Jamester,

QuickPass is UnionPay's contactless brand, and it's a feature of the card. If you look on the back of your UnionPay card it will say QuickPass. There is also a mobile version of it, but to my knowledge ICBC USA doesn't support it. Theoretically when you see the QuickPass logo you should be able to tap and go. I'd try this for the Shenzhen Metro with the US based UnionPay card, but my Mandarin isn't good enough if something goes wrong. They'd probably be scratching their heads at how I got a UnionPay card.
