Checklist avant départ
Tout ce qu’il faut faire avant de partir en Chine.
Book China essentials before landing
Hotels that accept foreign passports, China train tickets with passport names, airport transfers, and a backup eSIM are the bookings most visitors should finish before they land.
Fix Alipay or WeChat Pay before landing, then save your First-day airport, train and hotel route offline.
Install TenPayGo before you fly
Tencent's new standalone iPhone app lets you pay at any Weixin Pay merchant in China with just a Visa or MC. No Chinese number, no mainland bank. 4-minute setup on home Wi-Fi. See the TenPayGo guide.
Avant de décoller
Préparez internet, paiements et réservations avant de partir pour les utiliser dès l’atterrissage.
After payment works
What to buy in China, how to refund tax, and what you can fly home with
Once Alipay or WeChat Pay works, the next risk is buying the wrong item, missing the tax refund window, or packing something airlines reject.
