BEIJING - China's Capital (Please READ Page 1 Before Posting Queries)

[pit bull]

Hindi na sana ako umaasa na tumuloy sa Beijing, pero pwede pala yung sponsorship ng fiancée basta may extra 100k ka pa to support your partner. Itrytry namin sa September, 1 month before ng trip namin. Another option is yung Invitation galing sa authorized travel agency sa China, 25 USD ang singil per tao. So by September na ko mag-gawa ng itinerary, after makuha yung visa.

[g_lyn24]

hintayin namin feedback niyo ha. i'll apply for the visa on the first week of october na lang kahit na di ako aabot sa 6 mos. required na pagmaintain ng 100k adb. i'll still take chances. hay bat ko naman kasi papatulugin ang 100k ko sa savings account ng 6 mos. when i can invest it somewhere more profitable.

sorry off-topic. and also for ranting.

[dennisel]

hello dennisel, november din kame. are you ok na with your visa requirements?

hi minami617!

last week of august pa ako mag-apply, dun pa lang kasi marerelease un passport ni baby it will be our (me+hubby) 3rd trip to China, so wala naman problem sa visa. Sa in-laws ko, ok naman sila kasi my ITR un business nila, ok din bank account nila, booking of air ticket and hotel, ok na din. Worried lang ako kasi sobrang baba ng nakadeclare nila sa ITR, well, do i need to explain why pero sana makakuha din sila.

Guys,

Mahirap ba makakuha ng Shenzhen visa for Filipinos? I read somewhere hindi na raw nag-issue ang Shenzhen ng visa para sa Pinoys?

Pati rin sa US, Canada, UK, ayaw nila?

How true is this?

Can your mom still walk a lot? Beijing's tourist spots are massive and requires a lot of walking. I hope she's not afraid of heights either because you will need to take the cable car in Mutianyu. How many are you exactly? If you're less than 5 you can opt to take the taxi instead of taking the subway. Hindi naman ganun kamahal ang taxi sa Beijing.

Sep 2 - Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Peking Duck Dinner @ Quanjude Hepingmen, Qianmen
Sep 3 - Mutianyu and Wangfujing. If time/energy permits you can go to the Egg.
Sep 4 - Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Beihai, Houhai, Nanluoguxiang
Sep 5 - Tianjin, Olympic Park
Sep 6 - Shopping (Xidan for clothes, Tianyi Market for non-clothes)

What kind of shopping are you looking for?

Kaming 2 lang... worry ko rin ang walking part, although she has endured HK and SK na lakaran well but knowing how massive Beijing is, parang ayoko i take ang risk... Kaya I am thinking of hiring a guide para sa City Tour... yung kasama na transpo para menos ligaw sa Beijing... Yung cable car ba is pareho nung sa Ocean Park HK? Di naman siya natakot noon... ako yung ninerbiyos at that time...

Shopping... di masyado.. the usual souvenirs lang pampasalubong... aside from the tourist sites gusto ko rin makita yung modern architecture ng Beijing...

[janis_joong]

nag email ako ke Joe of joe-service.com and he sent me a reply... di siya available...

For me extra gastos lang ang tour guide unless gusto niyo talagang may nagdedescribe ng culture at history. Sa mga tourist spot may mga english description naman.

Except for the Great Wall day, hindi niyo kailangan ng car service. Pwede na ang taxi. Marami naman taxi sa mga tourist spot, huwag lang kayo sasakay ng colorum. There's a section on Page 1 regarding fake taxis.

There are other drivers for hire.

Souvenirs sa Mutianyu na kayo bumili, madami dun. Kailangan lang marunong kayo tumawad.

Modern Beijing, go to Sanlitun and Central Business District.

Thanks commoner... so siguro taxi and subway combo or hire a taxi service na lang para ikot ikot sa city...

Puntahan ko yan Sanlutin and CBD talaga!

Eto po at naghahanap na, kinansel ko na kasi yung reservation namin dahil for 3 people yun, masyadong mahal kung gagamitin ko.

try kong ipa rebook for sunday or tuesday, para may time pa kong makapag research kahit kaunti, sana nga ok ang panahon, kahit makulimlim, wag lang maulan

[seungmilee]

Good evening!

Tapos na rin magbasa. May questions lang po. From Beihai park, pano pumunta sa Houhai? And from there to Nanluoguxiang Hutong? Dun lang kasi ako nalilito.

Thank you!

Lakad lang. Medyo mahaba-habang lakad nga lang. Dadaan ka muna ng Qianhai bago makarating ng Houhai.
