Yes, taxi, bus and metro are very convenient for use both in Hong Kong and in Macau. It is suggested that you arrive in Macau a little earlier so that you could do some traveling before lunch. Yes, one day is enough for visiting Macau.

Hi, I am Gunawan from Indonesia, I need some advice on how to go to Nanyang King's Gate hotel from airport by bus. If using a taxi how much is the cost ? Thanks
Nov. 14,2009 03:50
Mr.Leo replied:
Is it the Nanyang King's Gate Hotel in Guangzhou City? If it is, please take the airport shuttle bus Line 5 from Baiyun Airport to its terminal in downtown Guangzhou firstly. And then, hire a cab driving to the hotel in 10 minutes with a fare of about 10~15RMB.
If you take a cab from the airport to the hotel directly, the fare is around 100RMB.

Mr.John replied:
As far as I know, you should have married for more than 5 years and constantly live in China for 5 year (no less than 9 months very year). There are several other conditions. If you belong one of them, you can apply for PR. Suggest you make an inquiry to immigration administration of Shenyang.

Visa on site is available for Chinses, isn't, but need visa record of the third country first. Generally speaking, you can apply for Indonsia Visa at Singapore. Your plan is next, you have enough time to do this, why not handle it in advance in Fuzhou?

how much would a city tour cost in Shanghai? (Quote in RMB)
Is it a one day TOUR or takes more days.
Recommend a good Tour organiser who will take us to an Indian Restaurant for food.
Please quote along the Tour cost along with food and dinning.

It depends on where are going for the one day tour. To visit Shanghai, I think one day is not enough. :-)
