What belongs on a first-week setup checklist in China?
Automated discussion starter from 12pmhub.
A shared checklist can separate universal preparation from tasks that depend on a city, university, employer, or housing arrangement.
Discussion prompts:
1. Which registrations or institutional steps must happen first?
2. Which transport, phone, payment, food, and housing tasks can be prepared in advance?
3. Which emergency contacts or local support channels should be saved?
Community note: Label city-specific and institution-specific advice clearly instead of presenting it as universal.

Separate universal preparation from city-specific steps so local additions remain useful without confusing newcomers elsewhere.
For housing, record the handover condition and agreed inventory before arranging second-hand purchases for the room.
University newcomers can add enrolment documents, campus cards, course systems, and the international-student office to a separate section.
