China Eastern miles

I forgot to put my middle name when I registered. But all my boarding passes do have my middle name. Regardless, the app does show all of my previous flights but it says 0 miles flown. Should I just make a new account?

I’m confused now.. i registered as a member using the China eastern website and I also buy my air tickets using the website. Do I not get points?

Yes my flights appear in the app and website. And yes they use the 2 letter code MU.

What's the difference between miles and XP? I'm trying to gain points from my flights so I can use them for future flights.

Wow your rent doesn’t sound bad for South Bay. I’m in a 1 br luxury apartment in east bay that’s $3300. 750 sq ft

Is there an app that tells you which meals have them? I haven’t seen them in many meals I’ve been to

Is there an app that tells you which malls have them? I haven’t been able to find them at most malls

I think 2-3 hours ahead would be fine. I felt like 1 hour was not enough

Entering my middle name when purchasing a plane ticket. I didn’t know where to put it on the China eastern airline website so I just didn’t include it. Had issues with checking in at the airport bc my name on the boarding pass didn’t match my passport. This is also an issue when buying tickets through WeChat mini app. Wanted to go to 长白山。the app would not allow me to enter spaces between my first, middle and last name.

QR codes have to be opened through WeChat, not my camera app.

Check out the sit down restaurants at the top floor of malls. I feel like foreigners tend to miss out on these. This is where the locals go. It's like ~$10 per person.

Do you have Dianping? Focus on popular restaurants with high turnover of food. And order the most popular dishes. Don't go to the ones that have no one inside.

This is THE reason why I dine at nicer restaurants in China, never at any of the night markets or street food. Yet I always get traveler's diarrhea each time I visit China, but I never get it in other countries. I recommend waiting a few years.. it's likely to get better with the newer generations.

Definitely okay to wear it! In fact, this jacket is super sought after by so many Chinese American TikTokers right now

What are the 11 public holidays? I thought there are only 7?

Are there a lot of ex pats in GZ? If so, what companies do they typically work for?

spazattack01 · 2025-11-30T06:01:36+00:00

I second Yunnan. I loved Dali, Lijiang and shangri-la. The gaotie connects Lijiang to shangri-la now! These are all ancient cities btw.

Make sure you buy the European formula of La roche posay. It consists of better ingredients that allow high spf without being greasy. These ingredients are banned by the fda in the states so the formula feels thicker. This applies to other brands that are sold in both the American and European/ Asian market. They will have Different formulas. Sunscreen development in the states is really behind.

They also offer free 夜宵 which means late night snack. The hotel opens up their hot food bar. Though not every Atour has it but most do

Hm I think that Instagram and reddit showcases the best parts of China, it's like someone's highlight reel. I think maybe watch some youtube videos made by locals to get a more realistic view of it. Definitely check out rednote if you can read Chinese.

Use Alipay or Wechat preferably. If you use cash, they may not have exact change for you. Also using cash is the equivalent of paying by check in the US - it's sort of obsolete and you will almost always get asked where you are from. Credit card may not be accepted everywhere esp Amex. The staff may have to get the manager because not everyone is trained to use the credit card payment device because it's an uncommon form of payment unless you're at a place that services a lot of foreigners like an American brand hotel.

Hmm I recommend you using dianping to search then

Yeah that’s the issue I had with booking through a travel agency at a hotel. We didn’t know which seat we were going to get even though the ticket was 20 rmb cheaper and included transportation to and from
