Do I need my hotel address in Chinese?
Last updated Jul 12, 2026
Prepare the hotel details you will need on arrival
Confirm the destination text you have. The check creates a driver card only from verified Chinese details and otherwise gives you a verification checklist.
What counts as verified
Use details supplied by the lodging property or by the booking provider for that reservation. Confirm the property name, street address, district or city, and phone number together. Do not treat machine-translated text as a verified hotel address.
How to get it
- Check the reservation confirmation for property-supplied Chinese details.
- If they are missing, contact the hotel or booking provider and ask them to confirm the Chinese name, full address, and front-desk phone number.
- Compare any map result with that confirmation; do not substitute a similar-looking property or translated brand name.
Use it
- Show the confirmed details to the official taxi desk or use them to verify the destination selected in a ride-hailing app.
- Keep an offline copy and the booking-provider contact path in case the driver or front desk needs clarification.
