China

My husband and I are leaving in 2 wks to visit our daughter in Yangzhou. We fly into PVG and are finding conflicting info on whether or not there is a direct bus from PVG to Yangzhou. She tells us "I don't know how you and Dad will make it by yourselves in China" Hah! Makes us laugh, but on the other hand ... Anyone have any suggestions for us?

Hi there
we are very excited about heading to HK and China for 3 weeks tonight!!

a couple of quick questions.....

1) is it worth taking the LP with me? or is there a chance of it getting confiscated?? we are doing a tour, so will that be enough in terms of being able to find the best markets etc?

2) are there any restrictions in terms of carrying prescription medicine such as Voltaren, The Pill etc?

3) what about just OTC Mersyndol, Neurofen, antihistamines??

4) best way for a group of 3 to get from…

Hi,

I will be in China in July and am just wondering about taking in Macau at the end of my trip. Is it worth it? Any recommendations about places to go, stay etc. Any info would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if the ferry service is operating Fangchenggang, Guangxi to Guangzhou, Guangdong? If so, how frequent and how long does it take? Thanks alot.

We’ll be traveling around China for 15-20 days in September and then leaving the country to see a few other places. We’ll reenter China from Vietnam for another two weeks in December so we’ll be in the country for a total of 30-40 days. I know that we’ll need multiple entry visas (we’re planning on visiting Hong Kong as well) but I’m not sure how long the visa will be valid.

The Chinese embassy page lists this chart:

Number of Entry American Citizens of other countries

I’m sure that someone has asked this question but I haven’t been able to find it.

We already have our plane tickets to Asia but we’re planning on visiting several countries while there. We could buy individual tickets from various airlines or we could buy an air pass. I’ve found the following site which gives a pretty good overview of the air passes available: http://www.airtimetable.com/airpass_asia.htm<BR><BR>We’re going to Japan, China & Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand and Vietnam.

I started planning my 5 week trip here back in January. I bought the latest LP book, but have found out so much has changed that it is really out of date. Nothing against LP! I have so many books I should be a stock holder!

It is amazing at how fast China is changing. I have never seen so much construction in all my life, and in all my travels. Unreal. China is basically one huge construction zone. For better or worse.

Some of the shopping markets, in some cases, are now big holes in the…
