Q: Where and how can I get postal services?

A: Tourist hotels provide postal services. If you want to send important items such as antiques or cultural relics that are under customs control, you must consult the local branch of the international post office, instead of a small post office in the hotel.

In addition to regular postal services, the International Post & Telecommunications Office handles remittances, money orders, telegraphic money transfers, international and domestic telephone and telegraph services. In the same building there is a customs office for those who need customs clearance. Additionally, packages can be collected from this office.

You can also send postcards, letters and express mail to any place in the world via China Post, FedEx or China Air Express. However, any form of publication (such as books, magazines and newspapers) or parcels, must be sent from an authorized post office.
