Travel Note
For people from US, Must-Have: Passport Optional: Visa Passport for Kids under 16 years old: You can visit this website ( https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/under-16.html )to get your passport. I found it’s easy to use online tool to complete the form and then go to USPS site to schedule an appointment. Photo can be taken onsite or taken by yourself and print out at Walgreen or CVS. Valid time is 2 years and please allow around 7-8 weeks for the processing. Visa options: Get a travel visa, you can stay longer in China Or 144-hour visa-free transit Under the 144-hour visa-free transit policy, US travelers can apply for a six-day entry permit to certain Chinese cities upon arrival at the port of entry. They also must show that they are traveling to a third country after leaving China, which means they must show a connecting ticket to a third country when arriving in China. This is a great option for people who want to make a short stop-over to explore various areas of the country.
