Practical Tips for Expats Travel in China

For expats in China, you can travel around China if you meet the requirements of the places you are going to visit. Things vary according to different regions you are heading to.

• Original Pass Port
• Original visa stamped with the latest date of entry (you are required to have entered China for at least 28 days)
• Health Code colored in green
• 14-Day Dynamic Trip Record

Some places may ask for other special requirements:

• Three-month Dynamic Trip Record (if you visit places like Hohhot in Inner Mongolia)
• Work Certificate from your organization (if you visit places like Dunhuang in Gansu)
• Other requirements (if you visit places like Xinjiang)

Most of the destinations in China are reopened, including the most popular Beijing, Xian, Zhangjiajie, Guilin, Huangshan, Yunnan, Chengdu, etc. However, Tibet and Aba Prefecture in Sichuan Province (Jiuzhai Valley, Huanglong National Park, Mount Siguniang included) are still closed.

At least one day in advance is advised. If possible, book them one week or even one month in advance.
