13 years ago when I first came to China, it was already great to successfully apply for a bank card.

Thirteen years later, I’ve gotten used to Smart Shopping—not only knowing what to buy, but also how to pay, so UnionPay has gradually become my most frequently used payment method.

What surprised me the most is that I often see the UnionPay logo even when traveling abroad—just swipe and go without needing to exchange currency, which makes me feel much more at ease. This time, while passing by a UnionPay pop-up event in Shanghai📸, I naturally wanted to capture it! You can get personalized receipts, take photos of yourself crossing the finish line, and print them out to hang on your bag. And let me tell everyone:

For foreigners like us shopping in Shanghai, using UnionPay for departure tax refunds is incredibly convenient. Chinese people can also use UnionPay for overseas spending. Currently, UnionPay’s departure tax refund service covers 46 countries and regions worldwide, with fast refunds and extremely simple procedures. Use UnionPay for departure tax refunds—save at every step and win at every turn!

I also happened to discover that UnionPay is a sponsor of the 2025 Shanghai Marathon, and the atmosphere there was full of high energy! If you’re nearby, be sure to check it out.
