$29 ready pack Address cards, app prep and backups
$89 concierge First-hour support after landing
The first day is where trips break.
China is rewarding to travel, but the digital stack is different. We focus on the stressful practical details most guides gloss over.
We help you choose a compliant data plan, download offline essentials and prepare a communication backup.
You receive hotel address cards, airport route notes and scripts for drivers or hotel staff.
We contact the hotel before arrival and prepare a fallback script if front desk staff are unsure.
We explain passport booking fields, timing and what to screenshot before you go.
You get bilingual emergency cards for lost passport, medical help, payment freezes and hotel issues.
Arrival Concierge: from landing to hotel check-in.
Message "Landed" after touchdown. We stay with you through the practical first hour: data, payment, taxi, hotel and the first backup plan if something fails.
| Module | Traveler pain | How we help |
|---|---|---|
| Internet | eSIM activation is unclear, airport Wi-Fi is unstable, family cannot be reached. | We guide eSIM or roaming activation, then provide airport Wi-Fi, SIM counter or hotel backup options. |
| Payment | Alipay or WeChat Pay fails, card verification is blocked, cash use is uncertain. | We help test the next payment path, prepare cash/card fallback logic and identify places more likely to accept alternatives. |
| Taxi | Pickup levels are confusing and drivers may not understand English hotel names. | You get a Chinese hotel address card, airport pickup notes and message support if the driver or pickup point gets confusing. |
| Hotel | Late arrival, foreign passport registration or front-desk communication becomes stressful. | We confirm the hotel before arrival when possible and help translate during check-in if the front desk gets stuck. |
| Language | Airport, driver and hotel conversations move faster than translation apps. | We provide short Chinese scripts, text translation and simple phone translation for defined arrival problems. |
| Emergency | Luggage is missing, passport is lost, flight is delayed or payment is frozen. | We give the next practical steps and help contact the hotel, airport service desk, insurer or embassy/consulate as appropriate. |
Plain promise: I help you get through your first hour in China until you have data, can attempt payment, can reach transport and can check into the hotel.

Questions travelers ask first
Short answers now. Detailed checklists after booking.
Do you guarantee visa-free entry or immigration approval?
No. We help you understand official rules and prepare documents, but border decisions are made by authorities. We always point you back to official sources for final checks.
Can you set up Alipay or WeChat Pay for me?
We guide you through setup and testing. We never ask for your card password, verification code or full payment credentials.
Do you book hotels, trains or tickets?
We can point you to booking channels and prepare the steps. Direct booking or affiliate links can be added after supplier accounts are approved.
Which cities do you support first?
The first operating focus is Shanghai and Beijing, with Chengdu, Xi'an and Chongqing added after the service playbook is stable.

Send your arrival basics from your phone. We reply with the right checklist, paid pack or concierge option.
