Mobile data in China
Sort the small details before a mainland China trip: your hotel name in Chinese, the correct airport and a saved copy of every booking. Mobile data lets a tourist retrieve those on the move, but an internet connection is not the same as payment approval or local-number verification.

stop in reach.Shanghai, China
Shanghai: plan past the airport connection.
Check whether your flight lands at Pudong or Hongqiao before saving an arrival route. From Pudong, the Maglev runs to Longyang Road Station, where you change to Metro Line 2 for the roughly one-hour ride to People's Square. Hongqiao is served by Metro Lines 10 and 2.
Match the connection to your hotel area and landing time, and save the hotel name and address in Chinese along with the exit or pickup point you plan to use. Check current departures rather than trusting a screenshot from an earlier trip.
If you head out to photograph the skyline after check-in, keep the return route saved. A data connection does not guarantee access to every overseas site or app, so prepare the maps and contact method you rely on before leaving home.
Save before you goAirport code, hotel address in Chinese, onward transfer and arrival notes.
Beijing: keep the booking and your ID together.
For the Summer Palace or Temple of Heaven, Beijing's municipal parks sell tickets online through the 'Visiting Beijing Parks' (畅游公园) platform, which has an English language option. Foreign visitors can book with a passport or permanent residence permit, so confirm the current steps for your chosen park and date.
Keep the confirmation and carry the same identity document you used to book. Entry is by QR code plus a valid ID such as a passport; an eSIM only provides internet access, not admission or identity checks.
Agree on a specific entrance and meeting time before the group splits, since big park grounds make a message like 'at the gate' useless. Screenshot the entrance name and your accommodation address for the way back.
Save before you goTicket confirmation, booked entrance and ID requirements.
