We did both a few years ago....hard to believe you go on a sunset cruise at Longreach!

I think I have done the Gordon River cruise twice now ...it is very scenic and relaxing. IIRC, you get off the boat and walk around Sarah Island for a while.

We flew Vietjet From Sgn to Hui last year...no issues with this 90 min flight. Landed a few minutes early too and baggage arrived. One small non airline issue...our luggage was opened ?at Sgn ?by airport security but nothing was missing. Locked was not cut hence me thinking it was airport...

I believe trip.com charges a small surcharge whereas 12306 does not.

Yup...was standing ouside Hilton Xi'An and google maps said the hotel was 500m away! A Map all the way in China!

Yup, +1 had to use her mum's local number to register for 12306 to buy train tickets without the booking fee that trip.com charges.

As I said, in Guangzhou, the public incl hotel WiFi does not seem to have a Firewall....in Xian and Chengdu different story. At Hilton Xian, the hotel Wifi actually disabled my VPN! In future trips to China, I will just buy double the data I normally would buy...having said that, I have just...

Currently on Day 18 of a 19 Day trip to China...would love the Visa free status to continue beyond 31.12.25!

Just to wrap up....Interesting, on connecting to the Conrad Guangzhou WiFi, there was no Firewall at all! Had lunch in a Dim Sum place in city, and there was no Firewall on their Wifi either...was able to post on FB using their WiFi :) Have just over 2 GB left on my foreign registered SIM card...
