Yes, you must complete your quarantine in the first country that you arrive in within China and there is no choice in the hotel that is assigned to you. If you don’t have WeChat then don’t worry. Make sure that you have a credit card on hand for the charges.

If your airplane ticket already includes your final destination then you can call the airlines to reschedule your flight to Shanghai once you are about to finish your quarantine. Just an fyi, you may have to do another 7 to 14 days of quarantine since you are travelling from another province and not flying directly to Shanghai. You can freely go out but you may not be allowed to begin work until you take another test for COVID and have completed the 7 or 14 day quarantine period. Check with your workplace to find out more information.

Let me know if you have more questions. It sounds like a lot to do but it’s very well organized so don’t worry.

What city you are in currently?

Can we swap WeChat ID, if it’s ok for you?

My ID is rbluelover (It is not my suggestion , it is my school’s administrator’s spare ID 😉

Hi Quresh,

Great news! So happy to know that you made it safely to Shanghai. Just keep busy and the time will go by quickly especially when you start approaching the middle of your quarantine. I hope it was a good flight and overall smooth process. Let me know if you have any other questions or advice. 🙂

So far so good.

Hi Melindi,

I don’t think it’s allowed. I’ve heard that couples (married/unmarried) have had problems trying to be in one room. Maybe if you give a valid reason then they may hopefully consider it. People tend to have different experiences so give it a try but be prepared.

I don’t think you’ll have access to shops once you arrive at the airport. If you do then it maybe once you arrive at baggage claim,
you can ask someone. I’ve heard that people ordered a Chinese sim from Amazon prior to travelling or Taobao once you arrive. Maybe the people at the hotel can help you to order a sim card and have it delivered to the hotel. It depends on the province and airport that you arrive at.

Hope that helps but unfortunately I only heard that information from others who were in a similar situation.

Hi there, thanks for this.
Can one quarantine with a friend, like if a friend and I are travelling together?
How does one obtain a sim in these circumstances?

Hi Quresh,

You’re welcome.

No, I mean the Invitational letter that your job will provide which explains the purpose of the trip.

I haven’t started teaching yet but I’ll head to work after the holiday and begin.

Great! I look forward to hearing from you and I’m sure everything will go smoothly. Let me know if you have any questions going forward.

Thank you so much.

When you say Invitational letter (do you mean PU letter)?

I will contact you once I am in China.

Have you gone back to teaching?
