What to Do in Your First 24 Hours After Landing in Shanghai

1. 网络：确认 eSIM 或国际漫游能正常使用。一切依赖网络。
2. 支付：在机场便利店或咖啡店测试一笔小额支付。
3. 进城：地铁、磁浮或出租车，按你的时间和行李选择。
4. 入住：放好行李，确认酒店 WiFi 能用。
5. 保存周边：用高德地图标记酒店、最近的便利店、最近的地铁站。
6. 轻量观光：如果还有精力，去酒店附近走走，不要跑太远。

1. Internet: confirm your eSIM or international roaming works. Everything depends on being online.
2. Payment: test a small payment at an airport convenience store or coffee shop.
3. City transfer: metro, Maglev, or taxi depending on your time and luggage.
4. Check in: drop your bags, confirm the hotel WiFi works.
5. Save nearby essentials: use AMap to pin your hotel, nearest convenience store, nearest metro station.
6. Light sightseeing: if you still have energy, walk around your hotel area. Do not go too far.

很多人一落地就急着去景点。但如果网络不通、支付没测、酒店地址没存，后面每一步都会更慢。

• 没网络 → 打不开地图、打不开翻译、联系不上酒店。
• 没测支付 → 到了餐厅才发现付不了钱。
• 没存酒店地址 → 打车时说不清去哪里。

花 30 分钟把基础确认好，比花 2 小时在焦虑中赶景点更值。

Many people rush to sightseeing the moment they land. But if internet does not work, payment is untested, and the hotel address is not saved, every subsequent step becomes slower.

• No internet → cannot load maps, translation, or contact the hotel.
• Untested payment → discover you cannot pay at the restaurant.
• No saved hotel address → cannot tell the driver where to go.

Spending 30 minutes confirming the basics is worth more than 2 hours of anxious sightseeing.

• 确认酒店 WiFi 能用（作为 eSIM 的备用）。
• 用高德地图标记酒店位置，保存酒店中文名称。
• 找到最近的便利店和地铁站，截图保存。
• 把酒店地址的中文版存在手机备忘录里，打车时直接给司机看。

这些信息在你手机没网时就是救命的离线备份。

• Confirm the hotel WiFi works (as backup for your eSIM).
• Pin your hotel location in AMap and save the Chinese name.
• Find the nearest convenience store and metro station, take screenshots.
• Save the hotel's Chinese address in your phone notes for taxi drivers.

This information becomes your lifeline when your phone loses connectivity.
