FirstTripChina
Practical China travel guide for first-time visitors
Everything you need before your first China trip: 30-day visa-free entry rules, Alipay & WeChat Pay setup, must-have apps, high-speed rail tips, and city guides for Shanghai, Beijing and Xi'an. Free, no signup.
Hi Product Hunt! I live in China, and over the past two years almost every friend who visited me asked the exact same questions: "Can I really enter without a visa?" "How do I set up Alipay? My card keeps getting rejected." "Which apps actually work there?" "How do I book high-speed rail tickets?"
After typing the same long answers into chat windows over and over, I finally sat down and organized everything into a website: FirstTripChina.
It covers the 30-day visa-free entry rules, step-by-step Alipay & WeChat Pay setup, the apps worth installing before you land, high-speed rail and metro basics, plus starter guides for Shanghai, Beijing and Xi'an. I keep the policy pages dated so you can see when each rule was last verified, because visa rules change fast.
Everything is free with no signup. If you're planning a first trip to China, or you spot anything unclear or outdated, I'd genuinely love your feedback. Ask me anything!
finally a no-fluff guide that actually covers the stuff I always stress about, like setting up Alipay before landing. the visa-free breakdown for 30 days is super clear too.
Finally a no-fluff guide that actually covers the stuff I panicked about last minute. The Alipay and WeChat Pay walkthrough alone would've saved me an hour at the airport.
Took a quick look and the Alipay setup walkthrough was clearer than anything I've found on reddit or youtube, especially for someone setting it up from abroad.
This is exactly what I needed before my Shanghai trip next month. The Alipay setup walkthrough alone saved me hours of confusion, and the high-speed rail tips on which app actually works for foreigners are gold.
Love how everything is laid out without forcing a signup. The visa-free entry breakdown alone would have saved me hours of digging before my last trip.
