Update on cash situation

As of 2023, I've been told that cash is now a problem for paying such items as taxi, buses, metro, restaurants etc. Can you still pay cash or does one have to use AliPay or WeChat MyWallet and if so how does one get such a card as a foreigner? We will be in Guangzhou for 12 days and in Tibet and Shanghai for 3 more weeks. Thanks.

Don't worry, it is still fine to use cash. However, it is true that e-payment is more common used in China. Foreigners can also use Alipay or Wechat pay by registering a new account and adding a foreign bank card.
