What Most Foreigners Need at the Border

  • Passport valid for at least six months with blank visa pages
  • Visa sticker / visa-free eligibility proof matching your nationality
  • Return or onward ticket (especially for 240-hour transit)
  • Hotel bookings or a Chinese host address for the arrival card
  • Proof of funds is rarely checked for tourism, but keep cards and a backup payment method ready

Your generated list adapts to visa-free, transit, mutual exemption, or L visa paths so you do not pack the wrong paperwork.
