TRAVELING TO CHINA
If you haven’t applied for your visa, we recommend that you do so ASAP. The spring and summer months in China are the peak holiday seasons, which means longer than normal processing times – so it is best to apply early rather than late and possibly risk missing out. Save your last minute dash for Conquer the Wall Marathon!
Visa rules have changed and you may not need a visa depending on what county you are from. Please check with the Chinese Embassy in your home country for more information, as information does change frequently for each country.
If from the United States we recommend visiting the Chinese Embassy in person to obtain your visa, as it is the fastest and cheapest way to obtain your visa, going through a service can cost additional money so please shop around if using a courier service.
