Travel Documents Needed

Before booking your trip with us, the first thing you will need is a Chinese Entry Visa. This can be easily obtained from the nearest Chinese embassy in your country. For some European countries and a few countries in North America, it is possible to apply for the visa by mail, so you don't have to personally go to the embassy. The application will require your valid passport, two passport-sized photos, a completed application form, as well as proof of your return or onward flight, and hotel reservations in mainland China.
