If per person pay gratuity 200yuan. 40+ person means 8000+.
That's a lot for 2 days of work.

Dear Sifu, want to ask about China visa application in Malaysia.

I understand the documebts required for application. However, I would like to authorise one of family member to apply on behalf of me.

So with regards to this, I couldn’t find any letter of authorisation from the website.

Do I need to provide that letter??

Go Guangzhou must visit Canton Fair. Next week

Are you saying you recommend ground arrangement?

Nope.

Pretty hard to get hotel now, if you haven't book in advance. CAnton fair is one of the major event where a lot of foreigners will visit.

Get a 3 days subway pass to ease your daily commutation.


上下九 is a nice place to visit.

黃埔軍交校 to pay tributes to those who fought the Japanese

夜遊珠江，廣州塔 can carry out in the same night. Get discounts from Taobao

北京路 for high class stuff

及第街 for women's wear

白馬時裝城 is just so so. Better take bullet train to Humen 黃河時裝城，and at the same time can visit 林則徐虎門銷煙遺址. Together with the two museums built on the sites.

No letter needed as long as your relative is applying for him/herself at the same time.

No. My family member is doing me a favour since I am unable to take time off to go apply once and collect another day.

In this case, will a simple letter of authorisation will do?? I can draft one myself

Or is there a format but I am unable to find from website

I see. Many thanks for your suggestion.

For accommodation, will you recommend Airbnb instead? I found some decent ones but not too sure how far off compared to hotels.

My main concern is just the cleanliness of the place and the ease of convenience to public transport such as busses and trains.

And if I were to opt for hotel, Is it high likely I am unable to get room?

On the other hand, for the subway card, is it possible to purchase there on the spot at the train station?? Or cheaper to buy here and top up at Guangzhou?

I think as long as you pay, they don't really care.

Unless your application form is filled up by others. Again, who is so stupid to declare even when it is really filled up by others.

If you are going during the Canton fair period, then sorry lah. All good hotels are taken.

I normally stay at 漁珠灣大酒店。Panyu station exit C, walk less than 30m. AT least 4 stars and very cheap. < RMB150 if you book early.

Noted with thanks. Will check on that hotel.

I am banana. Need to google translate the website haha but many thanks bro

Appreciate it

I just found out it is quite far from the city centre.

It is like in another state??

You mean the hotel? It is cheap and nice, and with the subway pass, it is free ride. It is walking distance from 黃埔軍校

20Km + away from the city center, is peanuts. Get yourself a 3 days pass in the subway station will do.

I have only a day starting from early morning for three important sites with a professional group: The two Nanyue Museums, Tomb & Palace and the Chan Academy, catch a bus in the evening to another city, Jiangmen. I believe the fastest is by metro. In what order would you suggest? Is there any time in between for other sights?

just give it to any travel agency, their agent willing to help you run the visa.

I already got my relative to help me.

No worries on that.

Now I am planning the itinerary haha

Seek for someone experience advise, because i going to take China Southern airline from Malaysia to US coming Nov and due to Malaysia passport holder so do i need a transit visa during transit in CAN Guangzhou Airport?

You do not need to apply any visa as long you are in the transit hall.

No visa required as you'll be transiting. Just go through transit security and there's some sort of immigration check where they'll stamp your boarding pass.
At KLIA you should be checked though all the way to US and will be issued 2 boarding passes.

Hope this helps.

You no need China Visa for doing Transit at China Airport.
BTW, you also can apply 24 Hours Transit Visa Free Program so you can go sightseeing Guangzhou too. if your transit time are long enough.

Does anybody know whether can still buy SIM cards at the airport. Last week in China I cannot buy a SIM card anywhere without a China ID.
