Before you land
- Ask your phone company whether your plan includes data in mainland China, and finish any travel-data setup while you still have a connection you trust.
- Install the apps you expect to need, including maps, translation, and payment, before the flight.
- Download the map area you will use while you still have a connection. A map app that has not saved the area cannot help in a tunnel or a dead spot.
- Hotel Wi-Fi often needs a login page in the browser before anything else will load.
