    If you are coming to China for sightseeing, you should obtain a tourist visa from the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in your home country. It is more convenient for tourists booked through Chinese travel agencies to get group visas for their visit to China.

    Tourist visas are usually good for two months, but can be [...]

    Most maps have not be reprinted since the opening of line 4 last month.

    The best current map is googlemap. It has line 4 now.

    Search Beijing, China. Then enter tha name of any attraction. If you zoom in a lot you can even see the subway exits.

    I'm just wondering where can I get a copy of the above ? Is it available at the airport or hotels ? Or maybe tourist information centres and where can I find one if there is ?

    I found one or two very useful maps on the internet but unfortunately not printable.

    Thanks.

    It's a scam. Later, they will offer to take you to a 'traditional' tea place, and the tea shop will charge you over 1000 RMB (or more). Conveniently, the 'student' will forget how to [...]

    My wife and I are going to be in Beijing in January for 3 days and would like to do some day trips to the Great Wall and Forbidden City, etc. instead of doing a full 3-day tour. Any suggestions of good tour companies that offer day trips?
