Travel & Accommodation

Placeholder — add recommended hotels, a room block code, or notes for guests traveling internationally (e.g. visa reminders for guests coming from abroad).

Travelling to China

A short guide for guests flying in from abroad. These are practical pointers — always double-check official sources for your nationality and travel dates.

Visa

Most visitors need a Chinese visa in advance. Apply through your local Chinese embassy or consulate; processing can take weeks.
Do not plan the wedding stay around the 144-hour transit visa-free policy — it is limited, airport-specific, and easy to misread.
Confirm your passport validity (usually 6+ months) before you book.

WeChat

Download WeChat before you fly — App Store / Play Store access can be awkward once you arrive.
Join our wedding WeChat group for updates and day-of coordination.
Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, and many Western apps are often blocked or unreliable without a working connection strategy.

Payments

International cards work at some hotels and larger venues, but everyday life runs on WeChat Pay and Alipay.
Cash is uncommon for daily purchases. Ask us in the WeChat group if you need help linking a payment method.

Flights

Fly into Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN).
The wedding is Saturday, December 19th, 2026 — we recommend arriving at least a day early so you can settle in. (Exact arrival window TBD.)

Getting around

The venue is in Panyu District. Ride-hailing (Didi) and most taxis expect WeChat Pay or Alipay.
Guangzhou Metro is excellent if you are comfortable with maps; have the venue address ready in Chinese.

Connectivity

Check whether your phone carrier supports roaming in mainland China, or arrange a China-working eSIM / local SIM.
Hotel Wi‑Fi is usually available; still plan for mobile data for maps and WeChat on the go.

Maps

International guests: Google Maps often works poorly in mainland China — keep a screenshot of the venue address.
In China, Amap (高德地图) is the reliable option.
