      China Visa Free Entry Extended to 30 days

      By zhouhaochen Started

      https://english.www.gov.cn/news/202411/22/content_WS67407351c6d0868f4e8ed533.html   Pretty cool. They added 9 other countries too, mostly small ones, except Japan. Very easy for Europeans to go to China now. USA, UK and Canada are the three ones not on the list yet....

      [Solved] How do I download Chinese apps from Europe?

      By banjo67xxx Started

      My son has just switched from iPhone to Andriod (Samsung) and can't find many of his favourite apps.   He's used my wife's Chinese iTunes account up until now on the iPhone, but as Google Play doesn't work in China there's no point using a VPN for it. We tried using a VPN to Taiwan & Singapore (my personal VPN is offline right now) and logging in to the Galaxy Store, but it immediately detects that we're in Zürich even without the SIM card.   There surely must be some 老外 with Android phones Samsungs even that they bought overseas and want to use the local apps in China. How did you download them?

      x and sh in pinyin... bit of an argument (with a native speaker)

      By TaxiAsh Started

      I was watching snooker last night, and a discussion about the pronunciation of Xiao Guodong started. ( 肖国栋)  The short exchange here was about his family name, but in the show, I noticed they pronounce guo as gu - but that's an aside...   A native speaker said I and someone else were wrong with the pronunciation. What's your take on it?

      Highspeed Rail: Electric Wheelchair

      By MadmaxxxMaSiDe Started

      Actually I‘m using a mobility scooter and lot a wheelchair, but the same rules apply when it comes to the battery.   So on China Eastern Airlines one is allowed one battery up to 300 WH for mobility aids. All other batteries must not exceed 100 WH.   Today I called 12306 to ask about advanced notification of the mobility scooter before booking a high Speed train to Hangzhou. She told me that this would be only possible ig my battery didn‘t exceed the 100 WH. I am pretty sure, that she didn‘t realize that other rules apply for mobility aids. Then again, I don‘t want to go to the train station without any confirmation about the battery.   Does anyone have experiences with Electric mobility aids on Chinese Highspeed trains or has seen at least an Electric Wheelchair on a train. I just can‘t believe that they wouldn‘g let anyone in an Electric wheelchair board.

      How often does The Chairman's Bao post new content?

      By Friday Started

      I really like Du Chinese, so was hoping The Chairman's Bao offered a similar reading tool.   But in my free version, I noticed two issues: (1) the audio was playing, but the text wasn't being highlighted to indicate which characters were being read and (2) it wasn't giving new articles daily, as I expect from a news site.   Over the several days I tried it, I never saw any new content appear. It also didn't appear to have any coverage of current events, world news, or even China news, just short articles about things like "Some pandas did something cute" or "someone broke a world record", kind of things that might be filler in a newspaper, not a headline.   I'm wondering if my experience was just limited by the fact I didn't have a paid account? Do they have updated news article daily?

      8 hour layover in Taipei, hoping to buy some books!

      By qitiandasheng Started

      大家好, longtime lurker first time poster!   I’m flying back home from Japan next week and will have an 8 hour layover at Taoyuan Int’l. It’ll take some time to travel into Taipei and go back through security, but I should have at least 3-4 hours in the city I think.    I’m working through a self-study list heavily inspired by this post by wibr, and I’d love to take advantage of this opportunity to buy as many of these books as I can carry as my “personal item” XD.    ICLP Supplementary Chinese Readers 中國寓言 中國的風俗習慣(一) 中國的風俗習慣(二) 中國民間故事(一) 中國民間故事(二) 中國歷史故事(一) 中國歷史故事(二)   Vivian Ling and More ICLP Supplementary Chinese Readers 思想與社會 當代中國散文選 當代中國短篇小說選 中國新時期名作選讀 從精讀到泛讀   So, I guess my question is… where to go? I’ve heard Lucky Bookstore is a good place for textbooks. Will they have the first seven ICLP books at least?
