@ivanfioravanti Download Meituan for delivery of food, groceries and medicines within 30 mins. If your stomach couldn't handle spicy cuisine at Chongqing and need to buy some hydrotalcite in late night, you will definitely need it.
@ivanfioravanti Hangzhou plus Shanghai for 8 nights? Might add Suzhou and Shaoxing into this 8 nights coz they are all close to each other, 1hr by train.
@dreams_asi@RnaudBertrand a local AI app, doubao could help you with its camera mode, it can watch for you through your camera and answer your question. but it could only be downloaded at Chinese appstore
@RnaudBertrand 美连美超市, the name of this chain supermarket is a big one, there are many in beijing as well. but the way they handle grocery and fruits in this store, really remind me my first trip to Kashgar 20 years ago. every store on the street put everything they sell so organized.
There's an AI translator that works inside China with zero VPN.
It understands medical context — not just word-for-word. Describe symptoms in English, it outputs clean clinical Chinese.
Most travel guides haven't caught up. It's free. Deepseek.
¥50.
That's what it costs to see a specialist at a top-tier Chinese public hospital — if you know which floor to walk into.
Same doctor. Same CT scanner. Same pharmacy.
The foreigners who pay ¥1,200? They walked into a different door on the same building.

The 18-Digit Dilemma: Local medical WeChat Mini-Programs and registration algorithms are strictly hard-coded for mainland Chinese ID cards. Your international passport will routinely trigger system crashes or endless verification loops. #ChinaTravel#Tech
99% of foreign tourists run straight to private expat clinics and get hit with a $500 bill just for a consultation. As a researcher tracking local healthcare data, my advice: bypass them. Look for Tier-3 Class A (三甲) public hospitals. They hold the elite specialists.
@RTSG_News As a researcher on China’s healthcare system, this is accurate. Chinese hospitals are far more efficient than Western ones. Top doctors are hard to book, but with the right know-how, you can get excellent care at a fraction of the cost. The value is unmatched.

@vox_dev The meds are super cheap, but they don't work as well as the imported stuff. So for serious conditions, patients still try every way possible to get the imported drugs.
