What is the easiest way from the airport to my hotel?
Compare airport rail, metro, official taxi, and ride-hailing against your landing time and luggage. Confirm the correct airport and terminal, last-train time, and a backup. Save the hotel name and entrance address in Chinese.
Can foreigners use DiDi in China?
Foreign visitors can often use the DiDi-Greater China app or ride-hailing inside Alipay or WeChat. Set up the account and payment method before arrival, enter the exact pickup point, and keep the destination in Chinese. At airports and large stations, follow the signed ride-hailing pickup area rather than waiting at the terminal door.
What does the free SeeChina pre-trip brief cover?
It organizes entry prep, payments, mobile access, airport or station transfer, and first-night essentials around your passport, chosen city, timing, and travel style—so you are not assembling that stack from scattered articles.
