Apple Pay 在中国能用吗？
最后更新 2026-05-31
How payments actually work in China
China skipped contactless cards and went straight to QR codes. The default everywhere — restaurants, markets, taxis, the metro — is to scan a code in Alipay or WeChat Pay. Tap-to-pay card terminals do exist, but they're the exception, concentrated at businesses used to foreign visitors.
Where Apple Pay works
If your iPhone has a foreign Visa or Mastercard in Wallet, Apple Pay works anywhere that accepts contactless Visa or Mastercard:
- Airport shops, lounges, and duty-free.
- International chain hotels and their restaurants.
- Global brands — Starbucks, the Apple Store, large department stores, some supermarket chains.
- Some convenience stores such as 7-Eleven and FamilyMart at the register.
Where Apple Pay won't help
Step outside those settings and contactless cards mostly stop working: street food, neighborhood restaurants, wet markets, most taxis, small museums, and in-app ride-hailing all expect a QR scan. For these you need Alipay or WeChat Pay.
The practical setup
Keep Apple Pay for the convenient moments it covers, but treat Alipay or WeChat Pay with a linked foreign card as your real payment method. With both in your pocket, you can pay for essentially anything by scanning, and fall back to Apple Pay's tap where it happens to be accepted.
