Tips for Travelling from Sydney and Melbourne to Guangzhou
Do Australians need a visa to travel to Guangzhou?
Australians need to apply for a China visa before the tour to Guangzhou, as no visa-upon-arrival is conducted. You can go to the Chinese Visa Application Service Center in Sydney or Melbourne, to apply for the visa. If you just want to make a transit in Guangzhou, you may apply for the 144-hour visa-free transit on your arrival at Guangzhou airport, which allows you to tour Guangzhou for at most 144 hours without a China visa before leaving for the third country/ region.
Time Difference between Australia and China
Australian time is 3 hours earlier than the China time. That’s to say, when it’s 09:00 in the morning in Guangzhou, it is 12:00 at noon in Sydney and Melbourne on the same day. The small jet lag would be easy to deal with.
Money Exchange between Australian Dollar & China Yuan
1 AUD ≈ 5 CNY at the current rate
It’s advised to exchange cashes upon your arrival at Guangzhou airport if you need. There are a few counters for you to exchange your money into China Yuan.
Voltage and Plug Differences
The voltage in Australia is fixed at 240V/50Hz, but China’s is 220V/50Hz. The plugs in the two countries are alike, but the directions of the sockets are in reverse. The Australian sockets are in inverted triangle, and Chinese sockets are put upside. To sum up, you don’t need a voltage adaptor or plug adaptor on your Melbourne and Sydney to Guangzhou tour due to the subtle differences.
Make Phone Calls from Melbourne / Sydney to Guangzhou
