Onebyone: Your Personal Tourist Guide in the Pocket

Like some constant travelers may have noticed, as of now many Chinese scenic areas have been equipped with self-service tour guiding gadget, with this babe, you’ll almost never get lost even it’s your first time being somewhere and could get the most out of every trip, thanks to its navigation and vocal guiding features.

The convenience comes at a price, varied from place to place. Normally you need to pay between 60 and 100 RMB (US$ 9.5 and 15) to rent a gadget like this.

Launched in this May, YHiker, the Jiangsu Prov.-based startup which positioned its app as everyone’s tourist guide in the pocket is trying to help tourists get rid of that money. With its Android app Onebyone (玩伴儿, translates to TravelMate) installed, you can hands-down have your very own private guide.
