🇨🇳 The Chinese App That Makes Instagram Look Primitive

RedNote (Xiaohongshu) has evolved far beyond what Instagram offers and is now a core part of how people travel and discover places across China.

Users rely on it to find restaurants, cafés, shops, repair services, and complete travel itineraries. Posts often include exact addresses, prices, transit directions, budgets, and detailed advice on what is actually worth visiting.

➡️ Built-in maps show nearby places directly inside the app
➡️ Users share practical guides instead of just polished photos
➡️ “City walks” provide curated step-by-step routes through neighborhoods
➡️ Businesses depend on RedNote to attract real foot traffic

The result is a platform that combines Instagram, Google Maps, and TripAdvisor in one product.

In China, social media has become part of everyday infrastructure.
