Here are some of the Tips that I've got for you from my One Night in China...
  1. Book through the Hotel Travel Service
    1. You don’t want to deal with the swindlers.
    2. Go directly with the hotel transport service - much more convenient.
    3. Don't get into a random car because you don't know what the pricing is. It might change.
    4. If you do take taxi services, make sure you’ve got a printout of the Hotel in Mandarin with the map.
    5. Make sure you have cash as they only take cash and not credit cards.

  1. Communication
China has a firewall and regular texts might not work.

    1. Download Wechat
      1. Best way to communicate with your vendors.

      1. Gmail and FB are blocked in China.
      2. Best VPS for me is Xpress VPN.

    1. Get Viber

  2. Passport
    1. Take a photo of your passport, just in case of emergency.
