. It could be your neighbour. It could be your children. It could be your parents. The revolution must never end, your faith must never waiver.';

i was in shanghai for a 2 day transit a week ago. literally just buy an esim so you can access all your apps. install alipay and attach your credit card and you can pay basically everywhere with your qr code. the only retarded thing was not being able to book taxis so i was stuck with using the metro system.';

You zogbots have been saying this for 20 years, any day now right? 2 more weeks?

You can order rides on Didi in Alipay.';

'>>2648045
Not anon, but how do youtpdkx book for it?';

'>>2648281
On the home screen on Alipay just click Didi and book it like an Uber. Choose pickup and location and select from a choice of nearby cars, in a big city a car is always less than 10 minutes away. You either pay in advance or pay with Alipay at the end depending on whether it's a casual driver or official taxi.';

Fucking hell I wish I had spoken to you sooner, I spent hours trying to book a taxi for an airport drop off and nobody would help me, then I had to pay someone 200 RMB to do it for me in the end, otherwise I'd have been stuck in Chongqing';

'>>2649844
Relatable, if it makes you feel any better... I KNEW about alipay and didi and still fucked it because Chengdu airport had about 270 pick up points and as soon as I left the airport my wifi cut out and couldn't track where they were stopping off.';

'Not reading this dumb thread

Get airalo for sim
Get trip.com for train
Get vpn for google

I did all this without wechat, which is not hard to set up you just need an sms verification which is hard when traveling. Once I had this figured out I found China to be really awesome even when speaking no Chinese. Leave Beijing and Shanghai. Without wepay I just waived cash in cabbies’ faces and they always took it.

If you want everything to work exactly as you expect it to, stay home';

They will never let Johnny Somali enter the country. The Ministry of Public Security will stop that.

The reason they would never let him in is because after he pulled his public nuisance stunt the punishment they would like to enact on him would be too diplomatically harsh. It's easier to just never let him enter the country.';

Foreign or Chinese. I have a gym but there's only a few white guys there and the rest are Chinese and everyone is very quiet and reserved. I looked on Wechat but couldn't find anything because my Chinese skills are incredibly basic and I get by using a translator app.';
