[quote=TICTACNSEATAC,227313]I got my Chinese Visa from the embassy in US good for 30 days. Later, when I made my airline reservation I had to take flights giving me 36 days in China. I will be in Beijing 7 days, Xian 3 days, Shanghai 4 days, Guilin 3 days, Yangshou 3 days, Guangzhou 3 days, and Zhongshan 5 days and back to Beijing for 4 days. My guidebooks say you can get an extension quicker in smaller towns and not have to wait a week. Rough Guide to China says: "In some small towns charges might be waived and the procedure take only 10 minutes. In large cities it can take up to a week. The worst is Beijing and Shanghai." Is this true? Should I bite the bullet and do it in Beijing on entry or gamble and see if I can get it done later? Anybody have experience renewing in smaller towns? Thanks to all you wonderful people who have helped me thus far. I look forward to your "words of wisdom."[/quote]
