01
Save names in both languages
An English attraction name is useful for planning. The Chinese name, exact branch and entrance are useful on the ground. Keep these together, and check the entrance against your actual reservation. A map search is a starting point, not proof of the right door.
02
Prepare a connected and an offline version
Work through payment, phone connectivity and transport before departure. Download your itinerary and try opening the file. Keep a separate copy of official booking confirmations; the itinerary does not replace them.
03
Make room for a change of plan
Weather, fatigue and temporary closures can alter a day. Choose the one experience that matters most, and treat the rest as optional. Avoid moving a confirmed booking just to fit an extra suggestion.
