Preparing for a Trip To China
July 27th, 2022
So you're planning a trip to China? Be prepared- you won't make it there if you overlook these three steps!
Step 1- Passport, Please
To travel to China, you need:
A US passport, valid for at least 6 months after you plan to travel. If you applying for a one year multiple entry visa, you need to have at least a year left on your passport.
Enough blank visa pages in the back to accommodate all of the visas and stamps you'll receive on your journey.

Applying for a travel visa for one of the countries on this list? You'll probably want to seek professional help with the application process from an experienced group of experts.

With 16 different types of Indian visas to choose from with varying requirements, and a sometimes nit-picky application process, it helps to have a professional visa expediter to guide you through the process and act as your advocate.
China
With an alphabet soup of different visa types, you need to make sure y
Chinese Visa Requirements to Visit the Temple of Heaven
June 5th, 2011
As if you needed another reason to get a Chinese visa, UNESCO has one more for you: This month's featured World Heritage Site is located in Beijing and dates back to the Ming Dynasty. For almost 500 years starting in 1420, Chinese emperors worshiped at the Temple of Heaven, a staggeringly beautiful complex of temples and altars built according to Taoist principles. Here, the emperors performed prayers and ceremonies to ensure bountiful harvests and favorable weather for growing crops.
UNESCO calls it "a masterpiece of architecture and landscape design which simply and graphically illustrates a cosmogony of great importance for the evolution of one of the world’s great civilizations."
The Temple of Heaven stopped being used as such in 1911, when the ceremonies were forbidden by the
A Chinese Visa: Your Key to Enter the Forbidden City
April 17th, 2011
This week's featured UNESCO World Heritage Site was the home of the last two great Chinese dynasties: the Ming and the Qing. Once, the Forbidden City was the center of the Chinese empire. Nobody could enter or leave without the permission of the emperor, hence the name.
The last emperor of China was kicked out of the palace in 1924, and the Forbidden City is now the Palace Museum, open to anyone who can pay the fees. Still, it continues to impress and delight visitors.
Part of the Forbidden City's grandeur comes simply from its scale. It is the largest palace complex in the world, and took 15 years to build. When the trees were cut down for the main hall, records indicate that the massive trunks were too big for workers to move. Instead, they had to wait for floods to wash them
