Postal Service

Letters to Europe take approximately one week and to North America, 10 days. All incoming mail from other countries should have "The People's Republic of China" in the address. Tourist hotels may offer postal services. China Post is reliable, but it does not match international courier companies in infrastructure and modern technology.
