Visa for China
in Travel Agencys 1-5 days, ca. 350-200 HK$, in the Consulate more days and
100 HK$
We used China Travel
Service HongKong, 27-33 Nathan Road, Kowloon. Tel. 2315 7188 for Visa
and fly booking
For China Remember
Get some local cash before entering China, we had problems getting money with
Credit Card or Bancomat (Maestro) - only one Bank change dollars - ask in
your Hotel, they maybe change money (American Dollars). HK$ in touristic places
are accepted.
Pay the airport tax (~50 CNY) on chinese airports before ckeck-in.
Prepare the most important phrases in Chinese Signs - you will need them to
cumminicate better.
