Are there any train services on silk road between Dunghuang & Turpan ? Past tourist travel brochures indicate you could catch an Overnight train ? From your Train search I was able to find most other train timetables for the destinations I wanted between Xian & Urumqi. However I could not find any train routes (timetable) running between Dunghuang & Turpan. Please indicated if any train runs between these two towns If not what is alternative transport between these two towns ?

Hi, it took them a rather long period of time which ranges many dynasties from Qin to Ming to finish this huge project. They built it to stop the invade from northern tribes in ancient China.

I am on the process of applying for my visa for your country. Do I need to get one for Tibet as well?
Jul. 2,2009 01:37
Ms.Abbey replied:
If you have booked the tour with a travel agency, the travel agency will handle the Tibet travel permit for you. You don’t need to acquire that and I think you cannot get it, as only it is only issued to the travel agency.

Mr.Pieter(South Africa) said:
Dear sir/madam, I have three questions, 1. I am planning to travel from Hanoi, Nanning, Kunming, Chengdu, Xian finally arriving at Beijing. I am under the impression that I should not have to much of a problem buying the tickets at the train station in Hanoi. The problem is that we do not have a fixed itinerary and booking in advance is therefore not an option. Could you give me an indication of the cost (US$) and time to travel the distance. 2. I would like to take a detour from Chengdu to Wuhan/Yichang to travel via Yangtze River through three Gorges, is it possible to take the train for the detour? Could you give me an indication of costs? 3. Lastly I am planning on traveling via the Trans-Siberia from Beijing, Ulaanbaatar, Irkutsk, Moscow, St Petersburg. Once again as fixing dates are not possible I cannot book in advance. Will I be able to purchase the tickets at the train station. Could you give me an indication of what the costs would be? Our travel dates are between May and June 2009. Thank you for taking the time to provide answers to my many questions. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Pieter

Mr.Del replied:
You should be sure to book the train in Hanoi at least a few days ahead of time to make sure you get what you want. Also there are not very many trains to China (I think 2 a day) You will be able to travel between just about any city by train, and there are always buses and sleeper buses. Booking trains ahead in China is nearly impossible. Its better that you are flexible. Most likely you will want to buy the ticket you need the day before or two days before or in some cases on the day of. Its usually not that big of a deal. Tickest usually average between 5-$50 depending on class. The train just from Beijing to Ulaanbatar is about 00, maybe a little bit more now. I'm not sure how much past UB, I haven't gone that far by train. Keep in mind how big China is and that most places are at least 12hours away by train (the trains go slowly here). For example, if you look on a map its a 9hr train from Beijing to Qingdao (6 fast train: more expensive) I think Chengdu to Beijing is 36-38hrs.
Hope this helps. Happy travels.

We have timed our first visit to China because of 2 remakable natural phenomena - total solar eclipse and the Qiantang tidal bore, how to get a good site to view both.
Jun. 30,2009 21:40
Ms.Betty Tong replied:
The best site to view the eclipse is located in Laiji, a small town near Hangzhou. It costs about 2 to 3 hours’ driving from the downtown area of Hangzhou to Laiji. The best time to see the eclipse is estimated at 9:00 to 10:00 am. This site is located on a mountain, the entry tickets and the hotels in Laiji have been fully booked several months ago, some even a year ago.
For the Qiantang Tide bore, it is a natural phenomenon that can not be exactly pre-estimated. The best time to see the Qiantang Tide bore is October 06 this year. It is said that there will be tide as well from the end of August to the middle of October. In addition, as the exact time can not be predicted, you need to spend a whole day there to wait for the possible occurrence of the tide bore.

Could you advice on the local currency? - Can we get local currency from the cash tills using our bank or credit cards? Can credit cards be used for shopping and in restaraunts?. Is it advisable to carry cash with us or draw from cash till when we need it?
Jun. 29,2009 04:28
Mr.Whatever replied:
Your card is now widely used in major city in China. but still, not all the place accept credit card such as gas station, small store, small resturaunt. but US card can be use at all ATM machines
good for you
Jun. 30,2009 21:13
Mr.Ken(China) replied:
You can withdraw local currency from the ATMs with your credit card as long as the symbols and logos of your credit card are shown on the ATMs. The ATMs are very common in large cities. It should be noted that different banks have different limits on the sum that can be withdrawn each time from the ATM, with most permitting a withdrawal of 20,000 Yuan in any day. Since the exchange rate will be converted automatically within the ATM working system, a certain amount of handling charge will be added to the cost.
Also you may exchange your currency and traveler's check at the banks, banks' cash centers at major airports and hotels. Credit cards can be used for shopping, dining and other transactions in most major Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Xian and Shanghai, but generally unacceptable in rural out-of-the-way areas and some small stores. Cash is more popular in China than in many Western countries, so it is important to carry enough cash and change at all times for your petty expenditure.

We wish to tak a tour of China in the month of December,2009. Please advise us on the weatgher conditions during this time of the year and the places that can be visited there.
Jun. 30,2009 02:56
Ms.Shelley replied:
December is a month of winter in China. Most places are cold. Especially, the Northeast and Northwest are much colder. However, the winter of the Northeast is very beautiful. Take Harbin for example. It's a city in Heilongjiang Province, the northeast of China. You will see much snow and go to visit the ski resort. However, if you don't like cold places, you may go to Haikou, Sanya or Kunming in the South China. These cities would be warmer than the north. Ps: Actually, the winter of North China is not so hard. Although it's cold outside, it's still very warm when you are in the hotel, as the hotels always provide air conditioners or heaters. BTW, I am from Xian. Welcome to Xian City!
