I recently posted a letter from Hengyang City to the UK. The letter came back to me without ever going to the UK. I complained to the Post Office they said i had not addressed it correctly, or so i assumed, they did not speak any English and i don"t speak Chinese.
What i want to know, how do you address a letter from China to the UK. A visual example would be excellent like a photo of both sides of the envelope.
Many thanks.

I send letters around the world and when for example I send to Russia I type the address in Russian and use Google translate to type it in English too. So I have the address typed in both languages, side by side and glued or sellotaped onto the front of the envelope.They always gets delivered safely.

You could also try writing the Chinese characters for England (英国) just below where you write U.K. in your address.
