NOTE China time zone is ahead of (Z) GMT. Mapping MAPS.ME app works on smart phone but download offline map of China first. The map is not very detailed but at least you can see where you are. Google translate also works if you download the offline Chinese before going but does not work online. HotMail mostly worked but do not allow re-install. Correct as of 15/05/2016
