I'd like to purchase tickets through Trip.com app, but every time I try to pay using my CCB card, it gets rejected automatically. This is something I need to enable, apparently.

I KNOW there's a way to do this, as I found the screen once before... but I can't remember how to get there. Bank personnel were 0 help. Any ideas?

Just curious if anyone has any restaurant recommendations in Tianjin. Not necessarily just good food, but I'd be interested to know where I can find good authentic food representing the various cuisines of China. For example, is there an authentic Liaoning restaurant? Shanxi? Henan? etc etc

Hello Everyone,

I'm 31 and would like to move to China for 1 year from Canada.

I've done some research on my own, but I need some help from people with recent experience.

I have a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, and I've been working as a soccer coach for a few years now at the university varsity level, but also for development ages from 6-16 years old.

I've also been working as a substitute teacher in public schools for about a year now.

I've started my UEFA coaching licenses, and I'm a native English speaker; however, I don’t speak any Chinese.

I also have a 35kg Belgian Malinois, which I see is banned in most Chinese cities. I have the option to leave my dog with a family member (worst-case scenario)

I want to move because I see competitive salaries, and I've always wanted to live in China for a bit.

I plan to work as a gym teacher in an international school and, in the afternoons, find a job as a coach at a local soccer club.

I'm currently looking for jobs at eChinacities.com. Are there any alternatives to this website?

The pay I'm seeing for teachers ranges from 2.5k-5k USD per month. I'm looking for something closer to 4k USD and above.

Is this realistic? Any recommendations or advice from people in China or people who have done something similar are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm going to Cambodia for 7 days and Vietnam for 15 days in November. I'm flying with Xiamen Airlines. The carry-on size limit is 50x40x20.

I was planning to bring a 40L carry-on backpack—either the Decathlon Forclaz Backpack or the Osprey Farview—but they're too thick, especially the Decathlon one.

Do you know if any of these bags will work, or do you have any other recommendations? Otherwise, I think I’ll have to check a bag...

Thanks for your help

My parents will be visiting from the States in a few months. Step-mom is celiac (upset-stomach kind, not anaphylaxis.) From research, I have gathered the following:

• this is gonna be tough
• biggest contaminant risk is sauce thickeners
• most of the trip, thankfully, will be in areas that bode well for finding clearly-labelled GF food and restaurants (Shanghai and Beijing)
• allergen cards are a nice thought but can't be relied on

Tips/reccs/best practices/horror stories/etc. all welcome.

Yoo, guys! Does anyone here have experience with Tsinghua University under Non-Degree undergraduate exchange? Please message me or comment in the chat. If someone has, I really need help with the course selection, since the course catalog is not published yet. I am saying this since I am in my application period. I will give more details privately!

I received a refund for a flight ticket into my Alipay account, but I can’t withdraw the money because I don’t have a Chinese bank card.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is there a legitimate way to transfer the balance to an international bank account or get the money refunded through another method?

I’m not based in China, so getting a Chinese bank card isn’t really an option for me.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm a 33 female with a Master degree in Biochemical engineering from Belgium and have a TEFL.
I have a bit of teaching experience (around 2y in total), I taught biology and chemistry in high school as well as French and English.

I know its hard to get an ESL teaching job as a non native, so I was targeting universities (since they have lower salaries) and public and private school for subject teaching (bio and chem) (even French teaching jobs but they seem non existent).

I have talked to a few recruiters and they all ask me if I can take off my hijab which is a no for me to which they reply that they can't find me a role and I'm just losing hope and starting to think if I should continue applying or just give up? I really dont mind the city or the type of school at this point
Any hijabis who landed a teaching job in China ? Any tips or cities/schools that are open to it?

I know one hijabi woman who teaches electronics at a prestigious university but she's doing a PhD there so I think thats an exception.

I studied in Hangzhou 浙大 myself last year and I never felt any issue regarding my headscarf while living there.

Thanks for your insights !

I just downloaded Duolingo in China and soon figured out I can’t follow or be followed by anyone outside of China. But can you follow people within China? It looks like you need to put in their exact user name but even then the app doesn’t find anyone. Also I’m told there’s a button to see the feed of your friends achievements, but I can’t find it. Do you need friends before it appears? Or is the feed and following people just not a thing for mainland accounts?

Built a new PC all good so far except when I’m using my VPN to install things like Steam for example the Mbps on Astril will start off at 20-40 mbps per second and downloads fast then suddenly drops to less than 1.0mbps per second then it’ll switch off the install or update will get an error. Now it’s downloading exceptionally slow! Help now it’s showing this message!!!

Hi! I've been looking for a specific 3D printable mount for my GEPRC Vapor X5 drone, and I finally found exactly what I needed on MakerWorld China.

Unfortunately, I can't download it because the Chinese version requires an account, and I can't register without a Chinese phone number.

Would anyone with a MakerWorld China account be willing to download the STL or 3MF file for me?

I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!

Yesterday after playing badminton with some of my new friends we went out for dinner and drinks and I had trouble arranging a car for the next morning, and it was like an intercity 100 rmb on the green app 300 rmb on didi type car. He arranged one and this morning a very nice car comes to pick me up that I guarantee cost a bit of money. I am taking them to dinner on Saturday although he insists he treats me I'm planning on secretly getting the bill, but I don't know if I should send him a red packet on Whatsapp? He insisted on no repayment. He is also probably in his fourties and I am in my twenties if the age dynamic plays a role in the etiquette I should use.

Any insight appreciated, I hate being indebted to non banks but I don't want to seem transactional either.

My mother in law helped me ask CITIC and they told her I need 500k to 1m RMB in my account to get a credit card.

Is there another way? I cut my banking ties with my home country for tax / capital gains reasons and I’d like to use a get a new Mastercard.

I’m between HK and mainland and I need to spend lots of money per month for work which I mostly get reimbursed for, so I’d like to capitalize on the points.

just wondering

edit: i get the irony about the flair okay

My mom sent me a surprise package from the USA, and its been MIA for 2 weeks.

I have a very large jewelry collection, most of which I left in the US when I moved to China. I haven't been back to the US since moving, but figured I would get it the next time I went back to visit. For my birthday, my mom sent me a package with all my jewelry through USPS. Didn't ask me, just did it. Tracking shows it arrived in China October 1st... and its just been sitting in customs, with no updates, for 2 weeks.

The thing is, that collection had a lot of gold, silver, precious stones, and heirlooms from my grandmother, great aunt and great grandmother. I can't get any updates about it from USPS, and my mother only had it insured for $200, when realistically its probably worth at least $3k, or more. What is the likelihood that I ever see my very valuable and sentimental collection of jewelry again?

Has China caught up to a better standard or best to do this procedure in Turkey?

I am finally making the move at the end of this year.

I need some advice for relocating from the UK to China.

Could someone with experience please give me some pointers?

1) When you left UK, which platform did you find with most success for getting rid of your second hand items before leaving the UK? Currently I am thinking of using Facebook marketplace and Nextdoor.

2) Which International moving service did you use? Currently I am thinking of using Seven Seas, and wondering what others might have used.

Are there any foreigners studying or working in Jinan? Preferably girls, let's go shopping, eating, and having fun together on weekends.I'm Chinese girl,I work in jinan.:)

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m currently living in Yantai, Shandong, and I’m looking to make some friends, especially other international students or exchange students living in Yantai or nearby! 🌏💗
I’d love to meet people to hang out with, grab coffee, explore new places, go shopping, or just have fun together. If you’re also looking to make new friends, feel free to message me! 🫶🏻

I've set up a new vpn and I want some real feedback. Even if I'm in China, I know that VPN's sometimes stop working with different regions and different carriers, so I want some feedback to be able to develop a more reliable service in the future.

If you want to participate in a free test, please send me a DM and I will provide you with links and credentials (for free)

I specially want to get feedback, so if you just want a free VPN please don't contact me, there are plenty of other options!

Its a VPN using vless + hysteria2, with special servers with some premium routes to avoid congestion in peak hours (when normal VPN's start to fail)

Edit: Some context, since people are (rightly) skeptical. I’m a dev living near Beijing, and over the last few months I’ve had a lot of trouble with VPNs that actually work. I’ve used Mullvad and Astrill, but both struggle in peak hours, and Astrill is pretty expensive for me. So I built my own.

No email or personal info needed: you get a random account number, nothing else. I don’t log your traffic or browsing, only aggregate connection stats (does it connect, latency, which carrier/city) so I can see what works where. In return I’d ask for a short report: city, carrier (Mobile/Unicom/Telecom), time of day, works / doesn’t work.
