What should I save offline before landing in China?

Updated 2026-09-22 · Conditions and policies can change

Direct answer

Save the first hotel's Chinese address and phone number, booking confirmation, arrival terminal, transfer plan and essential support contacts before departure.

What to know

  • Keep the most important address available even if your phone has no mobile data.
  • Confirm a late arrival with the property and save its reply.
  • Store identity and payment information securely rather than in an unprotected shared note.
