Taishan Travel Forum

I have heard that in the past, you could get a visa to enter China from Hong Kong while you were there and that it was pretty quick. I am planning to be in Hong Kong in December, and would like to take a day trip to Taishan. My questions- Is that enough time or should I plan for an overnight? Are there any organized tours (that might make it easier to get a group visa)? Should I get a visa for China in the US or would I be able to get it when I am in Hong Kong? Thanks so much for any insight.

I would like to visit my parent's village (Shik Pam Hom) next year. The problem is, I have no clue where this is, where to stay, would I need a guide, where can I fine one, is it safe to wonder around town by myself. Any info anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Anything.
Thanks!

Hi,

I was wondering about how many US dollars would it cost to go to San Ba from Taicheng in a taxi?

Also, are there any other transportations to the villages in Taishan other than taxis? If so, how much would that form of transportation cost?

Thank you very much

Hi all VTers,
Could anyone tell me if it is possible to go to Taishan from Hong Kong by boat, and travel time for the journey.
TIA
