For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Michael - I don't know if you know Changchun but a taxi from the airport will be about 80-100 RMB into the centre of town
there is a speed train but this stops at about 8-9 pmAlso, coaches but do not know anything about them!

China Eastern Air – Flight 5629 | 2h 20m | |||
Take-off | Fri 2:40p | PVG | Shanghai, SH, China | ||
Landing | Fri 5:00p | CGQ | Changchun, JL, China |
The itinerary looks ok and the listed price on Kayak is a bit pricy: $366 incl. taxes. Would you by any chance have connections for a lower rate?
With regarding to your visa issue, I couldn't find anything online mentioning it.
Hi Simon,
You wrote, "There is actually a direct flight leaving HK on Friday 26th August directly to Changchun with 20 minute refueling stop in Guangzhou, that ticket is 1850RMB including tax."
That sounds like the best price I can get right now. When does it fly out of Hong Kong? The earlier the better for me. And what is the best way we can work this out?
Another quick question: I am coming into Changchun on a Business Visa - do I need a R/T ticket? Or is one way ok?
