[quote=GUESTGUESTX4,78248]First off, this sight appears to be a great resource! Will keep reviewing. This mid April I am looking at taking a trip to China, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Independant travel on our own using train system or inland flights within China. Family of 4 including 2 four and a half year old girls. Do not speak the local language. We are US citizens. Before I book, have several questions. visa - same price for child as adult? can i obtain without an invitation? any reason our visa would be denied? wanting to travel independently and without a specific tour company. Will this be issue? With authorities? With transportation? With language? Another option is to hire a guide. Are there guides we can hire for 5-6 full days, hitting Beijing, Xian and Yangshuo. If so, approx cost we'd be looking at? Can you recommend a professional and responsible company that provides them? Hiring a local guide in each destination is an option as well. Traveling on our own, will we have problem leaving China and going to Hong Kong by train/air? Our children. Should we be concerned if travelling without tour? Safety issues? Crime? Any tips on family travelling w kids in China? This is my ideal. Sorry if some or all sounds naive to ask. I traveled europe where a passport was sufficient. So unfamiliar with China and it's requirements, customs and perceptions. Hence my desire to travel there! Any help and advice with the above trip and questions is welcomed. Thanks![/quote]
