Hey everyone,
Hey there,
You will definitely need to have an onward flight booked before they allow you in.
As far as places to stay, and having an itinerary: 1. it's very easy took book somewhere with minimal or no deposit, you can book somewhere even if you don't plan to stay there. 2. Make up an itinerary, again, it doesn't matter if you stick to it, they just want to see you have it.
Hope this was helpful.
Hey skateaddic,
Thanks for your help
Hi, I travelled suth through China from Beijing to Hong Kong via Xi'an Guillin and Yung Shue. You will need an exit flight booked and they will want to know where you will be going and when. I found that most decent hostels will borrow your passport for a short time and take it to the local authorities for them to do what ever they do. I guess they just like to keep tabs on you. I always got my passport back and it never proved to be an issue, even when we altered our plans.
The biggest problem is the language barrier, unless you speak Chinese expect to hit problems when arranging overnight trains, buses etc. That said the people are very friendly and most are willing to help as much as they can even if they don't understand a word you're saying. Its a great country and one of my highlights of a RTW trip. Enjoy !!
