Chinese Tinder

I had some really strange experiences, using tinder in China. I am 19 years old and from Germany and after I finished school, I said fuck it I go to China for some time. When I arrived to China I started to use tinder but I basically got only two type of matches. The first one were Chinese boys who dress up as girls. Liking them was probably my fault, but I even went on some dates with them and imagine my shock when there was a boy standing in front of me. The second type, who matched with me where 30+ woman who always wanted to fuck with me. They said they were paying for my train tickets etc. to meet them, but obviously I‘m very hesitant to meet with any of these. So now my question: Is this the normal experience in China? Should I look into different dating apps? Or should I just go more often to the bar?
