Essential Apps Guide
Arrival task by task
Choose apps by first-day tasks, not by long recommendation lists. You need payment, maps, translation, transport, booking access, and hotel communication.
What to do
- 1
List the first-day tasks you must complete before choosing apps.
- 2
Keep at least one payment path, one map path, one translation path, and one booking path ready.
- 3
Avoid installing many overlapping apps that you have not tested.
- 4
Keep essential Chinese addresses and phrases outside any single app.
Check before you rely on it
Each essential task has a tested tool.
You can still act if one app logs out or fails to load.
No plan depends on accessing restricted services.
