Do not guess your entry path
China entry rules depend on nationality, purpose of travel, route, length of stay, and sometimes city pair. Confirm the current requirement before you rely on old advice.
Verify these items
- Passport validity and blank pages.
- Visa requirement, visa-free eligibility, or transit policy for your exact route.
- Hotel or host address needed for forms.
- Return or onward ticket requirements.
- Any airline document checks before boarding.
