- We take you through the process of setting up a WeChat & AliPay account with foreign credit cards to use in Mainland China. In the video DJ has a go at setting up the accounts in Hong Kong, then crosses the border to shop, use the subway and take a didi car.

Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to do all the experiments! You are tremendously helpful to the visitors to China.
Very practical information for travelers. Short & to the point. Thank you!
You're THE man.
Thanks so much!!!
This is so helpful!!!! Thank you so much!
Very helpful indeed! Should share this with all foreign visitors!
So i can just add my Capital One credit card (master card in America) to ali pay and use the scan system and I'm good to go?
Hi friend! If i understand well, i can choose how i want to pay via Alipay: by scanning or show and put my payment code, right ?
I think once Alipay is bound to the bank card and authenticated, it can handle 90% of consumption scenarios.
Yes for most things you are right but we made this video for our ski series and there we found a number of services that worked only on WeChat.
thank you somuch!
So you recommended Alipay to make payments and WeChat to communicate with people.
I was able to link a Hong Kong credit card to WeChat but not a U.K. credit card. A U.K. friend also tried two weeks ago and was not able to get his U.K. cards to link with WeChat but did manage to use Alipay. I guess things may change over time.
What's your suggestion on getting internet on your phone during a day trip to Shenzhen?
If you are in Hong Kong then check with your mobile provider if they have a mainland package included or can be bought. This will normally give you the best option.
@@DJClark Thanks for taking time to go through all the processes for installing and using the Apps. How do I get Chinese internet data while I am in the UK so that I can be ease as soon as I arrive in a Chinese airport? Cheers!
@@LeHa-ct9ds That's a difficult one, you can check to see if your mobile company in the UK has a China plan, if that looks expensive then I suggest getting a sim card at the airport as you arrive. They normally help you install it. Otherwise you will need to go find a mobile shop after you settle down, but in my experience this can use a lot of time as you need to register your passport etc.
Hi, but couldn’t you use credit cards to pay?
@@casalist5426 I spent two weeks recently traveling in China with a friend from the UK. He tried to use credit cards when he could but they only worked in about 25% of cases, mainly for the bigger chains or hotels.
Hi, must we get a local simcard to get the metro QR code? because I tried to fill in my homecountry phone no as I’m planning to use roaming but It did not accept that
Possibly, I too had a problem getting the Beijing Metro card two weeks ago, but could buy a ticket easily.
Did you use your own country sim card to book didi? Or china sim card?@@DJClark

You can use you local sim if you have a data plan but the didi driver won't call you if he/she can't find you. Normally it is not an issue as you can text as well.
Nice. Thx
Thank you for watching
Pretty poor instructions. Don't skip steps.
