在中國旅行
先把這幾件事想明白

可以，但需要工具配合。一線城市的地鐵、機場、大型景區有英文標識；高德地圖支持英文界面與英文搜索部分 POI；12306 官方 App 有英文版；滴滴也有英文界面。

Yes, with the right tools. Metro systems, airports and major sights in big cities carry English signage; Amap has an English interface and partial English POI search; the 12306 app has an English version; DiDi does too.

真正會卡住的是「掃碼後的中文小程序」。建議：把酒店和目的地的中文名截圖保存，需要問路時直接給路人看；下載一個離線翻譯 App（微信自帶的翻譯、百度翻譯都夠用）；學會「這裏」「多少錢」「可以掃碼嗎」這三句。

The real blocker is the Chinese-only mini-program behind a QR code. Screenshot your hotel and destination names in Chinese and show them to people; install an offline translator (WeChat's built-in translate and Baidu Translate both work); learn three phrases: "here", "how much", "can I scan?".

不是必須，但有會方便很多。註冊 12306、滴滴、共享單車、部分景點預約都需要接收短信驗證碼，境外號碼多數可以收到，但偶爾會被攔截。

Not required, but much easier. Registering for 12306, DiDi, bike share and some attractions needs SMS codes; foreign numbers usually receive them but occasionally get blocked.

折中方案：保留境外號收驗證碼 + 落地買一張中國流量卡或開通境外 eSIM 上網。聯通、移動、電信在機場都有櫃檯，帶護照即可辦理。

A good compromise: keep your home number for SMS codes and add a travel eSIM for data, or buy a Chinese data SIM on arrival. China Unicom, Mobile and Telecom all have airport counters — passport is enough.

在未接入國際網絡的普通網絡環境下，這些服務無法直接訪問。請通過你所在運營商的國際漫遊 / 境外 eSIM 等合規渠道解決，並遵守當地法律法規與網絡管理規定。

On a standard domestic connection these services aren't directly reachable. Use your home carrier's roaming or a travel eSIM — whichever you choose, follow local laws and regulations on network use.

能順暢使用的是：微信、支付寶、高德地圖、百度地圖、12306、滴滴、大衆點評、美團、攜程、飛豬、小紅書等本地服務。

What works smoothly: WeChat, Alipay, Amap, Baidu Maps, 12306, DiDi, Dianping, Meituan, Trip.com, Fliggy and Xiaohongshu.

法定貨幣，商家不得拒收現金，但實際生活中掃碼是絕對主流。建議帶相當於 500–1000 元人民幣的現金作兜底，主要用於：路邊小攤、寺廟香火、景區小門票、共享單車押金、網絡故障時的應急。

Cash is legal tender and merchants can't refuse it, but scanning dominates daily life. Carry ¥500–1000 as a fallback: street stalls, temple donations, small attraction tickets, bike deposits, network outages.

大額現金可在銀行的 ATM 用境外卡直接取現（走銀聯 / Visa / Mastercard 網絡），機場與商圈 ATM 密度很高。

For more cash, withdraw at a bank ATM with your foreign card (UnionPay / Visa / Mastercard). ATMs are everywhere in airports and shopping districts.

入住酒店必須出示護照原件並做登記；務必確認酒店可接待外賓（有涉外資質的酒店才能登記境外護照）。住朋友家或民宿時，按規定需到屬地派出所辦理住宿登記，酒店一般會代辦，民宿房東也可能協助——自行住宿請主動詢問。

Hotels must scan your passport at check-in — always confirm the property can accept foreign guests. If you stay with friends or in a homestay, regulations require registration with the local police station; hotels handle this for you, and many hosts will help. If in doubt, ask.

第一次建議 8–12 天，走「北京（4 天）→ 高鐵 → 上海（3 天）→ 飛/高鐵 → 西安或成都（3 天）」這條線，三種中國面貌各看一遍，高鐵把城市串起來也就 4–6 小時。

Plan 8–12 days for a first trip: Beijing (4) → high-speed rail → Shanghai (3) → flight or rail → Xi'an or Chengdu (3). Three very different Chinas, and the rail legs are only 4–6 hours.

如果只有 5 天，就只選一座城市 + 周邊，不要貪多。中國太大，跨省移動本身就要花掉一整天。

With only 5 days, pick one city plus its surroundings. China is huge — moving between provinces eats a full day.
