Mobile payments in China are no longer a barrier for travelers! The Consulate General of China in Dubai hosted an event Friday to help visa applicants navigate the country's cashless ecosystem. 💡 From ordering bubble tea to booking high-speed rail tickets, officials showcased how ‘all you need is a smartphone’ to thrive in China’s tech-savvy society.
Consul General Ou Boqian highlighted that over 170 nationalities have sought visas through Dubai’s center this year. ‘China’s payment scene is evolving faster than a TikTok trend,’ she said, reassuring attendees that options like digital yuan, bank cards, and good old-fashioned cash remain available. 🏦📱
Applicants received ‘Guide to Payment Services in China’ booklets—think of them as cheat codes for avoiding payment panic abroad. The guides break down everything from Alipay setups to QR code etiquette. 🎮✨
With tourism booming post-pandemic, the consulate’s move reflects China’s push to welcome global visitors. As Ou put it: ‘Don’t stress—just scan, sip, and explore!’ 🥤🎉
