About this place
Save both the Chinese and English names of your departure and arrival stations. A city can have several stations or airports, and a ticket to one does not mean another. Use the carrier's official channel to check schedules, passenger names, identity documents, baggage and change conditions; allow extra time for station entry and the last connection to your lodging.
Before you go
Keep your hotel's Chinese name, full street address and reception telephone number available offline. Show the destination card rather than relying only on pronunciation. Confirm the district and entrance with your driver, and avoid storing passport scans or payment details on a public shared screen.
Sources and further reading
Choose one main destination for a short visit and add a second only after checking the transfer. Group sights by actual location, not by how close their names look in a list. Keep the arrival day light, allow time to collect luggage and reach the hotel, and reserve an unplanned block for weather or transport changes.
