I heard about WeChat three hours after arriving in Beijing. I thought, Tthis is a unnecessary app. I have Whatsapp, I don’t need WeChat.” Boy I was wrong! We all need WeChat, my life has been so much easier since I got WeChat and I wish the rest of the world would get WeChat too. I have made many, many friends though WeChat. I have had many questions answered, many shopping experiences, and also great services at home. Here I’ll share some of my favorite WeChat contacts. Do you have any great WeChat contacts?

This article is biased and The Beijinger should not allow it. It favors one service provider or vender. It leads to the question of why these are being promoted and not others, and if the author and/or the publication is being paid for featuring it.
This post has been reposted on The Beijinger website. This article is not biased, as these contacts I have used or others have used and have proven to be great services. There are 3 more follow-up articles after this with more WeChat contacts you need to have. Also, I do not get paid for by any contacts in these articles. And in the article, I clearly ask if people have contacts they would recommend. If you have any cool WeChat contacts, don’t hesitate to contact us again.
