On one side, the t-shirt features images of Beijing's iconic tourist attractions(景点 jǐngdiǎn) along with their Chinese and English names, including the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the National Stadium (Bird's Nest). On the other side, it lists basic necessities for visitors under four categories: transportation(交通 jiāotōng),

accommodation(住宿 zhùsù) and dining(餐饮 cānyǐn), shopping(购物 gòuwù), and emergency assistance(援助 yuánzhù). Each of the items has a picture and a concise bilingual description.

The t-shirt allows its owners to point at what they're looking for if they need help and can't find a local who can speak their language.

"With the t-shirt on, I won't worry about getting lost any more," said one commenter on Sina Weibo.
