Nowadays, most of Beijing's transportation cards have China T-Union logo. With the logo, you can use it in most of China T-Union member cities. Beijing Pass has that logo also.

You can top it up and get a refund only in Beijing.

Silkpass App is to top up Beijing Pass outside Beijing, but it is developed to please the government, it is not for people. It's nonsense.

It is better to minimize the number of registration in China.
