Hi Whitney Liao, My friends and I plan to visit Zhu hai on this coming March.We are stuck in the visa matter right now. How could we apply the 144hr visa? What is that actually? Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Angela, it is a convenient visa for visitors from Macau or Hongkong entering into the Pearl River Delta. Usually it takes 1-2 working days to complete it. To apply for it, we need the scanned copy of your passports.  But right now, I am afraid that we are not able to offer a hand for this situation.

Q: (Bob) Robert Ferranti Asked on 2013-01-16 Reply
I am planning a trip in April of this year by myself. I will have a passport. What else will I need to stay in Zhuhai for about a week? I am also looking into accommodations for that amount of time, can you tell me of some places with moderate rates? What currency will I need. This will be my first trip to China. Will I need any adapters for electric items? What is public transportation like there? How are the local shops, can I use my Visa/debit card there? Will I need local currency for things? Where can I get currency exchanged? Should I use travelers cheques? Any and all information you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Bob Ferranti

Hi Robert, you need a China visa for going to Zhuhai. For accomodation, you can check the hotels in Zhuhai via here: http://www.chinahighlights.com/hotel/zhuhai-hotels/

The currency used in China is CNY/RMB. You can have your moeny exchanged at the Money Changers or most of the banks like Bank of China, ABC(Agricultural Bank of China), ICBC(Industrial and Commercial Bank of China).

The public transportation is bus in Zhuhai. It is convenient. Taxi is also available.

Usually the local shops don't accept visa/debit card / travelers cheques, but some supermarkets accept it.

You can change/withdraw it in cash for payment.
