I had poor experiences in Hong Kong 2019 and Taiwan 2017-2019 (getting guys from online; saunas were great), and now Tantan a big disappointment. As far as I know, there is no Chinese mainland version of Blued, they use different apps (Tantan and Momo, no relation to Blued).

Others who write about Chinese version of Blued, what is it? Name can be in Chinese, or screenshot of icon? Are there any gay saunas in China?

Details and statistics when I'm back, but so far I can say on future trips to China (for sightseeing, mostly mountain) I won't even bother with gay apps or anything else, unless someone tells me how exactly it's done.

Can be generalized for China and India (my recent trip 3 weeks in February), I'm interested in Chinese and Indians, not as much as in Thai, Khmer, Myanmar, but you would think by sheer number I could make something work, but statistics are so much in my disfavor that I couldn't make anything work (1 week India on Blued - I gave up after 1 week of my 3 week trip - , 1 week China on Tantan, I can extrapolate that it would take me dozens of hours on the apps to get one encounter).

With great difficulty did I manage to register and buy a train ticket on 12306 (Chinese Railway). I wondered that I didn't get a ticket by email or on their website, but as all tickets are bound to a person, I went to railway station and could pass security and check-in just with my passport. There was no paper ticket, not even a digital ticket or QR-code, just my passport to which ticket is connected. Second attempt to buy a train ticket online failed and I had to go to railway station (days in advance, as trains tend to sell out and be full).
