Whatsapp will not work well with China local wifi and China network operators. It is best each
and everyone subscribe to Singapore telco data roaming. Advise to continue to use what's app
chat group to communicate day to day itinerary and adhoc changes. When at hotel, try not to
use hotel or China retail store wifi as Google, most non Chinese social medias and whatsApp
will be unstable.
Please note most retail establishments (other than international hotels and Big F&B Places) in
china do not accept foreign credit or debit cards and Retail purchases accepts cash, but
largely they accept Ali pay or Wechat pay. You may download 'Changi' or 'Wechat or 'Alipay'
App and bind your credit / debit card to make payment by scanning their Wechat or Ali pay QR
code. You can also consider binding your 'you trip' or 'Revolut' card as exchange rate is good.
Alternative, make payment with cash RMB with your purchases.
