Sichuan is a 'little bigger' than Singapore, and there are like 11 airports in the province itself. Where are you going in sichuan?

ehhh i dunno where she stay in sichuan (haven ask her yet). I can stay any place in sichuan also can la. Just wanna know take flight to haikou, guangzhou or shenzhen which one nearer to take train. Not intending to take domestic flights.

If I boldly assume that you are visiting Chengdu, the capital city in Sichuan, then Guangzhou is slightly nearer. Either way, a flight starting from GZ or SZ will take 2 to 2.5 hrs to reach Chengdu. So if you going by train (transfer from airport to train station and all), it's going to be a lifetime of experience squeezed into that one or two days of travelling. So bro, take care. If you've never been to China before, I strongly suggest taking direct flight.

Sichuan is not small!
Wudang, shaolin, five gorges all in sichuan.
If you say main int'l airport then its Chengdu airport
4hrs35min flt via Silk Air or Air China.
Silk air departs 10+am arrive just after 3pm
Air China departs early like 7+am arrives before noon
To stay there, I wud recommend Shangri-la..the latest n newest top notch hotel that's walking distance to their popular nite spots.

one more thing. how to apply visa? now china need visa... me nvr apple b4. Cos everytime go is no need one.

You need to go to the Chinese Embassy located at 150 Tanglin Road. Cost is around $25 for normal processing and higher for express. Now that the Olympics is over, i think it may not be required?

The Chinese Embassy website

Just to sidetrack from the main topic a bit.

FYI, Wudang is in Hubei province and Shaolin is in Henan province. Nvr heard of Five Gorges. Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng is in Sichuan though!

Cheers!
