Alipay + eSIM before (or right after) landing

Two blockers stop most first-timers: no working data, and no way to pay. Fix both early.

Checklist

Install your eSIM or plan a SIM pickup before you leave the airport Wi‑Fi
Set up Alipay (and WeChat Pay if needed) with a supported foreign card where possible
Test a small payment once data works
Keep a backup offline map / hotel address in Chinese
