Q: Could anybody tell me which source is true on the matter of traveling to Shanghai?

I've been told from a person that the price to SHanghai was really cheap. The girl I talked to said she got her ticket during the Spring Festival time and it was cheap. She told me it would be a lot cheaper after the Spring Festival. Later, I read that going to Shanghai and some other place; can't remember the other place they mentioned in the article, but they said it was expensive. Which source should I believe? Does anybody have any experience on traveling to Shanghai from Beijing?

In general, holiday travel is more expensive, since all spaces are sold for every departure, no need for discounts.  So, I would guess that after the holidays, when things go back to normal, you will see discounts again.

But be aware, that is only for airplanes, trains and buses are seldom discounted, only official price,.

crimochina:

sorry to disagree with you. sometimes, during the spring festival flights are cheapest in and out of the major cities.

As always the price for anything is always very subjective. What might be cheap for one person, is expensive for another. Yes, all travel prices in China go up around any holiday time and later come down again. Often, it also depends from where you will come, what your starting point/city is. I have traveled from Shanghai to Beijing - round trip -  but always avoid major holidays. Also... you might compare prices: plane versus bullet train. These trains are awesome and you get to see some of the country at the same time.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
