    So tempting, especially with the new visa free for 15 days policy 😃

  • Gwigglesnz on 03/07/2024 - 09:38

    I'm gonna bite the bullet and book.

    Which is the best/easiest city to go to for a week long holiday?

      I've only been to Shenzhen, a week might be a bit much there, but if I was going I'd hit up Shanghai/Beijing for my first 'proper' trip into China. I've also heard very good things about the food scene in Xi'an as well though.

    • Brit22 on 03/07/2024 - 10:04

      We recently spent 7 days in Beijing, a few people said that was too long but we filled up the days fine (Great Wall, Beijing Zoo, Universal, Team labs, Palace Museum, Tian’amen Square, Temple of heaven, Summer Palace, day trip to Tianjin, etc)

      We contemplated getting the train (5.5 hours) to Shanghai for a couple night but didn’t want to spend 2x half day travelling there and back to Beijing

      In hindsight, we should have flown into Beijing, spent 4 days there, then taken the train to Shanghai and spent 3 days there, then flown out of Shanghai to reduce the travel time

      • Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 03/07/2024 - 10:10

        Argh, just reading that first sentence makes me want to travel again so much. Fortunately have a trans-Tasman trip tomorrow, but with very young kids, long haul to China will have to wait :)

        • superhuang2004 on 03/07/2024 - 10:39

          Does your trans-tasman trip cost more than a trip to China?? :)

        • bigcheese on 03/07/2024 - 10:44

          Did the kids passports arrive in time or did you have to pay for urgent delivery?
          Can't remember where you mentioned that earlier.

            @bigcheese: Got to Monday this week and I finally started pulling out all the stops, even emailed their media team (from my personal address) and my local MP's office. Don't know which one worked but suddenly a fast-track status was put on it and it went from 'sitting in the queue still' to being checked, approved, got a personal phone call from a manager telling me I could go in to the Chch office in 20 minutes and pick it up(!).

            Could be worse, poor person in front of me had worked on the West coast until 11.30pm, driven overnight to Chch with kids to catch the early morning flight to Sydney, only to find their passport expired last Friday(!).

      If it’s your first time to China, I’d probably head to Beijing or Shanghai Beijing has a lot of historical things to see. Great Wall (1 day), Summer palace (1 Day), Forbidden City + Tiananmen Square (1 day), amongst other smaller attractions. Add in shopping and eating and you can stretch it out to a week.

      Shanghai is more cosmopolitan, and a more international feel. Doesn’t have as much historically, but if you’re wanting a mix of east/west, or an easier intro then this might be it. By international standards I think both cities are easy for tourists. Day trips or even a night or two away could include Suzhou or Hangzhou from Shanghai. Easy and fast on their fast rail.

      Keep in mind I haven’t been to China in 8 years, but prior to that I used to go twice yearly for almost 20 years. A mix of work and holidays. I’ve seen the changes from when Shanghai was the only modern city (in parts) in China, to where all first tier cities blow away the western world in terms of new infrastructure. It’s changed at an unbelievable pace.

      Hope that helps.

    Just a friendly heads-up for those considering a visit to China. Several countries, including the US, Canada, and Taiwan, have recently issued travel advisories, marking travel to China as requiring a "high degree of caution" due to the risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws.

    Additionally, in the past few weeks, some US citizens and a Japanese school bus in China were attacked. These incidents are widely believed to be the result of populist sentiments incited by the CCP.

    As a migrant from China, I have firsthand knowledge of these issues and want to ensure the cheapies community stay informed and safe.

    • Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 03/07/2024 - 11:51

      Purely asking out of curiosity - does CCP have anything to gain by inciting populist sentiments causing attacks on foreigners? Wouldn't that be counterproductive for their image?

      Also presume Taiwan always has China as a high degree of caution ;)

      • ABCDEFG on 03/07/2024 - 12:03

        There is an entire field of domestic political policy academics who study that question😅 Short and insufficient answer is that it's about maintaining domestic support for the party through directing discord towards an external actor and allowing certain types of demonstration as a pressure relief valve for civil discontent.

      • xsolider on 03/07/2024 - 12:06

        It's a complex issue, but I'll try to explain it briefly. The CCP tells its people that all the hardships in their lives are caused by the Western world. They cultivate hatred towards foreigners to reduce scrutiny of their governance. Of course, they don't want their people to go to extremes and attack foreigners, as this would damage their global image and economy. However, once populist sentiments rise, it's difficult to prevent such incidents from occurring.

          I visited Chengdu in the past and will be traveling to Shanghai and Beijing this August. My experiences have been a mix of two contrasting sides. On one hand, I found the people to be incredibly kind and welcoming most of the time. On the other hand, the high level of policing is unsettling. At the train station, I was asked to drink my own water before being allowed entry. At the airport, I was stopped because my passport photo showed me with hair, but I was shaven at the time. Though the officers were polite, they questioned me and asked me to prove where I worked by opening my company's website and showing them my photo.

          The surveillance technology is both impressive and intimidating; they can locate you anywhere through auto-tagging. And this was my experience from five years ago! Despite this, I feel comfortable going back there with my family. Different countries operate differently and its absolutely alright. Respect their culture, their rules and you will be absolutely fine.

            @danz: I'm afraid not all cultures and rules deserve our respect, mate. A 22-year-old Iranian girl died in a hospital after being arrested by the country's morality police for allegedly not wearing her hijab to the authorities' satisfaction. While we may have to follow the rules when we're in such countries, it doesn't mean we have to respect them.

            • danz on 03/07/2024 - 12:46

              @xsolider: Ok

              @xsolider: The Old Testament prescribed death punishment by stoning for several crimes including stealing, Sabbath breaking, preaching or practicing a different religion, blasphemy, cursing God and the king, being a medium or a wizard, being a stubborn or rebellious son, and other major crimes. Tell me that you haven't done any of that and if this religion is worthy of your respect.

              As a migrant from your homeland, smearing all over it doesn't place you on the moral high ground.

              • xsolider on 04/07/2024 - 15:57

                @negativity: New Zealand residents are entitled to freely express their opinions about the National Party or the Labor Party, regardless of their location within or outside the country. This will not be considered as "smearing the homeland." I apologize if this concept goes beyond your understanding. If you genuinely endorse the Chinese Communist Party's long-term governance, why did you choose to leave the communist society they have constructed for you?

          This is BS, Chinese people are generally friendly towards the visitors. With such a large population, there are bound to be some maniacs, but China is overall a very safe country to visit.

    • Supadupa on 03/07/2024 - 22:05

      The issue here is that only China Southern fly out of Christchurch, where in Auckland all the major Chinese airlines fly. They do have good deals occasionally though.

      You can book with nz chinese travel agencies. They are having heaps of single city travel deals at the moment. Just saw one not too long ago from worldwide holidays, something like a week in chengdu for $800 including flights hotel and some meals? Youll prob be travelling with a lot of olderly people but at least the tour guides are from nz.

    China has been amazing and not so hard to navigate (we have covered 7 major cities with a mix of air/train). If anyone has any questions, please message me and I'll try my best to help out.
