CN China Entry Guide Entry Checker Countries Checklist Arrival Toolkit Sources Eight practical areas for entering China This page turns the homepage categories into practical instructions.
Each section explains what the traveler should do, what data the website should show, and which page supports the task.
1.
Entry policy checker The user starts with nationality, passport type, travel purpose, arrival city, stay length, and onward destination.
The site should return a practical result: visa-free entry may apply, tourist visa is usually required, or 240-hour transit needs route verification.
Each answer must show source links, last-reviewed date, and a warning that final authority belongs to border inspection, visa authorities, and airlines.
Open checker Country index 2.
Visa application guide This section helps travelers avoid choosing the wrong visa type.
Tourism usually maps to L, commercial visits to M, exchange visits to F, employment to Z, study to X1/X2, and family/private affairs to Q or S categories.
The user should see the purpose, basic documents, local visa center step, and official source reminder.
Visa types Visa rules 3.
Pre-travel checklist A good checklist converts policy into action.
It should ask for nationality, purpose, entry route, arrival city, and stay length, then produce documents to prepare: passport, visa or transit proof, onward ticket, hotel booking, travel insurance, medicine notes, payment setup, mobile data, emergency contacts, and printed backups.

Airport arrival flow Foreign visitors often worry about what happens after landing.
The page should explain immigration, fingerprints, arrival questions, customs declaration, baggage claim, SIM/eSIM activation, payment setup, cash backup, taxi or metro route, and hotel check-in.
City-specific airport pages can reuse this structure.
Airport guide Hotel registration 5.
Payment and mobile data This is one of the most practical and commercial sections.
Travelers need Alipay, WeChat Pay, card backup, small cash backup, eSIM or roaming, and troubleshooting steps.
The site should clearly say that app support and limits can change, so users should test setup before relying on it.
Alipay WeChat Pay eSIM 6.
Transport in China This section should help users move confidently: airport transfers, metro, taxis, DiDi, high-speed rail, Trip.com or 12306 ticketing, passport checks, station security, Chinese address saving, and route examples.
It also connects naturally to city guides and affiliate services.
Rail guide DiDi guide 7.
City and itinerary guides City pages make the site useful beyond visa questions.
Each city should include arrival airport, best stay areas, 2-3 day itinerary, payment/data tips, high-speed rail connections, local cautions, and 240-hour transit route ideas where relevant.
Start with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhangjiajie.

FAQ and risk notes Risk notes protect users and the site.
Cover third-country ticket misunderstandings, Hong Kong/Macau routing, visa-free purpose limits, study/work restrictions, hotel registration, medicine rules, source conflicts, policy update timing, and what to do if airline check-in disagrees with a website answer.
