After your iQIYI international account is registered and signed in as an ordinary iQIYI member, you are able to enjoy watching all non-VIP-tag videos, including China dramas, TV reality shows, Chinese animations and short videos, etc, for free.

普通会员注册并登录成功后，即可享受所有无VIP标签的视频、中国电视剧、综艺节目、中国动漫以及短视频等等。

Other video contents and TV series under the "VIP" tags require monthly subscriptions at least to be iQIYI's VIP member to watch.

其他打上了“VIP”标签的视频和电视剧内容，均为付费视频内容，需要订阅成为 iQIYI 的包月 VIP 会员才能观看。

And a good news is that newly registered iQIYI users (which is probably depending on exclusive devices ) can enjoy 1-month free VIP benefits. It means all new users at present can watch all non-VIP and VIP videos for free in one month. Due to the unknown issue about the closing date of this benefit, anyone who is interested in this app or Chinese dramas and TV shows may try to register iQIYI international account as soon as possible.

不过好消息是，目前新注册的用户（极有可能是根据设备来判断）可以免费享受一个月的 VIP 会员体验。这意味着现在所有新注册的会员，即使没有购买VIP，也可以观看所有的 VIP 专项视频了。我们暂时不知道这一福利将会在合适结束。感兴趣的朋友可以立即注册体验下。
