What’s the estimated daily costs in Suzhou, and what’s recommended forms and methods of payment for visitors from abroad?

About 400RMB daily would be good starting point. Casual dining restaurants and chain eateries provide a wider range of options. A meal for one in a mid-range restaurant typically costs between 60 to 150RMB, while street café costs below 50RMB.

Digital Payment Apps

International Visa or Mastercard: These are commonly accepted in larger restaurants and tourist major attractions.

Alipay and WeChat Pay: These are the two most widely used payment apps in China, accepted at almost every merchant, from street vendors to luxury stores. To use them, you can link an international Visa or Mastercard, or open a Chinese bank account through partner services.

VTB QR Code Payment: Russia's VTB Bank will launch its QR code payment service in China. This service will allow Russian tourists to make payments using their VTB bank accounts, similar to how they do in Russia.

While digital payments dominate, it’s still advisable to carry some cash.

Small Bills: When exchanging cash, request small denominations (like 10 RMB, 20 RMB, and 50 RMB notes) as it can be difficult to get change for large bills in some places.

Visa Application

Do you issue invitation letter to help visitor and exhibitor with visa application?

We do issue invitation letter for professional visitors and exhibitors to apply for visa to attend ITTC. Please contact us with detailed requirements and company info, or submit a draft invitation letter for the organizing committee’s editing and approval.

For Visa application, we have successfully submitted visa documents at Consulate of China. Can you send email to Consulate of China to help expedite the process?
