I want to get a phone sim card but the stores only opens at 5:30am. Would it be possible if I were to wait till 5:30 to get a sim card and then grab a taxi or use didi to get to the train station and be on time? Or should I get the sim card before I arrive at the airport? Also, aside from a passport and a Chinese visa, are there any other documents that I need to bring? Thanks!

It takes about 70 mins from the airport to the railway station by taxi, so I'm afraid time is too tight if you depart after 5:30 since you need to arrive at the station at least 40 mins in advance. It is suggested to get a sim card before you arrive at the airport and no other documents are needed.

Thanks Nancy! do you know if there is any phone vendors opened before 7am at the railway station?
