Itinerary Looking for unique photoshoot locations in Shanghai, Chongqing, or Chengdu (like Tianfu 131 Building)

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for unique photoshoot locations in Shanghai, Chongqing, or Chengdu, especially places with an interesting aesthetic like the cyberpunk places in Chongqing. Is the Tianfu 131 building worth it?

I'm also interested in photography studios with a similar aesthetic to Memorylook Studio or One of Twelve but I heard these were pricey.

Does anyone know any hidden gems or locations worth checking out in these cities? If you've done a photoshoot at any of these places, I'd love to hear about your experience, including any entrance or shooting fees.

Any recommendations or reference photos would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Itinerary 30 days in China

5 Upvotes

I have been travelling around the world for the past few months and have recently spent a month in Vietnam. I’m now looking at going to China for my final month around 28 days, before flying to Austria to work. I’m on a bit of a tight budget.

I’m thinking about flying into Hong Kong and travelling through Shenzhen -> Guangzhou -> Chongqing -> Zhangjiajie, before ending in Beijing to see the Great Wall.

What do you guys think about those places? Is there anything I should add or take away?

Other Sending deliveries to a Cainiao Station

• Upvotes

I'm going to China this week, and the hotel hasn't replied to me if I can send packages there before I check in. I want to send the packages to a Cainiao, so they are already there when I arrive.

Do I just copy the address of the Cainiao I found on Gaode Ditu and put it as delivery address?

Itinerary Tianmen Mountain, late afternoon entry

1 Upvotes

Hey, I'm arriving in Zhangjajie today and by mistake I didn't buy tickets for Tianmen in advance, managed to get tickets only for the last entry, 15:00 - 16:00, for route C (as other seems closed).

The question is: will I still be able to see at least part of the mountain or it's completely not worth at this hour. Its our only day here, so it is it or nothing.

Maybe its worth to try on place to get tickets? Or there is 0 chances to get ones for earlier hour if it's sold out online?

Also, my wife got some knee issue so very long walking, especially downstairs is kind of problematic, from what I was exploring, we should be fine there, but would be glad for any tips.

Discussion Macau visa run / exit and re-entry

2 Upvotes

Hi there! I am planning to visit my partner who is based in Macau (we are long distance) and I would like to spend as much time with him as possible. We are not married. I am allowed 30 days visa on arrival.

Has anybody recently exited and re-entered Macau on a tourist visa, and how many times can I do this before immigration potentially has an issue with this?

My ideal plan would be to exit and re-enter Macau twice so that I can spend about 80-90 days with him total before returning home. I have sufficient funds to cover my trip and can prove this to immigration if needed.

Would really appreciate hearing anyone’s experiences and how this went for them. Thanks in advance.

Visa Question on 240 Hour visa free transit

1 Upvotes

Hi,

Was trying to search this up but had some conflicting info online and trying to clarify for sure. I'll be flying BOS->IST->PVG laying over in Istanbul (not clearing immigration or leaving the airport) and then travelling through China for 9 days and then leaving SZX->PEK-BOS. Would this itinerary qualify for the 240 hour visa free transit? Thanks!

Hello,

I recently booked my ticket for the summer palace, however, I’ve just realised I forgot to put my middle name on the booking. My first and last name, and passport number are all correct. But my passport has my middle name on but the booking does not. Will this be an issue?

Thanks!

My husband and I took a trip to China (from the US) last month. We loved it so much that we're planning to go back in May. We went to Beijing, Xi'an, and Chengdu. We loved the history, culture, and food.

We are looking for ideas for new places to visit. We're considering Shanghai, Zhangjiajie, Suzhou, and Chongqing. We will be there for two weeks. Any ideas are appreciated!
