Are there any bus from Longyan to Ganzhou in Jiangxi available. What 's about the bus timetable. If available , do it faster than train? The train normally use 4-5 hours.

Does anyone knows if there is any rockclimbing going on in Xiamen?

Hi, I will be visiting Xiamen in NOV, intending to spend 3 days there.
Do you have any suggestions for some quick sight see or any day trips?

I am writing from Singapore.
I plan to travel to Xiamen on 7 Nov 07, and would like to take a train to Wuyishan on evening of 8 Nov 07.

Could all the experience traveller advise how can I book train ticket in advance and get it delivered to my hotel on 7 Nov 07?

Alternatively, can anybody advise how and where can I book 2 days tour package to wuyishan (include to and fro train ticket)? I would like to get this package booked before I left for Xiamen.
Thanks in advance for all useful advise.

Not a question this time but a big thankyou to everyone at VT who has helped me plan my trip to China, which starts tomorrow (11th October). I have been toying with different locations and ideas for over a year now, and asked many questions (sorry guys) but now I am all sorted and off for my once only holiday of a lifetime.

Thanks to you all

Is it possible to do a day trip to Nanputuo? If positive, what is the best way to go about? Can I book a day tour from the hotel lobby or from a local travel agency? Thanks

Hi guys I will be in Xiamen from the 14th October and will stay at the Home Inn but thought it might be worth staying on the island as I plan to visit for the day. Are there any budget hotels there ? I read that the Lizhi Dao was cheap (according to the ROUGH GUIDE) but can't find it on the net.

As for Xiamen I am staying 4 nights and may change hotel to a smaller one which again is about 200-220 RMB......does anyone know of any that are good ?

My plans in October take me to Xiamen for two days and then inland to Yongyan and Yongding where I want to see the Hakka houses. I plan to stop over in Longyan from Xiamen and bus to the Hakka houses. The train appears to stop on route to Shenzhen in Longding, so do I buy a train ticket which covers my whole journey from Xiamen to Shenzhen (if thats at all possible), or do I have to buy seperate tickets for Xiamen to Longyan, then again from Longding to Shenzhen ?

I really don't want to get stranded in Longding !!!

All suggestions welcome and if its easier to do this another way then please tell me

I have read this is a very unspoilt and ancient place to visit, so as I am going to be in Yongding I shall stay here for a night before heading back to Shenzhen.

Can anyone recommend some accommodation here ?

It looks like I can take a long time to take a train, then bus travelling from Shenzhen to Wenzhuo. The train alone from Longyan to Fuzhou takes 12 hrs !!! So am i being really stupid attempting this journey just to reach Wenzhuo ? The flight back appears to cost about 90GBP which is not cheap.

I am worried that attempting to get to Wenzhuo and back will take me too many days and I only have 4 to do it in.

How easy is it to get to them and is it possible to enter the structures?

I am coming to Xiamen to live in February. We have 4 young children, so we will need a fairly big apartment. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, what is usually included in "furnished" apartments? Do we need to bring our own bedding, kitchen utensils, etc or are they usually provided, like they are here in Australia?

We are an Australian couple coming to live in Quanzhou Fujian for 12 month teaching contract.
