In China, strict vegetarians should not rely on “no meat” alone. Check broth, oil, seasonings and small toppings, prepare a short Chinese vegetarian card, save restaurants before arrival and keep backup food for arrival and transfer days.
For China domestic flights, do not check only capacity. Check CCC/3C and Wh markings first, keep the power bank in carry-on luggage, use under-100Wh devices when possible, and pack it where security can inspect it quickly.
I used to treat a confirmed booking as the end of the hotel problem. After one transfer-night front desk delay, I now check whether the hotel can handle foreign passport check-in before I compare price.
