Practical guide

A small China travel app stack

Choose a tool by task, then verify live details in the service itself.

For this Phase 1 stack: Alipay (支付宝) for mobile payment and its Transport → Taxi entry; DiDi/滴滴出行 for ride-hailing; and 铁路12306 / 12306.cn for official rail search and booking. This is task-based orientation, not an availability guarantee.

A clear next step

  1. Install Alipay, DiDi and 12306 from their official channels.
  2. Save destination names in Chinese.
  3. Use each service’s current interface and official information for live details.
