    This is pretty similar to my experience as well. I only used AliPay for actual payments just because WePay required a Chinese bank account and so was off limits to foreigners. I did, however, book tickets to places through WeChat, and it seemed like all of those services were on WeChat, though maybe there were also similar services on AliPay that I wasn't aware of.

        Nice. I’m no longer there, but good to know WePay is an option in the future.
