Using These Cards Effectively

Simply point to the Chinese phrase on your screen or printed card. Most locals will be happy to help once they understand what you need.

Download Google Translate or Baidu Translate offline packs before your trip. These can help with more complex conversations.

The pinyin (romanized Chinese) helps you attempt pronunciation. Even if your accent isn't perfect, locals appreciate the effort!

Always carry your hotel's business card. Show it to taxi drivers or ask locals to help you find your way back.
