First 7 Days in China: What to Arrange and in What Order
The first days in China almost always look the same: you’ve arrived, everything around operates via smartphones, addresses are best shown in Chinese, and many daily tasks (from payments to taxis) revolve around WeChat and Alipay.

Universal Greetings for All Occasions: Short Phrases for WeChat
On WeChat, greetings are typically kept short. Long texts are used less frequently—usually just 1–2 lines, sometimes with emojis.
