Forums > Travel Yunnan > Tourist Visa's killing me softly

My bad. I saw tourist visa and didn't register the duly authorised part.

They are normally only necessary if you are travelling on a package tour. If you contact some HK travel agents they might be able to arrange for you (possibly IT travel agents too).

Alternatively, you could arrange a regular invitation letter and get all the other docs together to go and apply again. If you've spent some time in China you will know that just because they said one thing when you talked to them last, it doesn't mean that if you go to visa office again another day or talk to a different person that they will all have the same requirements.

You could also ask a travel agent to lodge the visa for you and see if that changes things around.

Invitation letter is dead easy. Anyone living legally in China can usually write it. When I have had family and friends come to visit I have just written it myself (I'm Australian with a working visa).

Just be aware that whoever writes it essentially is responsible if you violate your visa, so be considerate to whoever you ask and follow the rules.

Motor boats aren't allowed on the lake, with the exception of safety craft operated by the local government. All the fishing vessels you see are powered the old fashioned way.

As for the road, at the moment you can take the Kunyu highway about half the way and then have to turn off onto smaller roads. Wouldn't be so difficult driving if their weren't so many trucks on the road which struggle with the hills and some of the bumpier sections. Once you get to the lake however, it is pretty smooth driving, and a really easy connection from Yuxi City (still involves a few painful sections though). Normally takes about 45 mins to reach the lake from downtown Kunming.

Awesome little bakery. Lots of interesting food. For every Australian out there, the meat pies smelled great, though they weren't ready for eating when I went in. Will definitely be back for those soon.
