Flights to China

Hello… Been through the 3 pages of this thread and can’t find info I need… Then again, this is probably a reflection of my social isolation in Taiwan… I seldom go out with other Westerners and live in TPE county…

Can Westerners get direct flights to China from Songshan airport? Or must we still go to HK, apply for tourist or business visa - then on to the PRC destination?

Can a visa app be made to HK (to go to greater PRC) via post from TW?
(for example, when I was working in JeonJu [central Korea], I applied for TW visa from TW consulate in Seoul VIA POST… TW consulate sent the TW 60 day visa to my Hogwan [=language academy] in Central Korea, as Seoul was too far away)

Bottom line is, I’m looking at doing 3 to 4 months of teaching in the PRC, then doing a TOEIC teaching course [in Beijing] in December…

I’m sorry if my questions appear dumb, but -as I said- I’m outside of this sort of conversation in my daily life… Any help is most appreciated.

Have moved this topic to ‘Where Can I Find’ forum…
