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??

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

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.

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?

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??

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.
