Hi all, so yesterday was my 3rd day in China. I was passing a square and heard there was music. Some people where in uniform, and started dancing in circles. More and more normal people from the crowd started to join, all going into one big round circle.

Is this something regular in China, and if so whats it called? I don't really enjoy dance or anything ( atleast it's what I thought, I never showed any interest) but somehow seeing so many people move in the same order made me emotional.

1 of the people dancing even invited me, saying come enjoy with us. But I'm s solo traveler and already eveything is overwhelming, so that was to scary for me.

Anyway, my question :

• Is this normal everywhere in China or just in this city?

• What is it called?

Also, I'm in the train atm to chengdu, where can I find the same thing tonight (if it's there?)

Or, maybe a play you can recomend what I can see? My wife always tried to bring me to traditional dancing shows and theaters, but I always refused. So going now alone would also make her proud hopefully (or maybe upset I go alone instead of going togheter 😅)

Hi everyone, I probably have a wrong VPN because reddit is so slow, I cannot search, so I hope this message will be posted.

Anyway, I downloaded alipay, conected to my revolut, so far so good. Paid 2 times no problem, all of sudden I'm in a hotpot restaurant and for paying I needed to tap. Put my own qr, but it said cannot pay with a foreigner card.

Ok strange, so I asked them if I can scan their qr, but they don't have it. One of the waiter gave me his personal alipay, but the same thing I couldn't use my card it said. Getting stressed and eveything, because no cash on me, a Chinese friend who lives in Thailand, I could contact her and she paid for me. She told me try the next shop to see if it works.

So I grabbed a beer in a local kiosk, tried to pay with alipay and guess what, not a problem. I scanned the kiosk qr and everything was smooth.

Could someone explain me the rules, because I try avoid getting in these situations again haha.

Even with the stress, I still enjoyed my first night 🙏
