    • Get a VPN (I can personally recommend LetsVPN or Astril, both are good) or if you get a HK sim, an esim like holafly, or a roaming plan for your current sim you should be able to use your data without being subject to the great firewall
    • If you have an iPhone then apple maps is pretty decent, Baidu maps is better but in chinese only afaik
    • Get a payment app. I used Alipay as it accepts overseas cards but I think WeChat accepts them now too.
    • Download WeChat anyways because its so useful and you never know when you might want to add someone
    • Make use of the conversation feature on google translate and make sure to download the language packs in case you don’t have internet for whatever reason
