Thanks for the great report and great pictures!
For the bolded part above: not sure if you did, but I can't stress enough the importance of getting everyone on the bus going to the quarantine hotel/facility to form their own,
independent WeChat group.
It's slightly difficult to setup, especially if there's no other foreigners. There's time on the bus to do this, but not everyone will easily be convinced of its benefit, but once in your room, it's too late!
We did not have a community WeChat group during my 2021 quarantine, but did on my recent 2022 quarantine: makes a WORLD of difference, as there's usually at least one person knowledgeable & willing to help with any particular query....not to mention the camaraderie!!!
(I used the built-in WeChat translate feature to read messages, and used another translator program to reply....worked perfectly!)
