Find your way around China in English.
Nali is a map app for visitors to China. Search the way you’d say it, see the Chinese name beside every place, and show it to a driver when you need to get there.

What Nali does
- Search in plain English
- Type “late-night dumplings near my hotel” and get places that fit, not keyword guesses from the wrong side of the city.
- Chinese beside every name
- Each place shows its Chinese name and address, so taxi drivers and staff can read exactly where you mean. Open directly in Amap or Didi to easily get where you're trying to go.
- Hotels that take foreign guests
- See which hotels can register an international passport before you book, not at the front desk.
- Where foreign cards work
- Travellers mark the places where a foreign card worked through Alipay or WeChat Pay, so you know before you order.
