📱 Official App Downloads

✨ Overview & Essential Brief: Dianping focuses on local lifestyle review and consumption guide, famous for massive authentic user reviews of offline businesses. Its core advantage lies in real diner ratings, detailed photos and genuine feedback of restaurants, cafes and scenic diners, helping foreigners pick high-quality catering easily. Apart from food checking, users can search spas, hair salons, cinemas and entertainment venues nearby, check opening hours and location navigation linked with map software. The app launches group-buy deals constantly, providing discounted set meals and service packages at much lower prices than in-store consumption. It cooperates with Meituan for takeout order access and supports Alipay settlement. With rich local catering and life information, Dianping solves foreigners’ trouble of choosing proper local stores and becomes a must-have guide for eating and entertaining in Chinese cities.
ℹ️

Key Feature: Dianping is China’s “Yelp” — millions of authentic user reviews help you find the best restaurants, cafes, and services with real photos and honest ratings from actual customers.

🔍 (2) Core Function Usage

1

Local Service Browsing and Filtering

Location Activation: Open the APP, enable location permissions, and the local service providers in the current city will be displayed automatically. The default recommended category is ‘Food’, and it supports switching to categories such as ‘Hotels’, ‘Leisure & Entertainment’, ‘Beauty’, ‘Parent-Child’, and ‘Fitness’.

Precise Filtering: After selecting a category, you can filter by distance (near to far), rating (above 4 / above 4.5), price range (average spending per person), taste (such as Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine), and facilities (free WiFi, free parking) to quickly find businesses that meet your needs.

💡

Pro Tip: Use the rating filter (4.0+ or 4.5+) to find consistently highly-rated restaurants. Combine with distance sorting to find the best spots near you.

Merchant Details Inquiry

Detail Page: Click on the merchant to enter the detail page to view the merchant’s profile (business hours, address, contact information), user reviews (including real photos, taste/environment/service ratings, experience sharing), average spending per person, recommended dishes/items.

Practical Information: Check merchant packages (such as food packages, beauty packages), promotional activities (such as vouchers, discount coupons), reservation rules, parking information, and whether takeout is supported; some merchants offer “merchant live streaming” to intuitively understand the environment and products.

Favorites and Sharing: Click the ‘Favorite’ icon to add your preferred merchants to ‘My – Favorites’ for easy future reference; support sharing merchant information to WeChat and Weibo to recommend to friends.

Review Tip: Pay special attention to reviews with photos — they give you a real sense of portion sizes, presentation, and atmosphere that text alone cannot convey.

Once published, it will be available for other users to reference.

Online Booking

Booking Process: Some merchants support online booking (such as restaurants, hotels, beauty and nail services). On the merchant’s detail page, click ‘Book’, select the booking date, time, number of people / service items, fill in the contact information, confirm the booking rules (such as cancellation policy, deposit requirements), and submit the order.

In-Store Use: Use the booking information (order number or phone number) to verify in-store and enjoy the service; some bookings require a deposit, which can be deducted from the meal or service fee upon consumption in-store.

ℹ️

Booking Tip: Popular restaurants in China fill up quickly, especially on weekends. Book at least 1-2 days in advance for best availability. Check the cancellation policy before booking.
