Salam everyone. Going to Beijing for 5 days. Anyone have any advice/tips on halal food, hotels and things to do? I'm also taking my 5 month son so any advice on that will be grateful.
I have been living in China for last 16 years, there is a good number of muslims in most of the major cities in China and halal food is available in almost all major cities. Download this App, 美团外卖
清真 Qing Zhen, means halal, When you will put this word in Mei tuan app search bar all halal food Muslim restaurant will appear. You can order from anyone.
And they will deliver to your hotel, hotel address you can ask at reception,Or receptionist will help you to setup the address.
Download first translator also, it will be very helpful. You should have any vpn also because without vpn you can’t use WhatsApp, facebook, youtube, twitter google.
Apart from that you should stay in three star hotels like IBIS or 7 days Inn, or any other hotel, because foreigners can’t stay in less than 3 star hotels.
Above mentioned vpn are paid vpn and they work just fine the best one is Astrill and shadow rocket
You can download Alipay app and attach your international card to pay. It will be very handy
do they have English version of mei tuan app as well. As I can only see the one in Chinese
Unfortunately, they don’t have. But if you will right halal in the search bar Chinese Muslims restaurant will appear
