Students who have not yet confirmed long-term accommodation are advised to book a hotel for their first three to five nights in Shanghai.
This may be particularly helpful if you:
- do not yet have a Chinese mobile number;
- cannot complete identity verification through Suishenban;
- are waiting for confirmation of a TDLI‑coordinated rental; or
- wish to inspect a room before signing a long‑term rental contract.
For nearby hotel information, see:
Students should confirm current prices, availability, cancellation terms and check‑in requirements directly with the hotel.
