Left an item at a hotel, restaurant or attraction

Contact the actual property, not just a booking platform or a chain's general office. Properties with similar translated names can be far apart.

Identify the exact venue

Provide its full name and address, visit or stay dates, reservation name and room, table or locker number if applicable. Describe the last location precisely: bedside socket, bathroom hook, restaurant seat or security tray. A receipt or booking can identify the branch.

Ask the right team to check

At a hotel, ask reception to coordinate with housekeeping and security. At an attraction, use guest services and identify the ride or area. Shanghai Disney's official page distinguishes park, non-park and resort-hotel inquiries; do not assume one desk covers all venues.

Keep proof private

Send a description and a photo of the item, not an unredacted passport or booking confirmation in a public comment. Ask for a reference and agreed follow-up time. If staff say it was moved, request the receiving office's name and official contact.

Arrange collection only after confirmation

Check whether the venue accepts a named representative or a courier, what documents it needs and how long it will hold the item. If you are abroad, confirm the item and shipping eligibility before buying delivery. A promise to check a room is not confirmation of a find.

A message you can send in Chinese

Replace the brackets with your details. Share only what is necessary through a verified channel. This is an enquiry, not a letter of authorization.

Official references

Independent practical guidance, not an official service. Operator-specific examples do not apply everywhere; confirm current requirements with the actual holding office or carrier.
