Other Apps decisions
Should I book on Trip.com or Booking.com?
Use Trip.com for HSR + flights + Chinese-local hotels; use Booking for international chains and refundable rates.
Do I need a translation app in China?
Yes, install at least Apple Translate or Google Translate with the Chinese offline pack. It's 5 minutes of setup for 100+ daily uses.
Do I need to speak Mandarin to travel in China?
No, you don't need to speak Mandarin — translation apps handle 95% of situations. Learn 5–10 phrases (hello, thank you, numbers) for warmth, not survival.

Will you be in a tier-1 city for most of the trip?
Q4YES
→ Trip.com. Tier-1 coverage (Beijing / Shanghai / Guangzhou / Shenzhen) is the universal baseline — outside it the secondary option often wins.
NO
→ Amap 호텔 예약. If none of the above apply, Amap 호텔 예약 is the safer runner-up for your case.
