China Travel Guide II

[prettypurple08]

mga sis baka may ma-suggest kyo na itinerary na ok, practical and mura...i want to go to shanghai and beijing but i don't know kung ano mag practical na unahin puntahan...TIA!

[marief2rnurse]

di naman problem ma approve sis. patience lang pumila hehe and make sure complete docs

ano po ba requirements if i'm not working?

[unicahija7]

From my research, there's a high probability of the Chinese government granting tourist visas. They almost always give visas. Like I have a friend, twice sya bumalik sa embassy. The embassy called her up twice din to advise her kung anong documents pa kulang and such. So, she just had to submit the docs she was lacking then she was granted a visa na. Fresh grad. Wala pang 6mos sa work.

[lakwatsa]

hindi pa rin ba nagbibigay ng visa sa HK-Shenzhen border? gusto ko sana pumunta ng Shenzhen e.

[rhumbafrapp]

hi! i hope somebody here can help me. I will be in china for 8days7nights
Tour kami, we are going sa Xiamen and Fuzhou.

Ifever, may mga shopping areas ba dun? i was under the impression kasi *sabi ng sister ko* na mala-province daw kasi.
I hope meron mga parang 168, SASA doon?

I am excited, kahit madami kami sa tour organized by my alma  mater (about 60 people) i think may time na parang free day so pwede kami mag ikot ng mga friends ko (5 kami)

kung group tour yan, expect na kunti lang free time niyo. Unless of course may days na hindi kayo sasama sa tour. My mom tried sa Panda agency yun tour dati, kunti lang din free time. Ako I tried New Era Agency sa tour dati, kunti lang din. Nakapunta ako Xiamen last OCtober, pero mga 2 night 2 days lang kami doon. Wala ako nakitang Sasa, pero baka sa ibang parts meron. We stayed sa Brightel Hotel kasi, ang meron doon is may parang street doon na puro street food.

^ hi sis! thanks for the reply, i appreciate it talaga. School organized tour  yun e, but kaming mga oldies, hehe, magiging pasaway and baka di namin samahan lahat OR tatakas kami. Di pa sure, pero naguusap kami about shopping with some organizers and parang  ok lang yata

hindi pa rin ba nagbibigay ng visa sa HK-Shenzhen border? gusto ko sana pumunta ng Shenzhen e.

sa hk website, available yun 144-hour visit to China (but I think sa Shenzhen lang). Try mo na lang apply doon. Meron kasi ako nabasa sa ibang forum, yun tao nagapply sa border, nabigyan naman. siguro case to case basis, and it's really up to the immigration officer if they'll grant you or not.

ano po ba requirements if i'm not working?

rt ticket, app form, 2x2 picture white background, hotel voucher. If not working, fresh grad ka ba? or kakaresign lang or housewife? KAilangan kasi makita ng embassy na you have financial capability to travel to China.

meron din ba nadedeny ng visa for shanghai?

of course! Kapag illegal worker ka doon or blacklisted sa China. The same goes with all the countries naman e.

mga sis baka may ma-suggest kyo na itinerary na ok, practical and mura...i want to go to shanghai and beijing but i don't know kung ano mag practical na unahin puntahan...TIA!

Ano interests mo? You should build your itenerary based on your interests. I can suggest trip to museums, kaso if hindi mo hilig, wala din. If practical and mura, I suggest you go diy. Don't join group tour. Sayang oras, sayang pera. You can stay sa youth hostels, if hindi ka naman choosy, meron mga dorm type na bed 50-60rmb per night, shared lang nga shower room. Beijing is more on historical sites, if mahilig ka sa chinese history, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Pero if katulad mo ako na as in 0% interest sa china history, SUPER DUPER MABORED ka, which is nangyari sa akin (yun tipong masgusto ko mag-aral for exams kasi pumunta sa historical sites sa beijing). Beijing also has lots of gardens. Wala na ako maisip, kasi hindi ko talaga naenjoy stay ko sa Beijing dati nung nag-aral ako dati. So most of the time sa dorm lang ako. Sa shanghai, of course, if mahilig ka sa modern stuff and mga malls, pwede ka dito. Meron din sila outlet malls.

Hi mga sis! Ask ko lang yung sa tourist visa. I'm a housewife for 2 years. May same ba na situation with me? eh i'm not travelling with my husband. So alam niyo ba ano mga requirements for tourist visa( 1st timer)? Im currently here din sa Singapore..holding a dependent pass kasi hubby ko dito work. Eh [textspeak!] sila nagbibigay ng visa sa pinoy dito don't know why....So balak ko umuwe at jan mag submit ng requirements..thanks mga sis...

rt ticket, app form, 2x2 pic, hotel voucher,sss id. If housewife ka, sponsor letter na lang from your husband. tapos financial documents niya like bank statement, and employment certificate na rin niya. And attached NSO copy of your marriage contract para alam ng visa officer na mag-asawa talaga kayo.

I've been to xiamen twice, ang shopping area na napuntahan lang namin eh doon sa gilid ng Lujiang Harborview Hotel. nakita ko lang doon na branded armani, esprit, bossini. di ko maalala kung may sasa doon. parang ka-price din nila ang HK, hindi ako masyado ng-shopping dito sa xiamen kasi konti lang choices eh. 

[iYaMoTo]

Pwede po ba maki join dito?

Nagbabakasyon ako ngayon sa Bantian Shenzhen china almost 3months na ako dito! 

[iluvescadasport]

^nagpa-extend ka ng visa sa china?

[iYaMoTo]

oo sis nag pa-extend ako! pero 2months lang binigay sakin kung gusto ko pa daw mag tagal kailangan daw sa labas ako ng china mag pa-extend (pwede daw sa HK o kaya sa pinas) hanggang 2months lang daw yung binibigay nila. 

[iluvescadasport]

^ah okay. mabilis lang pala magextend doon. hindi pa magastos na 3 months ka na doon? Or meron naman kayo relatives doon?

[iYaMoTo]

oo sis mabilis lang.. nandito kasi nakatira sister ko kasi dito nagwowork hubby nya.. kumuha lang kami police clearance tapos punta na kami agad sa Chinese embassy tapos ayon.. after 4days nakuha ko na agad passport ko.
