With Trump and Silicon Valley's biggest names landing in China this week, one thing became clear fast: your usual apps don't work there. Going to China? Find Chinese alternatives to Google, WhatsApp, Uber, Instagram and 50+ apps. WeChat, Alipay, DiDi, Amap — step-by-step setup guides for international users.
👋 Hey Product Hunt community!
I’m the maker of Go2China.
A while ago, I saw too many foreign travelers getting completely overwhelmed by the "digital wall" when landing in China—blocked apps, rejected foreign cards, and airport Wi-Fi login traps. The internet is filled with bloated travel guides, but most of them are just fronting for VPN affiliate sales or hotel bookings.
I wanted to build something pure, fast, and fiercely non-toxic. So I locked myself in a room and engineered Go2China.app with a strict Indie-Hacker philosophy:
🛡️ 100% Client-Side: No databases, no user accounts. Your data never leaves your browser’s localStorage.
⚡ Reactive Pruning: The 5-step checklist dynamically tailors itself based on the 4 core kits you toggle on the hero screen.
📸 Canvas SOS Pack: Since network failure is a real threat at airport terminals, the site uses pure frontend Canvas to generate 5 dark-mode, lock-screen-ready text flashcards. Download them to your相册, and you can communicate with local drivers or cashiers 100% offline.
Whether you're an absolute first-timer or a returning expat looking for advanced local alternatives (like 12306 or DeepL offline), this dashboard adapts to you.
It's completely free, tracker-free, and ad-free. I’d love to hear your feedback, technical critiques, or feature requests! Let’s chat in the comments! 🤖👇
