Dear Bernadette See,

Thanks for your message as below,

From Putuoshan how do we go to Ningbo Train Station? How long is the travel time by land?

Please kindly be advised that there isn’t direct bus from Putuoshan to Ningbo as Putuoshan is located at Zhoushan Island. At first, you will need to take ferry from Putuoshan to Wugongzhi boat terminal, then take bus No 27 to Shenjiamen Cheng Beijing Bus Station, from which you could take bus to Ningbo Train Station. It takes about 2 hours from Shenjiamen to Ningbo Train Station.

Xiapu, located in the northeast of Fujian,  is China's famous "kelp town", "seaweed town". It is  known as one of the Top 10  photography bases. Wing long coastline, shallow sea and fine sandy beaches , it offers not only a unique natural condition for sea planting, but also a unique view of photography.

Please be advised that there are more than 15 bullet trains or high speed trains from Fuzhou to Xiapu every day. Therefore, the cheapest way to travel from Fuzhou to Xiapu is taking train. Then it is easy to  take a  taxi or local bus from Xiapu train station to your hotel.

The best time to visit Xiapu is from June to November every year, when it is easier to take good pictures. We suggest you stay for 2 days in Xiapu to travel around and take pictures.

Hope the above is helpful.

Hi, I would like to buy a ticket for a bus from chongqing to zhangjiajie on July 16. how do i do this? how much is it?

Hi, Anna Ortaaslan,

Thanks for your question.

Well noted that you would like to take bus from Chongqing to Zhangjiajie.

Please kindly be advised that there is only one bus from Chongqing to Zhangjiajie every day.
The bus departs at 11:30 every day from Chongqing Bus Station 重庆汽车站（ address in Chinese:重庆市渝中区菜袁路6号）.
We suggest you go to the bus station to buy the tickets in advance by yourself, then take the bus on time at the station to Zhangjiajie. If you have guide service in Chongqing, it will be helpful and more convenient for you to deal with the ticket issue.

It takes about 9.5 hours on the way. In this case, you will arrive in Zhangjiajie after 21:00. The bus will stop at Zhangjiajie Zhongxin Bus Station 张家界中心汽车站 （address in Chinese：湖南省张家界市官黎路官黎坪新火车站旁）. The Bus station is in the city of Zhangjiajie, which is still far from Zhangjiajie Scenic Area (Wulingyuan District). Therefore, we suggest you book a hotel in the city of Zhangjiajie on July16. Then start your Zhangjiajie tour from July 17. Mt. Tianmenshan is just at the suburbs of Zhangjiajie city, which can be your first stop in the morning of July 17.

We suggest you the Zhangjiajie tour itinerary as below for reference,
Day01 Arrival Zhangjiajie and stay at a hotel in the city of Zhangjiajie
Day02 In the morning, go to visit Mt. Tianmenshan with cable car. In the late afternoon, take bus to Wulingyuan and stay at a hotel in Wulingyuan.
Day03 Visit Yuanjiajie with Bailong Elevator up, Mt. Tianzishan with cable car down. Ten-mile Galary by small train. In the afternoon, visit The Glass Bridge at Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon.
Day04 Departure from Zhangjiajie (If your flight is at night, you could choose to visit Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Huangshi Village with cable car and trek along Golden Whip Stream.

Hope the above is clear and helpful. If you would like to read more Zhangjiajie tour information, please check on our website.

How can I get an invitation letter through a travel agency for my visa application when applying for chinese visa from sri lanka?

Dear Kalani Kulathilaka,

Thanks for contacting Top China Travel!

Traveller from Sri Lanka should be paid attention that it may be hard to successfully apply the China tourist visa if you are individual traveler or a travel group with 4 pax or fewer.

So the basic conditions to apply China tourist visa for travelers from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are:
► A travel group with at least 5 pax (including 5 pax)
► The original invitation letter authorized by related China Foreign Affair department

Quotation based on 5 or above pax is offered for you, while quotation based on 4 or fewer pax may be refused by us because of the hard China tourist visa application procedure.

For Terms and Conditions of China Visa Invitation Letter:
A China visa invitation letter is a part of your China tour package. TopChinaTravel can send an invitation letter to you on condition that you book your China tour package including all accommodation, transfer and sightseeing activities through Top China Travel. The sending of a China visa invitation letter alone is not allowed. Top China Travel will process your invitation letter after we have received the full payment from you.

You are responsible for your own China visa application from your local Chinese Embassy. Top China Travel can not offer you any assistance whatsoever with this process, nor guarantee of the success of your visa application. If your application is rejected, fax us the copies of your passport with the rejected confirmation by Chinese Embassy, we will refund your full payment of the tour, only charge the service fee for the invitation letter.

For a group under 5, the service fee is US $ 80 for the whole group. For a group of over 5 including 5, the service fee is US $10 for each person. In addition, US $50 is required for courier of original documents.

Any further request or question, please feel free to contact with us.
