SHANGHAI, (Xinhua) -- Shanghai on Wednesday launched "Easy Go," an all-in-one platform to streamline digital services for international visitors, leveraging China's expanded visa facilitation and instant tax refunds.
The platform, developed by the Foreign Affairs Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, the People's Bank of China Shanghai Head Office, along with other city departments, integrates consumption services and tourism information onto Alipay's international version, eliminating the need for multiple app downloads and addressing previous language barriers.
Foreign users can register with one click to access 30 mini-programs across the four key areas of dining, transport, sightseeing and shopping. Core functions include food delivery, restaurant recommendations, public transit, ride-hailing, travel advice, ticket booking, luggage storage and tax refund service locations. The service operates primarily in English and offers real-time multilingual translation.
