If anyone has a NUS Extra card, they should get hold of an annual YHA membership through the NUS website for only £2.50. The hostels in Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen are not only excellent value, but also in superb locations. Membership out there will cost you £14 www.yha.org.uk/membership There are two codes one for adults and one for under 26. Use the one for adults. On YHA click to pay annually not direct debit and enter the code at checkout. The price will reduce to £2.50 and you will be able to pay on PayPal.

To be fair, judging by your own near expert knowledge, I think you should have your own travel guide programme too 😀

CHINA VISA - SOME FREE OPTIONSAn option, worth considering, is using the FREE transit visa in Beijing and Shanghai airports upon arrival. However, in this scenario, you must be departing to a destination OUTSIDE of China. So, using China air Heathrow to Bangkok or Hanoi etc. In theory, you can stop-over up to six days in a number of cities (Beijing and Shanghai and a few cities nearby) and as long as you pick up a Chinese visa in Bangkok/Hanoi - even travel around the country as well (including Nanning) on your way back. Also, dont confuse the five-day Shenzhen visa on arrival (VOA) which costs Y185 for EU and Australians etc or ... Y316 for British ... with the bonded ferry FROM Hong Kong to Shenzhen airport directly... The first, allows you 5 days to roam around Shenzhen ( FROM HK), and the second only allows you to catch a bus to the port and then a direct ferry TO SHENZHEN AIRPORT. It is DOES NOT work in the reverse, into Hong Kong! I will try to clarify China visa situation this weekend... Sincere apologies if I have mislead anyone. After further research, the FREE 6-day visa DOES NOT apply for Beijing. It is only applicable for Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. 144 hours Visa free in Shanghai is measured starting at midnight after your arrival. Obviously, Beijing DOES qualify you for the 72-hour visa FREE (measured scheduled arrival to scheduled departure), along with a whole host of other cities, including GUILIN... 3-day visa free cities are: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Harbin, Shenyang, Dalian, Xian, Guilin, Kunming, Wuhan, Xiamen, Tianjin, Nanjing, Qingdao, Changsha and Hangzhou. See this - www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa/free-72hour/ HONG KONG and MACAU ARE CONSIDERED INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONSFor the purposes of obtaining a visa-free entry AND - more importantly - a cheap Chinese Visa in Hong Kong in Macau! Thus, a Air China ticket UK-Beijing-Hong Kong (with possible open-jaw) Back: Hong Kong - Shanghai-UK Will allow you up to 3-days in Beijing or up to 5-days in shanghai visa-free on way to HK, then get Chinese visa in HK, enter Nanning (up to 30 days) and then get a similar visa-free stay in Beijing/Shanghai on way back! www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g294211-c188665/China:Visa.Free.Transits.html Finally, this is a very recent thread about HAVING A TURKISH ENTRY STAMP IN YOUR PASSPORT since January, 2015? Over the last two years many travelers have been denied a visa with such a stamp - be warned! www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forums/asia-north-east-asia/china/heads-up-visa-application-information-requirement-changed BE SURE TO GET THE PHOTO THING RIGHT!Just been filling my visa application out- don't stress to much about the photo- there's a box on the application form for you to attach it to. I've Used a normal passport photo and trimmed it down slightly.

FOR HONG KONG RETURN FLIGHTS OUT OF BIRMINGHAM IN MID MARCHAlthough I'd recommend waiting until the January Sales for Lufthansa flights that were around £380 return last month ... If anyone wants to make their bookings now, then both Air France (CDG) and Swiss (Zurich) have a decent 60-90 minute stop-over in each direction with late evening departures out of Birmingham Int - PRICE AROUND £450 Are the January sales an actual thing when it comes to flights? I've just checked my preferred flights (with Qatar) and they have gone up £10 in the last week.

I've just checked my preferred flights (with Qatar) and they have gone up £10 in the last week. With the exception of Cathay Pacific, which regularly announce Sales as well as regularly hike them up dramatically ... I'd say its more down to how flexible one is with the airline/date/route etc. I have been looking at www.faredetective.com/farehistory/ - and the general trend was VERY low in November up until Black Friday and then a steady increase, which tends to (slightly) drop again in January. As for Quatar / Emirates / Etihad - I'd say they are the most competitive in the market year-round, so they don't need to respond to Sales from others. BE SURE TO ALSO look out for discount vouchers as well as Cash-back sites (up to 2% / £15 cash-back) such as Quidco TopCashBack ... Some of you might want to join the fee paying cash-back club at www.completesavings.co.uk/frequently-asked-questions As long as you buy anything (of any value) monthly, the £15 fee gets waived. The best thingt about this club is that almost all airlines (and almost all sales/stores/hotels etc) offer 10% CASH BACK worth considering re-booking your hotels if you do join them... Personally, I am super-flexible with dates/routes - but i do realise that the majority on here are not.

Going to start it this week Yes I've filled mine out- I went through the official chinese embassy site. The form itself isnt too bad- you need an address in China to fill in so If you haven't booked any accommodation yet I would advise to get on booking.com or something with free cancellation. You also need a photo -as Manulike put in his post above. I'm going to the office in London to submit mine on Thursday so I'll let you know what happens!

Agoda.com have just released some extra rooms at the 7Days Inn branch at Chaoyang Square (Renmin Zhong / People's Middle Rd). Note, that its NOT the People's Park one... GOOGLE MAP7Days Inn is equivalent to our Ibis Budget range - clean, modern - but small and basic. What I particularly like about this branch is not only is it a mere 3-minutes away from Chaoyang metro Exit A, but the hotel itself only occupies the 13th and 14th floors of the building - so you get sweeping views and very little traffic noise (windows are double glazed, apparently, as well). Doubles cost is Y146 /night about £16. TRY THIS LINK

It's all pretty painless (apart from the cost!). She picked up a gap in my itinery straight away- I told her that I may go to HK but was undecided- she made me fill out a declaration that that was what I was doing - they want every night you're in China accounted for. They are friendly and quite helpful though. You need to give them all your hotel confirmation forms and your flight itinary You can do it all by post, obviously at extra cost- I only went to the office because I'm going away soon and didn't want any delays. They still charged me the full postage price just for having it sent back.

Yeah that's right - they're not interested in where you're staying once you're in HK. If you're going to Hong Kong first is it not better for you to get a visa there? I think it works out a lot cheaper.

I thought about that but I think I may want to go back in the next two years to visit other areas like the Great Wall, so may as well get the two year visa plus saves worrying about getting it out there haha Cheers for the info mate

VISA UPDATEFor those that have 10 days or so to spare and are flying into any of these destinations, prior to China. These are the up-to-date and 100% confirmed prices and availability - all prices herein are for 30-day single entry visa. Also, All Chinese consulates will be officially closed on Friday 16/2 and Monday 19/2 - re-opening on Tuesday 20 Feb. Also note, that if you are going from Nanning to Hong Kong / Macau and then back to China (Shenzhen/Guangzhou etc) you will need a double entry visa - most of the consulates, below, will offer you that for 50% extra (US$45 in Cambodia/Vietnam and US$75 in Thailand/Malaysia). Finally, remember that the Chinese write the date as yyyy-mm-ddSo either write 2018/01/06 OR 06 JANUARY 2018 : PHNOM PENH To the best of my knowledge, this is the cheapest place to get the visa on a UK passport!
No problems at all, as long as you have your hotel confirmations in mainland China for all the days of your stay and your flight itinerary in/out of Hong Kong/Macau is also acceptable - PRINTED OUT. Cost for UK passport holder is the same as everyone else (with the only exception being US passports) US$30 / £22. NOTE - you must have the US$30 in actual dollars!
HONG KONG and MACAUNo problems at all. Without doubt, the easiest place on earth to get the visa. I have got mine here at least a dozen times. In person, at the embassy. As long as you have your hotel confirmations in mainland China for all the days of your stay and your flight itinerary in/out of Hong Kong/Macau is also acceptable, as well as a copy of your passport information page AND the page with your current entry visa (if you have a PREVIOUS CHINESE VISA - then a copy of that passport as well!) - PRINTED OUT. It is good practice to have a photocopy of your travel insurance policy, as well! Cost for UK passport holders HK$360 / £33 ; other passports (but not US/Canada) HK$200 / £18 - confirmed via email MALAYSIA: The Consulates in Penang (newly opened and super friendly!) and Kuching are really relaxed and welcoming. The onle in KL is hectic, but faster at processing...

Some recent reports suggesting it is now fairly easy again, but far too changeable... www.nomadasaurus.com/getting-a-chinese-visa-in-hanoi-vietnam/ Not entirely sure that the US$30 fee also applies to a UK passport SINGAPORES$110 / £61

Hi, Can anyone tell me what I need to put in the box that says local id/citizenship number on the Chinese visa form?? Also would I be right in just ticking that I am a post graduate if I am in employment as the only other tick option is to say that I am in collage.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Also would I be right in just ticking that I am a post graduate if I am in employment as the only other tick option is to say that I am in collage. Any help would be appreciated Thanks There are a couple of example guidelines by the official service here and hereThey love paperwork. The more, the better. So avoid writing N/A if you can help it. Add a photocopy of your travel insurance policy (or health insurance, if you dont have one). If you have a brand new or newish passport, they get a little suspicious, so best to add a character reference or letter from employer in that case. If you have already been to china on a different passport, then add a copy of that passport's main page + chinese visa page - this is actually helpful! Remember, if you have been to Turkey in the last three years, you should consider including a letter explaining why you went and what you did there. Copies of football tickets could be useful. Finally, remember that the Chinese write the date as yyyy-mm-dd So either write 2018/01/06 OR 06 JANUARY 2018

Post by manulike on Jan 7, 2018 16:01:03 GMT
SHORT STAY IN HONG KONG, JUST BEFORE NANNINGThe simple answer is, YES - comfortably. The most hassle free option is really doing it yourself! Avoid using CTS service, but if you must use a Travel Agent then use Forever Bright - they add an extra $300 service fee to prices below. PLEASE NOTE NEW PRICE INCREASE AS OF 22 JANUARY 2018 TO CIRCA £100I'd recommend arriving to HK by Sunday 18 March, but even if you only land on the Monday evening, you can still make it over to Nanning comfortably for the Thursday 22nd match - I think its a 8pm local time KO (noon UK time). As long as you submit your visa application in by TUESDAY MORNING " RUSH SERVICE" ($660 / £60 for UK passport $500 if other passport) is the fastest option, basically a 24-hour service. 2 working day (including the submission day. e.g. If visa application is submitted on the morning of Monday (0900-1200), collection time is on the morning of Tuesday; If visa application is submitted on the afternoon of Monday (1400-1700), collection time is on the afternoon of Tuesday). It is $560 for a 48-hour " EXPRESS SERVICE". To be able to benefit from the REGULAR SERVICE (4th working day) you should submit on Thursday for Tuesday collection (£32 for Brits, £18 for others). DIRECT HONG KONG TO NANNING BUS
Bus from Metropark Hotel Mongkok, Kowloon to Nanning Langdong Dept 7pm arrive 7.30am HK$420 (£39) Operated by CTS HK - I find it difficult to recommend CTS though and wouldn't really relay on them...
IF NOT STAYING OVER NIGHT IN GUANGZHOU
The least amount of hassle is taking the KCR direct train from Hung Hom Kowloon to Guangzhou EAST station for $210 / £20. As long as you get to the HK Hung Hom station by 10am at the latest, you can catch the 10:52 to Guangzhou. From here, you can catch the 14:06 train to Nanning East station arriving at 18:16. TOTAL COST $210 + Y178 = £40 SPENDING A FEW HOURS IN GUANGZHOU
If you prefer not to take the bullet train and, instead, to take the VERY SLOW over-night sleeper train from Guangzhou East to Nanning departing at 17:25 and arriving to Nanning Central at 0600 (Y196 for a sleeper coupe) . Depending on how early you leave HK, this should give you a decent 5-7 hours in Guangzhou. IF YOU FANCY A DAY IN GUANGZHOUThen the easier station to connect to/from is Guangzhou East. Take the Metro (line 1) from there to FANGCUN station (12 stops) the best location/value hostel, the Guangzhou RIVERSIDE Youth Hostel (member/non-member Y65/Y75 or Y238 double). Take exit B1, turn right and go down a back lane to Luju Lu to Changdi Jie, turn right and walk 200m. If you are a little more adventurous. get off one stop earlier, at the Huangsha station and walk towards the river to Huangsha pier then take the passenger only ferry across to Fangcun pier (Y1, 5 mins). Ther hostel is immediately in front of you!
