About China Survival Kit

Don't speak a word of Chinese? You can still get help in an emergency, get a taxi, order dinner, check into your hotel, and pay by QR — just by showing your phone. Most translation apps go silent the moment you panic, hit a paywall, or lose signal. China Survival Kit is built the other way around: the things that actually keep you safe are free, work 100% offline, and are one tap away the moment you land — before you have a SIM card or Wi-Fi. NOW WITH 230+ READY-TO-SHOW PHRASES across 19 real travel situations — big, clear Chinese with pinyin, every one recorded by a professional Chinese teacher. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • They tap the answer back — every question shows big reply buttons: the local taps, and you read their answer in English. Yes / no, left / right, "I'll write it down," cash / WeChat / Alipay. • Real human voice — all audio recorded by a professional Chinese teacher, volume-matched for noisy streets. Plays even with your phone on silent. • Emergency is always free — one-tap dial 120 / 110 / 119, never behind a paywall. • Offline Emergency Card — your blood type, allergies, conditions and hotel address in clear Chinese to show a doctor, stored only on your phone. • Allergy picker — tap your allergens and the correct, life-or-death Chinese is built into your restaurant and medical phrases. • Big Chinese text designed to be read across a counter. WHAT'S INSIDE (230+ phrases) • Emergency & medical — ambulance, hospital, police, lost passport, your own medical card • Taxi & Didi — address, meter, trunk, air-con, no detours, stop here • Hotel — check in, early check-in, key card, change room, luggage, checkout • Restaurant — see the menu, "not spicy," allergies, to-go, the bill • Mobile payment — pay cash instead of QR, WeChat / Alipay, scan my code • Subway & train, directions, shopping & bargaining, delivery, SIM card, and more FREE TO START Download free and use the safety essentials right away — emergency dialing, the Emergency Card, tools, and starter phrases. Unlock the full travel pack once for lifetime access (no subscription, no account) to get every scenario. WHO IT'S FOR First-time visitors, business travelers, students, and anyone heading to Beijing, Shanghai, or anywhere in China without speaking the language. Pack it before you fly. The one app you'll be glad you had the moment you land. — China Survival Kit is a communication aid, not a medical or translation guarantee. Spoken understanding can vary by region and dialect. In an emergency, always call local services (120 / 110 / 119) and seek a professional.
