About OrienScope: China Travel Guide
Travel China with confidence — even if you don't speak a word of Mandarin. OrienScope is an AI travel guide built for foreign tourists in Mainland China. Plan a full day in under a minute, read every street sign and menu in English, and talk to anyone through real-time voice translation. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Plan a trip in under a minute Tell our AI your city, dates, and what you care about — food, culture, history, nature, shopping, or nightlife. Get a day-by-day itinerary with real venues, opening hours, and price estimates. • Read every sign and menu Our translated map layer shows street names, neighborhoods, and points of interest in English, side-by-side with the original Chinese. No more guessing which subway exit to take. • Speak and be understood Hold the mic, speak in English, and play back the Chinese translation instantly. Works both ways — perfect for ordering food, asking directions, or buying tickets. • Navigate like a local Tap any venue for metro, walking, and taxi times — including DiDi deeplinks for one-tap ride booking. Apple Maps integration for turn-by-turn navigation. • Pay without a Chinese bank card View venue prices in RMB. Tap "Pay" to open Alipay's QR scanner directly — perfect for in-person merchant payments at restaurants, markets, and attractions. • Edit your trip with AI Don't like a stop? Tap "Edit with AI" and tell it what you want changed. Add food breaks, swap museums for parks, extend the day — it adapts. CITIES SUPPORTED Beijing · Shanghai · Guangzhou · Shenzhen · Chengdu · Xi'an More cities coming based on user demand. Hangzhou and Chongqing are next. WHY WE BUILT IT Most travel apps in China are built for domestic users and lock English support behind a Chinese phone number. Most translation apps don't understand context. Most AI chatbots invent venues that don't exist. OrienScope exists so a foreign tourist can plan, navigate, translate, and pay in one place, without switching between five apps that were never designed for them. WHAT'S SUPPORTED TODAY • Voice and map translation: English ↔ Chinese • Offline maps: the 6 supported cities, with Apple Maps fallback elsewhere • Alipay payment: requires the Alipay app installed PRIVACY & TRANSPARENCY All AI-generated content is labeled. We disclose which providers handle your data (DeepSeek for itineraries, Baidu Cloud for voice, Amap for maps) and you acknowledge this before any data leaves your device. Personal data is removed on account deletion. Privacy: https://orienscope.app/privacy Terms: https://orienscope.app/terms FREE TO USE OrienScope is free while we build it out with our early travelers. No subscription, no trial countdown, no credit card. QUESTIONS? [email protected] We respond within 4 hours during Beijing business hours. Formerly WanderChina. Same app, same team, new name. Made in Guangzhou. Built for the world.
