A game, not a form
The pre-trip chaos becomes a progress bar you clear task by task — calm replaces anxiety.
Visas, mobile payments, the apps that actually work — turned into a simple checklist you clear like a game. Then a 24/7 AI guide rides along in your pocket once you land.
Menus, road signs and order-by-QR are all in Chinese — and the official English translations are rough exactly when you need them most.
Alipay and WeChat Pay run the country. Foreign cards now work, but limits, SMS codes and edge-cases still strand travelers at the counter.
Google Maps is blocked, guides are buried across YouTube and Reddit, and last year's advice is already out of date this year.
Most travelers can simply land and stay 30 days. We check the easy path first — so you don't invent paperwork you never needed.
Point your camera at a Chinese-only menu or a payment screen. You don't just get a translation — you get advice tuned to how foreign travelers actually travel and eat.
Menus, signs, QR order screens — translated, with notes like "this dish is heavy on Sichuan pepper" or "here's the vegetarian pick."
Payment won't go through, can't get past the metro gate, no taxi in sight — ask, and get an answer that works right now.
When AI hits its limit, we hand off to real local advisors — students and residents who actually know the ground truth.
The pre-trip chaos becomes a progress bar you clear task by task — calm replaces anxiety.
No bus-herd tours. AI builds culturally deep, off-the-beaten-path routes — hutong craft beer, low-impact hikes.
We've lived on both sides — overseas and China. We know FIT travelers want local depth and hate assembly-line tours.
Visa rules, payment limits and app changes move fast. We keep the answers fresh so last year's guide can't burn you.
Join the waitlist and we'll send your personal China-Ready Check the moment we open the doors.
