Im visiting Shanghai, Beijing and other cities in August because my grandparents live in China. I haven’t seen them in 5 years. (I live in Germany and I am half Chinese half German)
You can definitely work in China if you secure a job before arriving. There are lots of English teaching jobs for example. The business visa is harder to obtain as you will need to buy or bring over a business visa
Most ATMs will dispense cash from international cards but take at least a hundred dollars to begin with, this will cover a taxi to your hotel and food for the first few days
Hi Hi , me and my wife plan to visit China in towards mid Nov this year, in the prosess of organizing the visa's , my wife is an Architect , we will land in Beijing , I would really love to visit the ' Shaolin Temple ' how can we do this , please if you can advice, appreciate all the info given on your videos .
Wonderful! How long are you in Beijing for? The monastery isn’t in Beijing itself it’s in a province called Henan. Your best bet would be to take a speed train from Beijing to Xi’an, spend a day or two there seeing the Terracotta Warriors and then look for either a day trip to the temple from or head over the nearest city called zhengzhou and visit the monastery from there 😊
Just visited Chongqing China. Amazing food. 144hr transit visa free works. Better yet, my 10 year Visa works again. Hotel no longer exchange USD to RMB. Needs to do that at some banks.
Oh no way! Sorry to hear that! We have never had an issue with it but haven’t been recently. Did you have the latest update? When we lived there, we found you had to always make sure you had the latest updates otherwise it wouldn’t work
Hi Gloria, China can be a challenge to travel to and around in comparison to other destinations in the world. Right now, you aren't able to enter the country but before covid, obtaining a visa to enter the country was quite a process. Once you are in China, there are ways to travel around with ease but we learnt these after living in the country for two years. Without knowing about Didi, CTrip, VPNs and WeChat, it can be a challenge to explore the country.
I was trying to answer that guy's comment who asked: "If we go China, definitely learn Chinese??? "🙄 Obviously Javanese or Swahili were not the right answers! Let's try again, ...the guy should learn Spanish?...Arabic? ...may be Hawaiian? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Whilst living in Mainland China for two years, the Google translate app/webiste only worked when using a VPN unless you downloaded a whole language dictionary.
@@CreativeTravelGuide Well google did launched Google translate in both website and app officially in Mainland China in recent years,and the link was "translate.google.cn"😂.😀 you can check it in their official account on WeChat and bilibili.com🤓 They mentioned in few years ago 👍!
No you don't have to declare your laptop. Similar to all countries, if you are bringing in new, sealed electronics then you would have to declare but used personal items are fine and you won't need to declare.
