Good to know before you go
The currency is the Chinese yuan (renminbi), and mobile payment apps dominate, so check what cards or cash options work for you in advance. Getting around is easy: the subway is vast, cheap, and signposted in English, making it far better than driving through the traffic, while the DiDi app and metered taxis fill the gaps. Many foreign websites and apps are restricted, so plan communication and navigation tools ahead, and note that visas are typically required.
