Offering full information about travel essentials in China, including the knowledge of planning the trip, practical travel information and special practical tips.
China has everything one expects to find on her vast territory, from ancient cultural and historic relics to stunning natural wonders, from the 'Spring City' Kunming to the snow capped sacred mountains in Tibet, from the well-known West Lake in Hangzhou to the world's largest and oldest treasure house of Buddhist art - Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. For travel to the historical or cultural sites, such as Forbidden City in Beijing or Terra Cotta Warriors in Xian, anytime of year is suitable. The natural charm of an attraction may differ since each season has distinct characteristics. Visitors should decide the best travel time according to their interests.
Primarily dominated by the temperate zone continental monsoon climate, China features four distinct seasons - spring, summer, autumn and winter. The sunny autumn period from September to November and the blooming spring from early March to late May are the best times to enjoy most of China's natural attractions. However, in recent years, more and more people are traveling off the beaten tracks in low seasons to both avoid the tourist crowds and to explore the unique charm of the same attraction. Along with the changing travel times, some tourist attractions have been increasing in popularity such as the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival in winter and the Beijing red maple admiration in autumn.

Hi my sis from kuwait will gonna visit me here hk,what are the documents she need and how mny days will she gonna stay here coz she will book on april6-21.wating for ur respond thank you
since your sis is from Kuwait, she can stay in Hong Kong without a visa for at most 30 days. the documents she need are her round-trip air tickets, hotel reservation (if any), passport, and an invitation letter from you if you would provide accommodation for her.
hello i want to visit hongkong for 2-3days only what documents do i need? thank you and will wait for your reply...
You only have to prepare your passport, return air ticket or air ticket for leaving HK, and enough funds to cover your stay in Hk.
hello, my name is fatima. I book a flight to hong kong Aug.25 and my return is sept.8 i just realise it's 15 days i'm only allowed 14 days in hong kong. But I will also visit macau for 2 days and back to hong kong. My question is when the immigration ask me when my return flight and they will learn its 15 days will they let me in? or just refuse me an entry.
it is possible you will be refused when enter Hong Kong. you'd better rebook a return flight on Sept. 7 (the 14th day) or go back to the Pilippines from Macau.
another way (not sure if it is possible): after you arrive at the Hong Kong airport, do not pass the customs, and take a ship to Macau districtly. stay in Macau for 2 days and go to Hong Kong, in this way, you only enter Hong Kong for once, and stay there for 13 days.
Hi I'm Fatima,
I book a ticket from aug.25 until sept.8 2012 so I count it's 15 days but in the duration of 15 day we will visit macau and then back to hong kong the next morning. do i need a visa or permit if i exceed a day in hong kong? hope to hear from you soon.
no, you don't need a visa or permit. when you go to back to Hong Kong from Macau, you will be given another visa free 14 days in Hong Kong.
