Jinjiang Hotels WiFi Portal Guide | Generated by AI
The Jinjiang Hotels WiFi portal (https://portal.jinjianghotels.com.cn/) is a captive portal designed for on-site access only—it’s not fully publicly crawlable outside the hotel network, which is why direct browsing often returns empty or error pages. Based on user reports and guides, here’s a breakdown of its typical “route” structure (meaning the main URL paths/endpoints) and how to access them. This is common for Vienna Hotels (a Jinjiang brand) and similar chains in China.
Main Route and Access Method
- Primary Route: The root path
/(i.e., https://portal.jinjianghotels.com.cn/ or http://portal.jinjianghotels.com.cn/).- This is the landing page that loads automatically when you try to access any non-HTTPS website while connected to the hotel WiFi.
- How to Access:
- Connect your device to the hotel’s WiFi SSID (e.g., “ViennaHotel”, “Jinjiang_Free”, or “Vienna_Free_WiFi”—no password needed initially).
- Open a web browser and navigate to any HTTP site (e.g., http://neverssl.com or http://172.16.16.1—the local gateway IP mentioned in your first query).
- You’ll be redirected to the portal’s root
/page. If it doesn’t auto-redirect, manually enterhttp://172.16.16.1or the portal URL (use HTTP, not HTTPS, as captive portals often block or ignore HTTPS).
- The page is in Chinese but simple: It shows hotel branding, terms of use, and login buttons. Use browser translation (e.g., Chrome’s built-in) for English.
Known Subroutes/Paths
The portal uses a minimal structure—mostly a single-page app with form submissions rather than deep subpaths. No public docs list all endpoints, but from user videos and troubleshooting reports, common ones include:
- SMS Login Path: Handled via a form on the root
/(no separate/smssubroute; it’s a POST request to an internal endpoint like/auth/smsor similar).- How to Access/Use: On the main page, click the SMS button (短信验证). Enter your phone number (+86 for China, or international format). A code arrives via SMS; submit it to authenticate. Access expires after 24 hours.
- Social Login Paths: Links or iframes to third-party endpoints, e.g.:
- Weibo/QQ login: Redirects to
/oauth/weiboor/oauth/qq(temporary subroutes for auth callback). - How to Access: Click the respective social button on the root page; it opens a popup or redirects briefly.
- Weibo/QQ login: Redirects to
- Other Potential Subroutes (inferred from similar systems; not confirmed for Jinjiang):
/termsor/agreement: For viewing full terms (linked from main page footer)./logout: To disconnect manually (rarely used).- Error paths like
/erroror 404 for invalid access.
If you’re on-site and need to inspect subroutes (e.g., for dev tools), open browser dev console (F12) on the portal page—it may reveal AJAX calls to endpoints like /api/verify for SMS submission.
Troubleshooting Access
- No Redirect? Clear browser cache, forget/rejoin WiFi, or toggle mobile data briefly.
- International Phone? Works for most, but codes may delay—ask front desk for a shared code.
- Security Note: All traffic routes through the hotel’s gateway (172.16.16.x range), so use VPN post-login.
