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
