regarding the visa, do we really need to get NBI clearance even if we have all the other required documents?

Yes, sis. Better bring all required docs for a hassle-free visa application.

thanks sisses. i guess i need to bring din my old visa issued in 2005.

so excited kaso november pa ang trip

[mama squeak!]

^If you have the sticker type visa issued before no need for an NBI clearance then. Just bring your passport with the old visa.

halluuuu sissy's im back again sa GT hehe need to backread muna, kailangan ko gumawa kasi ng IT for my parents, sila lang kasing dalawa kaya dapat mas detailed para mas easier for them...ang main goal ko is saan sila mag sstay (na malapit sa lahat), and im thinking kung isama kuna lang sila sa group tour, medyo mahirap ata kung mag DIY sila... bare with me mga sissy's TIA

[sublime_79]

sisses, please correct me if im wrong but wouldn't it be better if i exchange PHP to CNY sa Czarina's. This way while spending the CNY in Beijing, it'll be easier to convert my expenses in PHP.

@mama Squeak- visa was issued in 2005 and naka dikit sa pasport parang US visa, yun ba yun sis?

mga sis ok kaya itong promo?

[mama squeak!]

^^Yup, that's the one   

Re CNY, if you can get here much better. If walang available get USD since mahirapan ka magpapalit ng PHP to CNY in Beijing.

Girls, I'll be travelling to Beijing in May with my 16-year old cousin. Are there side trips we can take out of Beijing? I've been reading about Xian, Datong and Chengde. Anyone who has been to any of these places? Thanks!

[thesoloist]

what if walang SSS contributions, TIN ID and ITR? I have SSS ID, COE, company ID, and NBI lang. thanks!

mga sis nag back read na ako dito sa thread.. pero wala pa den akong idea kung saan pang pwedeng mapag pilian na place to stay ang gusto ko lang naman is yung affordable and safe na tuluyan since most of the time nasa labas lang den naman... yung malapit den sana sa lahat like shopping area, and mga tourist spots na pwedeng lakad 2x or kung mag commute man malapit den sa MRT Station...

and ask kuna den mga sis, kasi alis ng parents ko sa April 15 to April 20, ano kaya weather nun that time??

If you want to be centrally located try for the hotels around the Wangfujing area. The subway is easily accessible plus walking distance yung main tourist sites like Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, etc. though they might be a bit expensive since nasa main tourist area ka.

[sublime_79]

hirap maghanap ng hotels with triple sharing. gusto ko sana yung novotel pero i find it expensive. if someone can recommend hotels na personally tried and tested, please share your reco originally gusto ko sana sa wangfujing pero most of the hotels in the area are expensive. i'm now checking the hotels near the beijing zoo, heheh you know what my motive is

Mga sisses, pupunta ako sa Beijing this first week of September. Autumn month daw sa kanila yun. Yung temperature is from 16.11°C up to 27.22°C based on Accuweather and historical data ng climate nila. Malamig na ba yun na pwede na akong mag-coat na may fur fur?? Hahaha! Trip ko kasi pumorma nang ganun kapag pumunta ako ng Beijing. Hehe.. 

Hoping may sumagot. Hehe.. 

[mama squeak!]

^sis, di pa gaanong kalamigan yun. Para ka lang naka-aircon. Carry na ang light sweater or jacket.

Kaso nakabook na kami for September. Autumn kasi. Ay sayang trip ko pa naman mag-coat na may fur fur or kahit little fur. Hahaha! Adik lang. 

Gusto ko kasi pumorma lalo na sa Great Wall for photo ops purposes. Kaso baka mukha naman akong ek ek kapag naka-coat lalo na may pagka-trekking ba yun? Hmmm.. ano kayang coat or porma ang bagay na hindi naman over?? Trench coat kaya, carry na kaya yun? Hayz. Usapang fashion.  ;-) Gusto ko kasi maganda itsura ko sa mga pics. Yung para talagang nasa ibang bansa. Haha. ;-) Sensya na mga sisses. May pag-lokaret talaga ako and medyo into pictures.

you can bring a sweater or two but no heavy jackets. I start using motorcycle jackets around october. BUT maybe you can get away with a stylish fleece jacket since great wall is colder than beijing. check on the weather 1 week before you go=)
