Most places now in China accept we chat or alipay, etc. Cash they accept but no change.Most places in China will still take cash. As tourists, mobile payment platform are not necessary. It's helpful, convenient definitely, but not necessary.
Similar to how if a tourist comes to Singapore; no local sim,no ride hailing app,no ezlink card, no PayLah/NetsPay.
Whereas in Singapore most already start accepting we chat pay, alipay, etc. So is convenient to them as tourist in Singapore but not for tourist when in China.
