Re: Chinese visa extension report: Leshan

Nothing more to Say than acmo's post.
Still working on july 2019. Photo and photocopies are done in PSB for free, just bring passeport, hotel registration, and exact amount of cash ! They will ask your for an itinirerary but don't really check.

Re: Chengdu: Chinese visa extension reports

Hi,

I have a general question about chinese visa extension, I hope it's ok if I post it here.

What is exactly hotel registration ? I mean, are we supposed to give the registration of the first hotel in China, or I can ask any hotel where I stay to give me this paper ?
Thanks

Re: Cycle touring Kazakh Altai

Hi,

Finally, we didn't take the austrian road. There was still snow (end of june). So we cycled from shemonaikha to jeminay, we really enjoyed it. Kazakh people are nice. Don't hesitate if you have some questions about my route or everything else.

Hi
When this app is on your phone, can you see it ?
On jeminay they checked my phone but I don't think it has been set up.

Important thing: Our original plan was to cross the border by train so we took a ticket Novossibirsk - Oskemen. When going on the train the chef told us it was forbidden to fore...
