Thanks for your sharing again~~

The 1st pic is the Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui~~ The building on the right hand side is Harbour City, a few steps backward (which is not included in the pic) is the China HongKong City, where the ferry from Macau arrives! All arriving HK by ferry from Macau can take this pic as a reference...

Just heard from my mum that when my Singaporean relatives came to HK and dropped by Shenzhen, they applied the visa thru China Travel Service branches in HK. Check it out here : http://www.ctshk.com/english/useful/chinesevisa.htm

M'sians need visa to travel to CHINA. easy to get and yes, can obtain at border patrol station. Apply there also can apply here if u dowan the hassle when u reach there.

Singaporeans do not need visa when travelling to China for grace periods of 30 days and below.
