We are visit Wuhan (China) via Shenzen on 19 Jun 09, then from wuhan
we would like to visit Hang zhou then Shanghai which takes only 1 weeks.

Please advise the following:

1) Any visa application requires Hang zhou and Shanghai travelling by train.
2) My passport expire on 22 Oct 09 which have a validality less than 6 mths
does I need to apply for new passport. If so, I will have a issue with
ticket which purchase under old passport.
3) Pls advise an alternative to solve this issue, an extension of validity
to the new passport possible ?

Awaiting your expedite reply urgently, appreciate the authority can reply
by 15 Jun 09.

Thank You
Angeline
