05 Payment

Renminbi (RMB) is the only currency accepted in China. We strongly recommend exchanging enough RMB before or upon arrival in China. Currency exchange is available at Chinese airports. You can also exchange currency at local banks, with a daily limit of 500 USD.

Alipay itself is only available to Chinese citizens with a Chinese bank account. However, the app offers a feature called Alipay Tour Pass – a 90-day pass that allows foreigners to use Alipay while in China.

This means you can link your ordinary bank card to the app and use it for dining, shopping, and anywhere else Alipay is accepted in China.

  1. Download the Alipay app (available for Android and iOS).
  2. Sign up with your mobile phone number.
  3. Choose the Alipay International Version and select Tour Pass.
  4. Enter the amount you’d like to initially load.
  5. Add your bank card. If asked for ID information, make sure to enter your ID details exactly as registered with your bank.
  6. Complete the money load process.

Once set up, you can make Alipay payments anywhere in China that accepts it. Simply scan or show your QR code at checkout.

06 Dining and Shopping

All restaurants and stores accept cash (RMB) and Alipay. Some restaurants and stores also accept Visa and Mastercard.
