Better to enter from where?
Feb 11, 2010 03:19
guest75185 I hold Japanese and U.S. passports. I would like to visit a friend in Zhanjiang. I believe I can enter China without the visa because I hold a regular Japan passport... I plan to fly to HK since flying to HK is cheaper than to Zhanjiang airport... Do you recommend a bus or train to Zhanjiang, and where do I buy the tickets once I am in the mainland?

As I understand it you will need a visa. Contact your nearest Chinese consulate in Japan or USA.

I agree it is probably cheaper to fly to HK than Zhanjiang. From HK, I think your best route is to take a bus from HK airport to Guangzhou, cost is about 180 rmb I think. From Guangzhou you can get a bus to Zhanjiang cost 160rmb, and it takes about 6 hours. There are three bus stations very close to the main Guangzhou Rail Station, and you should be able to get a bus from one of those. Alternatively, you can get a train to Zhanjiang, but it is not always possible to get a seat/sleeper at short notice.

IM FROM ZHANJIANG CITY GUANGDONG PROVINCE.
MAY BE I CAN GIVE YOU SOME ADVISE
IF YOU CAN ENTER CHINA AT ANY CITY,GUANGZHOU IS THE BEST CHOICE.THERE ARE MANY BUS BETWEEN THE TWO CITY.
FROM GUANGZHOU NEW BAIYUN AIRPORT WALK ABOUT 510m TO AIRPORT EXPRESS LINK B AREA TAKE NO.1 LINE TO THE STOP NAME OF AIRPORT EXPRESS LINK SALE(THE FOURTH STOP,IT IS GUANGZHOU TRAIN STATION HERE).WALK TO WEST ABOUT 400m IS GUANGZHOU PROVINCE STATION,YOU CAN BUY THE TICKET TO ZHANJIANG HERE. THE BUS FM AIRPORT TO TRAINSTATION IS RMB16,OR THE EASY WAY YOU CAN TAKE A TEXI TO THE STATION.
THE TICKET FROM GUANGZHOU TO ZHANJIANG IS ABOUT RMB150.
ATTACH PIC IS THE WAY FROM THE TRAINSTATION TO PROVINCE STATION.
GOOD LUCK!
