Hey nielsjorgen, the subway card itself, which is called yikatong 一卡通 in chinese costs 40 kuai, out of which 20 kuai is a deposit and the other 20 you can use as subway or busfare.

Most of the major stations can make a card for you. in the subway it doesnt get you any discount on the fare, just the big advantage that you can jump the ticket line. in the buses it gives a lot of discount especially on long distance trips.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
