We will arrive in Beijing on 13th and leaving from Beijing 21st.
For Jiexiu, it's not certain for the moment. We should be between the 16th and 20th.
Sadly for foreigners, Mastercard and Visa are not usable in China (Because of restrictions from USA).
So I will suggest you to use the application Alipay.
This application allows you to pay and take the metro.
Alipay will ask you to synchronise with either a bank account or a bank card (Mastercard and Visa included). I will advice you to use an online bank as a "prepaid" account (e.g. Revolut or N26).Note: You will need to upload a photo of you passport. Your passport will be ask everywhere in China.I will prepare a tutorial later on.
