What is TravelPanda built for?

TravelPanda helps international visitors with the little things that take time on a China trip: gathering ideas into an itinerary, reading Chinese menus, and practising useful Chinese. You can also ask Banbo travel questions and adjust your plans together.

Which languages are supported?

The app interface supports English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Translation availability varies by tool, language and device.

Can I use TravelPanda without a network connection?

On compatible devices, the optional Offline Kit supports selected menu and face-to-face conversation translation scenarios. Download and test it before your trip. Availability varies by device and language, and may require a membership or in-app purchase. Online itinerary planning, search and AI chat still need an internet connection.

How does TravelPanda use my location?

Location is requested only when a nearby answer needs it. You can allow it once, choose a city manually, or continue without sharing your current position.

How do I manage or delete my data?

You can manage privacy controls inside the app and request account deletion through the TravelPanda account support portal.
