      I think you may be overplaying the value of your personal details. These cheap airfares were common place pre-covid..so good to see things going back to normality. As comparison, this is cheaper than Scoot and this is a full service airline with good safety record 46kg luggage and (forgetful quality) meal

      much better than QF and VA, clean aircraft, clean bathroom all the time, on-time departure, inflight entertainment, new aircraft, 2-time good quality and quantity meal service and wines, beer and soft drink included plus 2 checked baggage and English-speaking staff. The only disadvantage is that this aircraft is full so don't expect your next seat to be free, can't find fault with them.

      I flew last week, London- Guanzhao- Sydney. They're fine, Dreamliners on each leg.. Not quite Singapore Airline levels but easily matches Etihad, Emirates etc.

      I dislike Guangzhao airport though- it's huge, but empty and quite confusing. Limited food choice after security, Chinese sit down restaurants only, a Starbucks and a few coffee shops that I bought the absolute worst pizza of my life. Considering the size of the place, it's bizarrely empty, no food court to pick up something fast.

      We stayed over in the Pullman airport hotel- I assumed we could walk to this, but it's actually a shuttle bus in the complete opposite direction to where the signs tell you. Less than 100m from the airport but can't walk there.

      The 24 hour Visa exemption was very slow and lots of confused looking people around. All in all, it took 3-4 hours to get through immigration to the hotel.

      I'd avoid a layover in Guangzhou again, but very happy to fly China Southern again. For the price of the flight, it's a no brainer.

        Hey @edfoo, did you do your own thing while there, or were you on a tour?.

        There is a lot of negative media about China, but I am still keen to visit someday. Given the major differences in language and culture, and the scary thought of what seems like extreme government surveillance, I am a little hesitant to do my own thing in case of doing something wrong or offending the locals (obviously common sense prevails but still - you never know).
        A tour would take the stress out of it but is definitely my least preferred option. Appreciate any insights or tips you might have from your recent visit.

            @TightAl: Three weeks ago, I spoke to an Englishman who was jailed for six weeks in China for straying into a prohibited area. The UK Embassy was not told of his arrest. He was not allowed to communicate with the outside world. After six weeks in jail, he was given two alternatives:

            1. Confess and pay $US100 for the PLA's petrol and be released.
            2. Spend 15 to 20 years in jail.

            He chose Alternative 1

                @May4th: He wanted to climb a mountain in China.

                He was arrested by the PLA for being in a prohibited area.

                He was not handed over to the local police.

                The $US100 for petrol was for the PLA to transport him to an area of China which was not a prohibited area.

              @klrrider1: Did you have a spy friend, or get paid for making up stories?

              There are millions of expats in China. China’s government has been criticised by the locals for being too kind to foreigners.

              The legal process for sentencing individuals, whether local or foreign, to 15 years in jail involves a thorough and lengthy trial, akin to the legal system in Australia.

              The police can only detain people for up to 24 hours. They cant put people in jail.

                  @TightAl: What exactly was the prohibited area? Military base?

                  If it was US military base, You would be arrested and charged with a federal crime. It also depends where they find as to whether they'd kill you.

                  On some military bases shooting unauthorized persons is a real thing. A security police on a strategic air command base said his orders were to shoot and kill anyone who came into the restricted area he guarded.

          there's not much you can do to offend locals. they mostly keep to themselves, and usually helpful if they can understand what you are saying. chinese people are fairly relaxed about eating on streets/being loud on public transport and probably guilty of similar themselves. you won't get arrested for PDA or for what you wear if that's what you worry about. even if you do something odd if you look foreign people will understand

          I am Chinese background (not from China) and can speak so-so Mandarin. We visited there on our own (family member and relatives), quite easy once I have learnt to pay mostly with WeChat Pay app. Travel either by calling Didi (their equivalent of Uber) or with their Metro railway to visit places. Some popular tourist destinations need to pre-purchase their tickets a few days before hand, we have asked the hotel concierge to organise for us a few times. The main streets of those cities are generally clean, even cleaner than some streets in Sydney city. And yes I have noticed there are more police, security guards, soldiers and CCTVs, I feel safe most of the time wondering around the streets. I still think joining a tour is a better choice if this is your first time to China and you don't speak Mandarin.

          • ryefig on 26/04/2024 - 09:53

            @edfoo: Thaks for your reply, appreciate your insights.

            I have heard that you need to have WeChat to pay for most things. I like to use public transport in new places to travel, as you get to see the 'real' side of the city.

            Thanks for your opinion about taking a tour. I think you are right, it might just be the easier option.

      Although it's true that China has a slot of great history. Though alot of the books were burnt and history has been over written and controlled by the CCP. Would only trust their history with a grain of salt.

        China preserves millions of historical books and scrolls dating back thousands of years. Despite that Chinese language evolved, it remains remarkably consistent and highly readable.

        The ability to read ancient books is mandatory skill through primary school to high school. What make you think cpc overwrote the history?

        Additionally, Chinese history is documented in various archives and collections in other countries.

      Because the airlines know you don't have time to shop around! And if you're booking a flight for tonight, they could reasonably assume you need to get to your destination ASAP, so they can charge particularly high prices for direct flights.
