Other Lost & found Shanghai (pudong) airport

3 Upvotes

A couple of days ago I lost my bag at Shanghai airport. My bag is allready found and is at the lost & found departement. But I don’t know how to ship it back to the Netherlands.

I saw a few sites that could help as a pick up agent, but it seemed quite sketchy…

Does someone maybe have some tips? That would be really helpful.

Discussion Last second China travel for first timers ?!

• Upvotes

My best friend and I decided on a whim to travel to China next week for roughly 2,5 weeks... Landing in Shanghai... doing my research and all but wanted recommandations from experienced people for travel logistics especially in this time of month...

Trying to avoid the cold areas... but wanted to know any recommandations for cities to see as a tourist for a 2,5 week travel...

I know China is huge and I won't be able to see even 1% of the amazing things the country has to offer so definitely going to have to go back...

But for 2,5 weeks travel ? What and where do you recommend ?

Payment Help Как платить в Китае, если ты россиянин?

2 Upvotes

Занялась этим вопросов только недавно, и чем больше пытаюсь разобраться, тем больше запутываюсь(

Я еду с мамой, и хотела сама заняться вопросом финансов, дабы ей сразу предоставить всю полную информацию, сама студентка (которая за финансы не особо шарит)

Да, про наличку всё понятно – конечно, про запас я её возьму, но мне бы не хотелось расплачиваться налом на постоянной основе. Я знаю, что есть сайты WeChat и Alipay, кто-то говорит, что лучше первый, кто-то – что второй, но смысл у них, как я поняла, один: это сайт, который должен в теории покрыть базовые потребности: оплата еды и заказ такси, оплата номера в гостинице. Посредников я отрицаю, не доверяю третьим лицам собственные пожитки, карт иностранных ее имеем.

Вот только как именно эти приложения устанавливаются? Через какие российские банки (у меня есть газпром, сбер, альфа и атб) возможен перенос денег в юани? Какие подводные камни есть? Слышала и про то, что сбер (если не ошибаюсь) может как то там переносить, но комиссия имеется. Объясните, пожалуйста, как и что. Или может быть, есть какие-то официальные сайты/группы в телеграм-каналах по поводу всего этого...

Itinerary PVG transit hotel - is 6hr 15mins enough?

• Upvotes

Hi

Considering a trip to UK (from SYD) early next year with a stopover in Shanghai on the way back.

Regarding the flight(s) over, there is a 6hr 15min layover at PVG. Is this enough time to clear immigration, head to the Holiday Inn and grab a shower and a few hours sleep before coming back airside?

The return flights aren't an issue as we plan to stay for 4-5 nights in the city proper, but going over will be a transit stop only. Wondering if the timeframe is too tight to grab a few hours sleep in a hotel. I understand there is an Aerotel at PVG but it is not airside.

Itinerary Guiyang advice.

2 Upvotes

Hi, so I am in Guiyang for 3 days. Is Huangguoshu worth it? Should I book a tour from trip or is it easy for me to navigate there myself?

Also is the Xijiang Miao village worth it? I am considering leaving for it midday and staying the night and coming back the next morning.

Are there any other attractions you would recommend?

Itinerary Crowds in Chengdu on 31 December-3 January

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have a trip planned for Chengdu from 31 December 2026 (Thursday) to 3 January 2027 (Sunday) how are the crowds in that city during this long weekend? I’m okay with crowds, just hopefully not the extent where everyone is packed like sardines all day.

Thinking about whether I should cancel this trip given the crowds.

Thank you!

Discussion Are there caves in China that allow multi-day exploration?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, looking for recommendations for multi-day caving trips in China. I’ve come across multi-day caving trips, but they usually visit a different cave each day. I’m looking for something where you spend several days exploring the same cave system, ideally with overnight stays underground.

China borders Vietnam, which is home to some incredible caves like Son Doong, so I'm wondering if China has similar large cave systems that are open to this kind of exploration.

Are there any local caving groups or guides who organize these kinds of trips? Open to anywhere in China. Would also be great to hear about caves that are less well known but can still be explored legally with the right team.
