Real use cases

When to use this checklist

  • First-time visitor flying in two weeks — Generate a prioritized preparation list covering payment, internet, and documents.
  • Multi-city traveler using high-speed trains — Get reminders about 12306 account setup, passport matching, and station navigation.
  • Payment not yet set up — The checklist surfaces Alipay and WeChat Pay setup as a must-do before departure.

The checklist adapts to common first-time visitor scenarios. Always verify visa, transit, and payment policies with official Chinese government sources before you fly.
