How far is Datong from Beijing? would it be too much time and cost to do a 1 day visit by car from Beijing to the Yungang buddhist caves, then fly from Beijing to Xian?
Aug. 18,2009 04:38 Ms.Ashish replied:
According to the information I searched on the website, it is about 374 kilometers between Beijing and Datong, then it should be a very tiring and long journey by car. And 1 day is absolutely not possible to do the tour. Even you take train, it still takes 6.5 hours from Beijing to Datong.
You may travel by train from Xian to Luoyang and the train journey takes about 5 hours. Moreover, there is no flight available between the two cities. So train might be the best choice.
How far is from Shanghai to Xian and then to Beijing?
Aug. 10,2009 01:13 Mr.Aytun replied:
The distance between Shanghai and Xi'an is about 1509.00 kms and it is 1034.00km from Xian to Beijing. Will you take flight? It takes 2.5 hours from Shanghai to Xian and one and forty minutes from Xian to Beijing.

Yes, you can withdraw money (Chinese Yuan) from ATM machines of Bank of China at the airport, and the 24-hours self-help service is available. The ATM machine of Bank of China can accept most foreign credit cards, such as VISA, American Express, and MasterCard etc.

Alf and I travelled with Travel China Guide in 2006 and had a wonderful time. We would like to use the company again. However, the tours listed don't quite suite our requirements. We want to start and finish in Hong Kong - we will be staying with family - and see southern China over a 2 week period. We want to travel in the seond and third weeks in November 2009. Your suggestions please.
Jul. 12,2009 21:25 Ms.Alisha replied:
They provide private tours which can be customized. You can contact with them and tell them your requirement, and they can arrange a tour schedule accordingly. Nowadays, the tour service is becoming more and more thoughtful. I think any of your requirement could be met.
we would like to visit one or more of the following: - Suzhou-Hangzhou – Huangshan If one has to pick, which place is a must-see? Is Xihai Hotel on top of the mountain so we can see sunset and sunrise?
Jul. 12,2009 21:22 Mr.Efrain replied:
Each place has its own charm. Suzhou is famous for its delicate garden art, Hangzhou well known with the legendary West Lake while Huangshan charming with its Four Wonders. It’s up to you according to your own preference. And yes, the Xihai Hotel is on the top of the mountain and you can see the sunrise near the hotel.
I am planning to visit China in a short time notice. I don't know how to move from Taizhou Huangyan Airport (HYN) to Wenling City and then Wenling to Wenzhou. Please make my trip memorable.
Jul. 9,2009 20:54 Ms.Lily replied:
Seldomly heard about the cities you mentioned. Can you provide more info about these places? Maybe I can search the answer for you.
"I have to tell you some information about the flu. The authority asks anyone coming from other countries to isolate himself for one week from public places to prevent infection, even if for the time being he does not present a fever or other symptoms."Do you know if this information is correct?
Jul. 8,2009 20:55 Mr.Jun Wong replied:
Actually this saying is not correct. Visitors from overseas countries will be quarantined only under two situations. One is that the visitor has a symptom of flu. The other is that the visitor has taken the same flight with the diagnosed patient. So many people come to China from overseas countries every day. So please do not worry.
Is the train fare cheaper or more expensive than the airfare? Are there different classes of travel?
Jul. 6,2009 22:29 Ms.Ping Teh replied:
Of course the train fare is much cheaper than the airfare. Generally there are 4 classes of seats on the train, hard seats, soft seats, hard sleepers and soft sleepers. The accommodation condition on the train must be not as good as you expected. Look for more information about the train before you decide to take it.
I will be going to Hong Kong, Guilin, Shanghai, Suzhou, Luoyang and Xian, Beijing in September. Guide me about the weather temperatures in all of these cities. Thanks in advance.
Jul. 6,2009 19:25 Mr.Rex replied:
Since you will travel in September, which is the best time to take the tour in China, it will be warm during your tour. Generally, it will be around 50- 71.6 F, you are suggested to take T-shirts, shorts, light jackets and sports coats.Enjoy yourself.

Jul. 2,2009 01:36 Ms.Lorna replied:
It takes about 2 and a half hour from Shenzhen to Jinan by flight. From Jinan and Qingdao, it is better to take the soft seat train which takes about 2 hours and 50 minutes.
When we apply for visa should we apply for "multiple entrry" Visa?
Jun. 28,2009 20:19 Ms.Joycelyn Teck(USA) replied:
It depends on how many times you will enter China mainland. If you enter China mainland only one time during your tour, the single entry visa is enough.
what type of room amenities do hotel have, e.g., iron, shampoo, hair dryer. It was to help minimize what I need to pack.
Jun. 24,2009 00:50 Ms.Kimmy replied:
Most hotels have the items you mentioned. It seems that the iron is not available in some of the hotels. Which hotels you will stay? Maybe I can google on the website and check that for you.
