We have a return ticket Kota Kinabalu/Taipei in mid May 2011. Plan to visit Yongding Hakka tulou in Fujian. Proposed flying to Kinmen (Taiwan) from Taipei and cross to Xiamen (China)by ferry. If everything goes well according to our plan, will go straight to Yongding upon arrival in Xiamen and will stay for 4 -5 days. Thereafter return to Kinmen by ferry via Xiamen.

Since we're on free and easy trip, we have no plan to pre book hotels in Xiamen or Yongding and will take any accomodation available upon arrival at our destination.

When we apply for single entry visa for China in Malaysia, we would not be able to provide proof of confirmeded ticket to our destination in China (cos we're travelling by ferry into/out of China). Will this pose a problem to get our visa approved?

Could we apply for our visa in Kuching instead of KL and collect our passports by the Thursday if we submit application on a Monday? (as in KL)?

We will be in Spore begining of April 2011. Alternatively could we apply for China visa for our proposed trip to Yongding while in Spore?

Than you for any advice.
