About Me
My name is Will, and I’ve been in China for four decades—after traveling around the world I know how intimidating this place can seem from the outside.
I’m also a Google Map Level 7 Local Guide, I have helped thousands of users untangle everything from how China is like to where to go. China isn’t “scary”—it’s just wildly different. Those “differences” become magic once you know all the details.

Here’s What I Do:
- Give all the information you concern: Is tap water really undrinkable? Are taxis safe at night? Everything important can be found from this site.
- Prep You Like a Local: Not just “download WeChat,” but how to pay street vendors without a Chinese bank
- Skip the pandas-and-great-wall clichés. You’ll get raw, practical advice. account.
A Final Note
China changes extremely fast. The 2010 guidebook advice is laughable now. That’s why this site stays updated through my daily life here—and through your questions.
