YouChina is a practical entry-readiness guide for international travelers going to mainland China. It helps you decide what to set up before arrival: visa-free and transit eligibility, eSIM vs VPN, Alipay/WeChat Pay, Google Maps alternatives, essential China apps, and airport-to-city routes. Built as a source-bound, multilingual travel utility rather than a tour marketplace.

Hi Product Hunt - I built YouChina because a China trip has a strange setup problem: the hard parts happen before you land. Visa-free rules, transit eligibility, eSIM routing, Alipay/WeChat Pay, maps, airport transfer choices, and app access are scattered across official sites and outdated blog posts. YouChina turns that into a practical entry stack: - Visa-free and transit checks - eSIM, VPN, and payment setup guides - Airport-to-city routes - App and map compatibility notes - Six languages to start: English, French, Japanese, German, Spanish, and Korean The site is intentionally source-bound and not a tour marketplace. I am looking for feedback from people who recently traveled to China or help others plan China trips: what is still confusing before arrival, and what tool should we build next?

One thing that would make this way more useful for me is a live eSIM provider comparison with current data prices, since those costs change often and it would save a lot of research before the trip.

would love to see a printable airport arrival checklist based on your flight and entry city, covering which apps to have screenshotted, how much local cash to pull, and the exact metro vs taxi decision at that specific terminal.
