中國大陸自助旅行全攻略｜Things you need to know and have when travelling in China
這篇要教大家如何在中國當一個專業的觀光客XD 介紹一些一定要下載的手機APP和必帶的東西~
Wanna be a professional tourist in China? Here are things you need to have and bring.
1. 翻牆神器 VPN !!!!
如果在中國想要打卡、發IG、google一下行程啦，你絕對會需要多個VPN APPs
If you want to share your travelling moments on Instagram or snapchat, you definitely need VPN apps in China.
校內連線的VPN是最保險的，沒有廣告也沒有流量限制。
台大可以下載pulse secure的APP，電腦手機都有，在計中網站上有設定的教學。

我個人覺得還蠻穩定，網速也蠻快的~
It’s best to have your school’s own VPN, which is free, without ads and unlimited. If you have a NTU mail account, you can download “pulse secure” and follow the instructions to install.
坊間的APP我用過VPN master和Super VPN，前者很穩定還蠻推薦的，後者連線比較慢。
這兩個的好處就是點一個鍵就可以連線了，不像台大的VPN還要輸入計中帳號
Other apps like VPN master and Super VPN are also available. The former has a better quality, while the latter runs a bit slow and sometimes not working.
建議要多下載幾個VPN以防萬一，如果只有一個VPN而它又剛好當掉時，你連google play都開不了，
完全無法在大陸下載另一個VPN補救，悽悽慘慘戚戚。
Better to download more than one VPN, in case the one you have is out of service or you’ve used all the data - in these situations, you can’t even open google play to download a new one, which is definitely disastrous.
2. 微信或支付寶/ WeChat or Alipay
在中國，電子支付很盛行，如果不想要看起來那麼觀光客(用現金)，那這兩個是必需品XDD
但這不是重點，重點是！
因為用現金的人太少了，常常給現金是找不開的。不只路邊的小攤販可能沒有現金可以找，有一次甚至我買星巴克也找不開！
因為用現金的人太少了，常常給現金是找不開的。不只路邊的小攤販可能沒有現金可以找，有一次甚至我買星巴克也找不開！
所以建議還是下載其中一個比較保險。
Mobile Payment is very common in China, to an extend that there're no enough cash in the shops. Once in Starbucks, they couldn't make a change for me :P
So you had better to have either WeChat or Alipay in your phone.
下載後要使用收付款功能，要先經過身分驗證或綁定銀行帳戶
但不知道是常態還是特例，總之我的微信不能綁台灣的銀行帳戶，所以完全不能使用錢包功能，連別人轉錢給我都不能用
支付寶則是可以刷臉進行身分驗證，然後可以請中國的朋友轉錢到你的app上，就可以使用了
另外還有一個好處就是這兩間公司分別有跟一些大眾運輸系統合作，
所以只要用手機就可以直接掃QR code搭乘了，不用排隊買票或是找零錢
就我個人經驗杭州地鐵跟很多城市的公車可以刷支付寶，真的很方便
Another good news is that these two companies cooperate with public transports, so you can take the bus or metro simply by scanning QR codes.
BUT 現金還是要帶著，很多景區的門票只收現金。
Cash is still needed, since many tickets of tourist attractions can only be paid in cash.
3. 百度及百度地圖/ Baidu and Baidu Map
Google map doesn't work in China. Google map doesn't work in China. Google map doesn't work in China.
Google 無所不能，可惜在中國地圖上派不上用場。
不過只要有百度地圖+網路還是一樣可以到處趴趴走~
它的功能跟G map 差不多，不過在中國的話實用性跟準確度絕對是大大超過G map的
Remember to download Baidu map! It is super useful and I would say the most important app you need in China.
至於百度的話，可以不用下載一個APP，
不過至少要把它加進瀏覽器的頁面裡，在google跑不動的時候應急。
在實用性上我就覺得百度沒那麼好用了，很多資訊都搜不到，而且官網不會像google一樣出現在搜尋結果的第一位，不太方便
There's no need to download Baidu browser app, but add it in your browser page in case VPN doesn't work
(Though honestly, I think Baidu is not that accurate sometimes)
4. 買高鐵跟火車票必備：12306 掌上火車票/ Train tickets: 12306
中國的高鐵非常便宜，便宜到不用在錢和時間中做取捨！
China high speed rail is fairly cheap, so you don’t need to choose between money and time.
在12306上輸入起訖點和搭乘日期，想要快一點的車就勾選高鐵動車(我其實不清楚動車跟高鐵的差別，但動車有時候會比較便宜、開的比高鐵還快，不一定)
想要更省錢的話就不要勾選，搜尋結果就會包含普通火車的票
然後就可以看當天的各班列車時間、一等座、二等座的價格跟剩餘座位等等，有時甚至會有特價票，便宜到不可思議
我買過從蘇州到崑山(大約是台北到桃園的距離)，12分鐘的高鐵車程只要8塊人民幣，比從新店搭一個小時的捷運到淡水還便宜
You could download an app called “12306” for China railways, both trains and high speed rail, but I think there's only Chinese version for the app.
Then you can search for time, prices, and remaining seats.
Sometimes you can find incredibly cheap tickets on the app.
所以 看到便宜的票一定要趕快下手，不然一下子就沒了！想想可是有13億人在跟你搶票呢XDD
如果你有大陸手機號跟行動支付的話就可以直接在12306的APP上買票了，然後再去車站取票
如果沒有手機號的話就要拿著台胞證到車站購票了。如何拿台胞證買車票、取票以及搭乘經驗請看另一篇文章囉
If you have a Chinese phone number, you can book a ticket on the app directly and take it at the station later.
If not, you have to buy tickets at the counters with your passport.
5. 地鐵/ Metro
一張好用的地鐵卡帶你上天堂(?
我買了一張昆山的公交卡，可以刷上海地鐵、蘇州地鐵、南京地鐵、南京公車、無錫公車......等等等，每次看到一堆觀光客在買地鐵票，我就拿出昆山卡一刷，爽快。
略為查了一下，似乎是因為昆山有加入某種全國一卡通計畫，號稱可以刷全中國三百多個城市 O____O

有加入這個計畫的地方，交通卡上都會有下圖這種標誌
所以如果你去的城市有賣”交通聯合”標誌的交通卡，建議買一張帶在身上，可以省下很多時間跟精力
In the past, each city in China had its own metro card which could not be used in other cities
Right now, China has set up a kind of transport union. If there's the logo on the metro card, then it can be used within all union cities.
So if the city you're visiting offers these kind of metro card and you are going to many places, buy one -- It can save you a lot of time to wait in line and buy tickets
The one I have is from Kunshan. I personally have used it in Shanghai, Shuzou, Wuxi, and Nanjing!
還有很讚的一點是，交通卡支持NFC充值，使用指定的APP或支付寶就可以不用去地鐵站，直接拿手機錢包裡面的錢充值就好了！因此也不用擔心出了該城市的地界就找不到地方加值。
the other good thing is that Kunshan card offers NFC charging. With your phone and Alipay or any other specified apps, you can charge the card without going to metro stations! Even if you left the original city, you can still charge it.
至於支付寶跟微信只有跟部分城市的地鐵合作，並不保證你去的地方一定能使用喔
Though Alipay and Wechat cooperate with many metro systems, I'm not sure if all cities are applicable
6. 學生證!!!!! Student ID Card!!!!!
來中國旅遊的話這絕對是前三重要的東西啊!!
出示學生證門票全都半價，半價，半價!!!
某些5A級景點的門票不斐，有學生證可以省下很多很多很多的錢

7. 台胞證/Passport
入中國海關，需要。搭高鐵，需要。住旅館，需要。某些知名景點買門票，也需要。
在中國，台灣的護照是不能使用的啊QQ
Passport is needed when taking railways, checking in hotels, and even buying tickets at tourist spots.
8. 一雙防滑的鞋/ anti-slip shoes
很多古鎮古蹟都是鋪石板路，經過上千年數十億人的踩踏已經變得十分光滑
更不用說下雨的時候有多難走了
尤其要上城牆時超滑的石頭配上超斜的坡，我親眼看到在我前面的三個人差點滑倒，我自己也重心不穩好幾次
(嚴重懷疑古人的輕功其實只是地板太滑)
If you are visiting some old towns or historical walls, then prepare a pair of anti-slip shoes--
After hundreds of years, stepping by millions of people, the stone roads have become very smooth
Not to mention how hard to walk on it when raining
