Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What exactly is a “functional” travel guide?

A: It’s a PDF where every attraction, hotel, and restaurant has a one‑click Amap navigation link. It also includes screen‑by‑screen walkthroughs for setting up Alipay, WeChat Pay, eSIMs, and VPNs — so instead of reading generic descriptions, you’re actually following a verified, working system.

Q: I’ve never been to China. Can I really use this guide?

A: Absolutely. Every listing has a Chinese address to show taxi or Didi drivers. The connectivity chapter tells you exactly which eSIM or SIM + VPN combination works in Guilin’s rural areas, with installation videos. It’s built specifically for first‑timers.

Q: Do I need internet to use the guide once I’m there?

A: No. The PDF works completely offline. The only time you’ll need data is when you choose to book a ticket — and the guide provides direct links that open in your browser.

Q: Is this suitable for solo travellers, couples, or families?

A: Yes. Transport options (shuttle, private car, e‑bike) are broken down by group size and cost. The three‑day pace is efficient without being rushed — perfect for any travel style.
