The Chinese Digital Kit
The practical guide to using China as a foreign traveller — payments, connectivity, trains, DiDi, translation and the digital tools you need before you land.
The route tells you where to go. This tells you how to do it.
Travelling independently in China is much easier once the basic digital infrastructure is set up. Payments, internet access, train tickets, ride-hailing, translation and local apps all work differently from what many travellers are used to.
The Chinese Digital Kit puts those practical instructions in one place, so you’re not discovering each problem for the first time after you arrive.
Set it up before you fly. Then get on with the trip.
The problems you don’t want to discover at the airport.
The Digital Kit is designed around the practical friction points that can turn a straightforward independent trip into an unnecessary problem.
9 sections. One practical guide.
Everything is designed to be set up or understood before departure, then used as a quick reference once you’re travelling.
See the troubleshooting playbook first.
One of the Digital Kit’s most practical sections is available free as a standalone quick-reference guide. No purchase required.
The route tells you where. The Digital Kit helps you make it work.
Get the practical China setup alongside the route itself, without paying for it separately.
