NiHao Travel China

About

NiHao Travel China is the complete travel companion for foreign visitors to China — everything you need in one app, and everything works OFFLINE. Travelling to China can feel overwhelming: a different language, unfamiliar apps, menus you can't read, and customs nobody explained to you. NiHao solves that. ◆ SURVIVAL PHRASES 1,000+ essential phrases across 30+ real travel situations — greetings, hotels, restaurants, shopping, transport, medical, emergencies. Tap any phrase to show a large Chinese card that locals can read instantly. Available in 15 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Korean, Japanese and Turkish. ◆ MENU DECODER Can't read a Chinese menu? Our decoder explains hundreds of common dishes, ingredients and spice levels — including what's safe for vegetarians and what isn't. ◆ ALLERGY CARDS Show waiters a clear allergy card in Chinese: gluten, peanuts, shellfish, dairy and more. One tap, potentially life-saving. ◆ METRO & TRAINS City metro guides with English station names, ticket instructions, and high-speed rail essentials — how to buy, board and find your seat. ◆ SCAM ALERTS & CULTURE GUIDE Know the common tourist scams before you meet them. Understand Chinese etiquette, tipping, queuing, gift-giving and sensitive topics — so you travel with respect and confidence. ◆ SOS & EMERGENCIES One-tap emergency numbers (110 police, 120 ambulance, 119 fire), embassy guidance, and what to say when you call — in Chinese, ready to read aloud. ◆ SENIOR MODE Travelling China at 60+? Switch to our extra-large, high-contrast Senior Mode with simplified navigation and giant text. Built for travellers who deserve bigger buttons, not smaller ones. ◆ AI TRIP PLANNING 29 ready-made ChatGPT prompt templates for planning your trip — itineraries, packing lists, visa questions and more. Copy, paste into ChatGPT, done. (Works best before you arrive; ChatGPT may be inaccessible within mainland China — which is exactly why all in-country tools in NiHao work fully offline.) ◆ TAXI & DRIVER CARDS Show your driver exactly where you're going — pre-written destination cards and fare instructions in Chinese. ◆ WHY NIHAO? • Works 100% offline after install — no SIM, no setup, no problem • No account, no login, no tracking. Your data stays on your phone • Designed for Western travellers, including senior travellers • 15 languages, always with Chinese shown alongside NiHao — travel China like a local. Note: NiHao is an independent travel guide. It is not a payment app and is not affiliated with any bank or payment network.
