Internet Data

Normally I will purchase physical Sim card or like currently I will get e-Sim from Hello1010 but because I will going to Japan right after coming back from this China trip, hence I decided just to buy the roaming package from Digi. It allows access to Whatsapp, Google, Facebook and even Youtube too without any restrictions. I always try to compare both Hello1010 and Digi package first, before proceed to purchase any Internet data from any of them.   

As for Internet plan in China, I'm using Digi roaming 

Payment Method In China

The most common question revolve around travelling - cash vs card, which is better? However, not for China as it's currently the global leader in mobile payments, leaving both cash and cards behind. Digital payment apps like AliPay and Wechat have become the preferred way for the local to pay everything, from grabbing a tasty bite on the street to making payment for 5-star hotels. As for Malaysian, you can use TNG e-wallet apps in order to make payment in China. It's super convenient, easy and fast. 

Nevertheless, you still need bring small amount of Chinese Yuan Renminbi along with you, especially in those smaller towns and rural areas where mobile payments are not accepted. 

Remember to download TNG e-wallet apps before travelling to China 

My Travel Haul 

Surprisingly I didn't shop much for this trip. Apart from fridge magnets and postcards, seriously I have no idea what to buy there. 

Fridge magnets are no longer cheap in China. One piece can easily costs RM10 and above

Postcards I got from XingPing Ancient Town and Yangshou West Street
