Trip Checkup
Before you arrive in China, I’ll check your digital travel setup and help you spot the problems that commonly confuse foreign travelers.
Ready when you are
After purchase, we’ll connect on WhatsApp.
You’ll send me your travel dates, cities, arrival point, hotel information, phone setup, payment status, and any concerns you already have.
This gives me the context to check your China digital readiness properly.
I’ll review whether you are ready to pay in China using common options such as Alipay, WeChat Pay, international cards, and backup cash.
I’ll help you understand common payment failure scenarios, such as card issues, merchant restrictions, app problems, QR-code confusion, or small shops that may not support certain payment methods.
This does not guarantee that every payment will work, but it helps you prepare backup options before you arrive.
I’ll check whether you are ready for the essential apps and systems travelers often need in China, including:
You don’t need to master every Chinese app before your trip. The goal is to know what is ready, what is risky, and what might need support during your stay.
If you rely on WhatsApp, Gmail, Google, Instagram, YouTube, ChatGPT, Slack, or other overseas apps, I’ll help you check your internet access plan before you arrive.
I’ll review whether you have roaming, mobile data, VPN access, or backup options prepared.
VPN purchase and setup support can be added separately if needed. No specific internet access method can be guaranteed in China.
I’ll check your first hotel or arrival destination and help confirm the Chinese name, Chinese address, map location, and arrival risk.
This is especially useful because English hotel names and Chinese map results do not always match perfectly.
You’ll receive a Chinese address or message you can show to a driver, hotel, or local staff if needed.
After reviewing your information, I’ll send you a short personalized checkup report covering:
This is not a generic travel guide. It is based on your trip, your apps, your hotel, your phone setup, and your arrival situation.
You’ll receive simple Chinese messages you can copy and show to drivers, hotels, restaurants, shops, or staff.
These may include help with:
Alipay

Translation apps
Trip.com / high-speed rail basics
QR-code menus

This package is best if you are coming to China soon and want to know whether your digital setup is ready before arrival.
It is especially useful for first-time visitors, solo travelers, business travelers, and anyone worried about payments, apps, maps, VPN access, or Chinese addresses.
This is a pre-trip checkup, not live support during your trip.
It does not include real-time help after you arrive, live ride-hailing support, ordering food or coffee for you, booking tickets for you, customer service communication, or daily WhatsApp trip care.
If you upgrade to 7-Day Trip Care within 7 days, your $49 checkup fee will be credited toward the package.
