Hi There

My partner and I are flying from Australia to Kuala Lumpar in January. We wish to visit Bangkok and Phuket and were thinking of visiting China for a few days for some shopping. DO we require a Visa for CHina and how do we apply for one and could you tell us the approximate cost. Would you suggest we fly from Bangkok or KL to get to Guanzhou? Could you also give us some advice as to where we could find some model aeroplane wholesalers in China.
Many thanks for your help.
