Zhao (找): ‘to find’ in Chinese

We like traveling light. We hate it when language becomes a barrier between us and experiencing a new place. And that's why we started Zhao Cards.

Zhao Cards contain savvy, up-to-date travel information written by local experts. But there's a twist: our listings are on detachable cards bound with a ring fastener. No more hauling around bulky guidebooks full of information you don't need that day: with Zhao Cards, you decide which cards you carry.

We want to share the most authentic experiences a place has to offer with you, even if you don't speak the local language. So each card contains the local expressions you need to get where you're going, order house specialties, and much more. Zhao gives you the tools you need to explore.
