🇨🇳 China
Show-the-local phrase cards for when you are sick or lose something abroad
Emergency numbers
If a life is in danger, call the emergency number first.
Good to know here
- Mobile payment (Alipay, WeChat Pay) is common. Check how you can pay at hospitals and pharmacies.
Before you go
Mobile data (eSIM)
If you get sick or lose something in China, maps, translation and calling for help all need data. Install an eSIM before you fly and it works as soon as you land.
Airport transfers and transport
Taxis and directions are the hardest part when you can't speak the language in China. Booking an airport pickup or transport pass in advance means less to explain on arrival.

Travel medical insurance
A hospital visit in China can cost a lot without insurance. Travel insurance can cover treatment, and most insurers ask for the medical certificate, itemized receipt and police report these cards help you request.

These cards help you communicate. They are not medical or legal advice. In an emergency, call the local emergency number. Contacts and procedures change; check the official sites.
What you tick stays on your phone. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere. · Last checked: 2026-10
