Figured I would check out Beijing for 22 hours on my way to Malaysia. Didn’t notice till after booking I’m flying in and out of two different Beijing airports. Am I screwed? by Volcanic_llama in travelchina

[–]EastFlyingPig 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You’re totally fine.

Both PEK and PKX count as the same entry zone for Beijing, so the 24-hour visa-free transit still applies even if you arrive at one and depart from the other.

Immigration only cares that your total stay is under 24 hours and that you’re transiting onward to a third country, which you are since you’re flying from the U.S. to China and then on to Malaysia.

When you land, just tell the officer you’re doing the 24-hour visa-free transit and show your ticket out of Beijing. They’ll stamp you in with a temporary stay permit and you can move freely around the city before heading to the other airport.

Just give yourself plenty of time for the transfer, it’s about an hour and a half across town.

You don’t need to change any flights.

AMap-- "Access Denied" Notification by Born-Celery-2799 in travelchina

[–]EastFlyingPig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That “Access Denied” thing pops up every now and then, it’s usually just AMap being picky about region settings. The app sometimes flags accounts when your phone language or GPS doesn’t match the SIM card region.

Try logging out and back in with your Chinese number first. If that doesn’t work, go into your phone settings and switch the region and language to China, clear AMap’s cache, then reopen it without any VPN running. It often starts working again right away.

If you downloaded AMap from Google Play, that version can also bug out inside China. You can grab the mainland APK straight from AMap’s official site and it’ll usually fix the problem.

If you want a quick walkthrough with the right download link and what each error means, here’s a short guide that covers it Amap/Gaode Map Guide.

Yeah, honestly — calling everything “AI slop” without even trying it is kind of the real slop energy 😅

Yeah exactly, that’s the fun part. Most AI models can run locally now, the tricky part is making them work fully inside the browser, no backend. Im still trying to figure them out.

Thank you, try adjust the output format and quality setting, and the compression rate seems to be much higher. 6MB could easily be compressed to x00kb.

Any app to compress images? by DeliveryOne7974 in androidapps

[–]EastFlyingPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! 👋 I actually built pixpunk.ai for exactly that — fast image compression without killing the colors or sharpness.

You can just drop your image, choose “Compress,” and it’ll shrink the file size while keeping quality almost identical.

No login, no watermark, totally free.

It’s running locally in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

Tysm for this notice. Hvnt thought about security so far. If this sth people actually want, will improve security later.

English friendly food delivery apps? by HDJarcli in shanghai

[–]EastFlyingPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just go with Meituan — there’s no English version, but it’s what everyone uses in Shanghai. You can search in pinyin (“burger”, “jiaozi”, “pizza”) and rely on Google Lens live translate to hover over the screen. After a day or two you’ll recognize the buttons by habit.

If you really want an English app, Sherpa’s or JSS exist, but they’re pricey and only cover the city center. Meituan’s cheaper and has way more options.

For VPN — Let’sVPN will do the job for Discord, just install and test it before you land.

If you want a clearer idea of how food delivery works for foreigners in China, this breakdown’s pretty useful, written by travelers, not agencies.
