核心应用详解 / Core Apps Explained

微信（WeChat）：不只是聊天工具，内含支付、小程序（相当于App内的App）、公众号。景区预约、餐厅点餐、共享单车均通过微信小程序完成。

WeChat: Far more than messaging — it contains payments, mini-programs (apps within the app), and official accounts. Attraction reservations, restaurant ordering, and bike-sharing all run through WeChat mini-programs.

高德地图（Amap）：导航精度高，实时路况准确，公交换乘方案详细。比百度地图更新更快，推荐作为主力导航工具。

Amap (Gaode Maps): High navigation accuracy, real-time traffic, detailed transit directions. Updates faster than Baidu Maps — recommended as your primary navigation tool.

离线准备 / Offline Preparation

下载目的地城市的离线地图（百度地图/高德地图均支持），在无网络或信号弱时仍可导航。百度翻译离线包支持无网络拍照翻译，在偏远地区非常实用。

Download offline maps for your destination cities (both Baidu Maps and Amap support this) — navigation works without signal. Baidu Translate's offline pack supports photo translation without internet, invaluable in remote areas.
