Xi I would very much love to visit China. I promise to take pictures and videos that show China in a positive light because it's an amazing country. Please just help me with airfare costs.
It's kinda ridiculous how low the prices have dropped in Australia. Round trip Syd to Shanghai or Hainan for $400 AUD in October? 144 hour Visa? I could probably drag some of my white friends to go experience civilization.
I paid about $2500. Getting to northern China seems about $1000 more expensive from where I am than getting to HK, so I might do that and just go to the mainland from there next time.
