China, mapped for travelers.
A map of China with practical details for international travelers.
You are exploring a Chinese city with a few free hours. NihaoMap answers the questions that decide where they go: what is worth the trip, is it open now, what should you expect when you arrive, and how do you get there and be understood?
Local maps assume you already know the city
The apps residents rely on assume you read Chinese and already know how the city works. Ideas reach you through social posts, blogs and friends, but the details that decide whether a place is worth an afternoon — opening hours, reservations, how long to allow, what it costs, how to pay, where to be dropped off — are scattered, translated badly, or missing.
NihaoMap is built for that gap: fewer places, better facts, in English, with the Chinese you need close at hand.
Find, decide, arrive
Decide
Place pages answer the practical questions: whether it is open now, whether you should book ahead, how long to allow, what it costs, and the small frictions that catch visitors out. Guides show the date they were last verified.
Arrive
Hand the route to the navigation app you already use. Then Show in Chinese puts the place name, the address or a drop-off point, and a short Chinese phrase in front of a driver or the person at the entrance.

18 cities for the first release
We are preparing the first release across 18 Chinese cities. Use the city selector to see the available coverage. Place information varies in depth, so check the details before you go. Sign in to download an available city for offline maps and included place content; download availability is shown separately for each city.
Opening hours, ticket rules and reservation policies change without notice. Treat every detail as a starting point and confirm before you set off — that is why the app says Check before you go.
