China Post is the official postal service of the Peopleís Republic of China, operated by the State Postal Bureau. Post offices bear a striking green logo, and are easily found everywhere in the cities. The operating time is 8:00 am – 6:00 pm seven days a week, but in some remote areas, the post office may be closed on weekends.
Local rates are inexpensive and international rates are reasonable. Tourist hotels usually have their own post offices and shipping services, but hotel front desks provide the most convenient places for travelers to drop mail. All major international courier services have offices in major Chinese cities, and travelers can arrange with their hotel for pickup.
