| I'm a US citizen living in Taiwan and I'll be traveling through China for July. As it is very expensive for me to obtain a visa in Taiwan, can anyone direct me to the Chinese Embassy website in HongKong? I've checked out hostels, but they are still more expensive than I had heard it would be for gettig a Chinese visa. Oh, and how about taking the train from HK to Beijing? Thanks, Seth |

| Actually, could you recommend any good travel agent in Beijing? I'm going to be traveling from Beijing, through Hohhot, Yinchuan, Lanzhou, Dunhuang, Urumuqi. All this is by train. then i'd like to fly from Urumuqi to xi'an. So, i was thinking that i might arrange all the travel in Beijing. What would you recommend? |
