Macao to Guangzhou
By WANHU | 6/13/2010 9:49:49 PM
Usually I travel alone, but on June 1 (2010) I travelled with nine others. After a smooth touch-down at the Macao International Airport (MIA) around 10:30 then we proceeded to the bus stop where we waited for the AP1 shuttle bus. We waited for almost 30 minutes but the bus was yet to arrive. The fee was MOP4.20 instead of MOP3.30 but the luggage was still the same, MOP3 per every bag. Well I have not been to Macao for more than a year. The 10 of us decided to take a taxi instead of the shuttle bus, although it cost us more, especially with 3 taxis, but we didn't want my 2 Chinese nieces to wait for us in vain near the Gongbei Port.
From Gongbei we took a 15-seater coaster to Guangzhou. The cost of the van was RMB870. The journey was quite smooth until we reached Guangzhou. As it was raining while the roads were under repair to prepare for the coming Asian Games, the congestion was quite bad. We arrived at the hotel in Xiaobei almost at 17:00, that took us almost 5 hours from Gongbei to Guangzhou.
It is.indeed easier for us to rent a van rather than taking a public bus. The van sent us direct to the hotel doorstep and if we took a public bus, it will stop at the bus terminal then we have to take other busc or taxis.

Pickpocket: modus operandi
By WANHU | 6/13/2010 9:02:17 PM
On June 4 (evening), I was with some friends buying things at the Luohu Walmart, and I sensed a man of aropund 35+ was following us. I observed that he had been followibng me for the past 15 minutes and kept his distance. When we came out of the premises he stopped following me and I let my guard down. My Chinese niece called me and I answered her, and suddenly my nephew who was about 5 metres in front jumped and caught a 10 year-old girl, trying to rummage my sling bag while I was answeing the call.
The man who was following me, suddenly came and took the girl away. From their faces, he could be her father or her relative. I felt sad that he was probably teaching her in this art of stealing. What would happen if the victim vents his anger on the girl if she gets caught?

For first time travelers in china
By GLADIATOR | 2/17/2010 5:44:39 AM
A few quick tips if you are coming to china first time and coming to zhuhai specifically,
1) Make sure you have your Visa . i have seen people often jumping in to plane thinking they need no visa. Check this china govt website for visa info (http://www.fmprc.gov.cn/eng/ljzg/3647/3648/)
2)You can reach zhuhai through 1) Macau , where there are three border points. In case you need more details drop me a message. 2) Honkong, directly from HK airport via the ferry in which case you dont need to cross HK immigration . The other is to go to HK-Macau ferry terminal in island or HK- China ferry terminal and take a ferry from there . It will take you about 1 hour.
3)In case you dont know mandarin or cantonese, i suggest you carry chinese address copies of the place you have to go when you enter china. You can show it to any taxi driver in china and normally they know the place. Taxi's are not expensive but try not to take private taxis's. The taxis in zhuhai are normally in green or blue colour.
4)for adventurous men a piece of advise is that please donot venture out to nightclubs alone and get into argument with locals. Though normally people are very friendly to foreigners here you can cause serious harm to you if you think you are a cowboy in texas.
If you need any further info , do drop me a message.

Theft and Robbery Cases
By VIGORHE | 10/16/2009 5:15:17 AM
Theft and robbery cases frequently occur in Guangzhou. Security status might be improved with the Asian Games approaching.
Helpful advices are given to tourists who are going to visit Guangzhou as follows:
1. Remember to take legal cabs to hotels you reserve in advance when you arrive at the airport
2. Never walking on the street or go sightseeing alone at night.
3.Don't place over CNY 200 cash in your purses or pockets , don't carry briefcases or handbags to go shopping at night-time.
4.Do take metro instead of buses on which hidden pickpockets are sitting or standing.
5.Don't walk along narrow or crowded streets.
