# China: A Note to Self, 2026 📃

Writing this for myself.

1. Fill in the arrival card before departure [https://s.nia.gov.cn/ArrivalCardFillingPC/](https://s.nia.gov.cn/ArrivalCardFillingPC/)

2. Install:

 a) LetsVPN [https://d1gx3j8kwj94us.cloudfront.net/](https://d1gx3j8kwj94us.cloudfront.net/)
 b) Alipay
 c) DiDi

5. If you've made it to this point and everything works, Chinese is now your second language. (Points 3 and 4 were lost somewhere behind the Great Firewall.)

6. Welcome to China 🇨🇳
