Hi Erik, Here's the website for the Chinese consulate in
Chicago: http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/hzqz/default.htm
All the info you need should be on there but I believe
you'll have to personally visit the office (or send a proxy)
to get your visa.
From what I understand from friends and colleagues - it's a relatively fast and simple procedure. Re: Shanghai - the only thing off the top of my head that I would recommend is that you stay in Shanghai proper, not the Pudong side - Pudong is a brand, shiny new city of highrises (they totally obliterated the communities that were previously there) - IMHO it represents future Shanghai - the heart and soul of the city is the historic part. Would be happy to answer any specific questions you might have. Best regards, Judy in HK |
