Great Tour guide(Jiang) in Beijing
![]() Jiang was an excellent tour guide, on time and always endeavoured to help. He helped us with requests such as buying tea.

A:The Chinese visa is generally valid to enter Chinafor 3 months from the issue date. Please apply for your visa within 3 months of entry into China, according to your travel itinerary, and avoid expiry of the visa. Also don't apply too late to avoid the extra cost of express application processing.
