Documents to save

Your phone might be dead, offline, or out of battery after a long flight. Save the important stuff where you can get to it without internet.

What to do

  1. 1

    Save your passport photo page, visa/visa-free basis, onward ticket, hotel booking, and hotel address. Screenshots in your photo album work great.

  2. 2

    Don't just keep things in email — you might not have data to load it.

  3. 3

    If your situation is complicated (multiple stops, unusual route), print the key documents.

  4. 4

    Write a short note with your hotel name, address, and phone in both English and Chinese.

Double-check before you rely on this

  • Names match across your passport, tickets, and hotel bookings.

  • Dates and flight numbers are readable without internet.

  • Someone else (travel companion, family) has copies in case your phone dies.
