New Members glane Posted February 7, 2012 at 02:16 AM New Members Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 at 02:16 AM Hi! I was recently given an address to send a package too as well as the English version. I tried to format it myself and I was wondering if it is correct. Thanks! 叶子 电话号: - 海南省海口市琼山区板桥路海南中学 邮编:571158 中国 Yezi Phone #: - Number 187 Dalu Street, Longkun South Road Fucheng Subdistrict Haikou City , Hainan Province China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted February 7, 2012 at 01:36 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 at 01:36 PM The format looks mostly okay (I would just put the house number in the same line as the street, but that's a detail), but the English address is completely different from the Chinese one. The Chinese address in English: Yezi Hainan Middle School Banqiao Lu [number...] Jingshan District Haikou Hainan Province PR China 571158 If it's a letter, there is no real need to include the phone number. If it's a parcel, you can write it on it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liuzhou Posted February 7, 2012 at 02:08 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 at 02:08 PM This is rather confusing. First of all, the Chinese and English addresses you give are different. What is it you are trying to format? The Chinese? If so, the Chinese goes from large to small and the address is not split into lines as the English is. So it should be 571158 海南省海口市琼山区板桥路 (Street No) 号海南中学 Then the recipient's name followed by (收) (Is the name 叶子? That just means 'leaf' It isn't a real name.) No need to write China in Chinese. The Chinese postmen probably know Hainan is in China. If you are posting from outside China, write China in English. It's your local postal authorities who need to understand it.

shinewind Posted February 14, 2012 at 12:49 AM Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 at 12:49 AM I agree with liuzhou. Not an acceptable name for post office and cofusing address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
