After arriving at the police station, an employee there told us that it’s impossible to apply for a work visa in China. We needed to go to Hong Kong to do it, so we went to the frontier port, but we still couldn’t find the place where we could apply for a work visa. That man said that I needed to go to Hong Kong alone, then came back. That way I could find the place. I listened to his arrangement, but I still couldn’t find that place.

The grammar is correct, but "frontier port" sounds a bit strange, maybe there is another word? It might be the correct word, but I am not familiar with it

That man said that I would needed to go to Hong Kong alone, (and) then caome back.

That way I cwould (be able to) find the place.

I listenfollowed to his arrangementinstructions, but I still couldn’t find that/the place.

Listen to instructions: just listening, not doing anything
