🇨🇳 China for 🇰🇿 KZ citizens

Set up mobile payments before you land: Alipay and WeChat Pay are widely used even for small purchases, and both can work with foreign bank cards. Having at least one of them ready can save you from awkward 'cash not accepted' moments.

For taxis, install DiDi: it has an English interface for sign-up/booking and often includes an in-app translator, which makes pickup points and destination communication much easier than flagging cabs on the street.
