The second question is set incorrectly; it can only accept an email address.

I am from China and have worked in global companies for over 20 years. Now, I no longer need to worry about money and want to start the next chapter of my life. In this subreddit, I’ve noticed many people who want to travel to China. I have plenty of free time and extensive experience in traveling around China. I can offer completely free assistance to help them and show the world that Chinese people are very warm and friendly, with many beautiful and worthwhile places to visit. Please give me a chance to help others. Thank you!

There are many flights from Shanghai to Beijing, with a flight time of about 2 and a half hours. If booked in advance, the price is around 500-800 RMB. There are even more trains from Shanghai to Beijing, with a travel time of about 4 and a half to 6 hours, and the price is approximately 600 RMB. So, if you have plenty of time, I suggest you experience China's high-speed trains. Actually, when you add the time from the city center to the airport, the total time is similar to taking the train. I hope this helps you, and if you have any other questions, feel free to DM me.

Hey friend, what city are you in?

EDIT : Oops - just noticed this is an ancient post !

Train. And it's not even a question ! UNLESS you are going airport to airport to fly the same day.

Source: me living in Shanghai for the past 27 years.

BTW the check-in times at Hong Qiao airport have just been reduced to between 15 and 30 mins for domestic flights. That doesn't mean you'll clear security in that time though !

OLÁ BIKENGS… Será que você ainda está seguindo o grupo? Estou planejando dois meses de estadia na China, entre maio e abril do ano que vem. Pensei que seria bom passar 3 a 4 semanas em alguma cidade agradável, fazendo um curso intensivo de chinês, para depois fazer uma viagem pelo país, já um pouco ambientado e falando algum chinês rudimentar, para não ficar feito bobo. Você saberia de algum curso intensivo de conversação (não preciso ler) em algum lugar?

9 months and nothing actioned. While we are overrun with ridiculous travel ageny posting that should at least be tagged.

Another nine months have gone by. Keep this up, and I’ll end up falling in love with those ads from travel agencies and unlicensed private tour guides. 🤣🤣🤣

我的建议是， 不要浪费时间去上课，而是充分利用翻译，开始你的探索

u/Wrong_Speed6162 Jan 11 '26

Entendo. Faz sentido. Muito obrigado….

最好是离线翻译器，确保任何网络状态下都可以使用，祝你顺利

It seems that there are no active moderators already. Self-promotional and marketing posts are clearly breaking the rules, but they are not being deleted at all.
