Re: China 2018 Zuhhai
Thanks for your reply. I am of the understanding that there is a 3 day visa for visiting the Zhuhai special economic region and its locally called a shopping visa. From what I have been told on trip advisor it can be obtained at the Zhuhai ferry port as well as the border crossing from Macao to Zhuh...

Re: China 2018 Zuhhai
I decided to cancel my hotel in Zhuhai while I still can without charge If there is any more info about visas and airshow tickets in Hong Kong I might make a day trip to Zhuhai but at the moment just exploring Hong Kong and possibly Macao will be good. Shame though - and did anyone else read about t...

Re: China 2018 Zuhhai
Yes it's getting pretty difficult. I just got an email from a travel agent in Hong Kong who had been trying to get an answer about the 3 day visa. She hasn't had a reply from Chinese consul and is of the impression that the visa will not be applicable for me.

Re: China 2018 Zuhhai

Re: China 2018 Zuhhai
The good news is that the main website is now working m Google translate works very well on this site with my laptop but is all over the place on my mobile Problem is the registration process requests your mobile phone number and as UK mobiles use a different format to Chinese the request fails.

Re: China 2018 Zuhhai
The 3 day visa situation seems to vary depending on which website I look at. It does seem that it is available at the Zhuhai ferry port - at first it seemed it was only available from the Macao land border crossing but it is shown as being available at the ferry port. The visa is described as the Zh...

Re: China 2018 Zuhhai
It now seems that I can get a visa on arrival at the ferry port in Zhuhai which is valid for 3 days as its in a special economic zone. Cost is about 460 CNY (about £50)

Re: China 2018 Zuhhai
I decided to take a chance and book a highly rated hotel in Zhuhai from 9th till 11 Nov. To my horror the taxi fare is showing about $140 each way for about 20 miles. Hopefully there will be cheaper public transport.Hotel is about £80 per night but its peak season. The same hotel in June of s about ...

I guess not too many people considering a trip to China this year judging from no response to my previous message? We went to the Russian airforce 100th anniversary show and that was incredible and has given us a taste for using air displays as a basis for travelling I have booked flights to Hong Ko...

China 2018 Zuhhai
Thinking about making a trip to China airshow in Zhuhai. Did anyone visit the show last year 2016. I prefer to see military jets and bombers. Would this airshow be for me or is it about commercial airliners etc. Anyone else going? My last overseas trip was Moscow for 100th air force anniversary whic...

Re: Russian Air Force Centenary show
Great show. Weather forecast was for storms but instead I got slightly sunburnt and had to buy a hat! What was that first serious looking jet that did incredible manoeuvres after all the old propeller planes? I thought the depleted read arrows still put in a superb display but I prefer the powerful ...
