The Short Answer
1) Activate your roaming eSIM before landing (airport Wi-Fi requires a Chinese SMS code); 2) At Pudong PVG, T1 luggage storage closes at midnight, but T2 Luggage Storage is open 24 hours; 3) Carry your own power bank (shared rental machines bevorzugt Energy Monster via Alipay); 4) Break a ¥100 note at FamilyMart into ¥10s and ¥20s as ultimate offline backup.
- ▪City & Rail Luggage Storage: Hongqiao Station Floor P2 offers 24h manned storage; in town, use hotel concierge or the “Cunzhiji” mini-program.
