Tidbits on the new GZ consulate

[PhillyJon 2]

Just a couple of take aways from our interview this week. A few weeks ago, someone mentioned that they needed to copy the P4 email at the last minute. They found a little print shop just around the corner that was convenient and grossly overpriced. We found ourselves in that same shop. The wife walked out when she heard the prices. We found another place a few blocks away. The wife was happy not to get "cheated" and when she's happy I'm happy. It's at the wuyangcun subway stop on line 5, one stop away from the consulate. But it's a short walk and you don't need the subway if you have time. Ph# 020-37570559. qq:2720168748.

If you like traditional Chinese food and you're staying near the consulate, you're in a world of hurt. We found one good place, but I lost the name. From the consulate, go west on Huali Rd from the consulate, two blocks past the starbucks you'll hit a dead end/ freeway. Pretty much directly across the freeway is one big restaurant. The overpass is to the right. You can follow these directions to the print shop too. It's pretty much dead at the bottom of the pedestrian overpass on the other side.

Tip number 3. If you want more real GZ cuisine, take the subway Line 5 two stops from Zhujiang New Town to Yangji and transfer to Line 1. Then 7 stops to Changshou Rd. There's a food street with a couple of restaurants and a lot of little shops. The little street runs into a pedestrian street with more restaurants. That's what I found in a couple of days. Maybe some of you know other good GZ restaurants etc.

I tried to find the alleged GZ Consulate page on VJ, but couldn't.

That was us that had the issues at the medical needing a copy of P4 when they said they needed the "appointment letter." I still don't understand how "appointment letter" means P4 when it doesn't even include the appointment, just how to schedule one, lol. The prices were absolutely ridiculous but just wanted to get it done and over with. My lady wasn't happy either.

There's a western food restaurant that's pretty good right next to the print shop, about a half block away from the consulate next to the medical place. They hardly speak any english. I was unable to order by myself!

So you need to bring the actual P4 Packet Instructions? and not the letter?

The email. Just bring a copy of the "P4" email. You need it for both the medical and the interview appointment.

Yes, we needed the P4 letter, not the scheduled appointment letter.
