Visas
Visa is required for U.S.Citizens traveling to China. No
visa is required for U.S. Citizens to enter Hong Kong. Visa
applicatons are processed at the Chinese
Embassy in Washington D.C. and Chinese
Consulates throughout the United States. Applications
must be sent to the consulate according to geographic jurisdictions.
Visas MAY NOT be obtained upon arrival in China and therefore
must be obatined prior to departure. Tourist visas cost US$30
for stays up to 30 days.

Vaccinations
No vaccinations are required for entry into China. Due to
the very limited amount of exposure to rural areas, there
are no vaccinations that we would recommend. However, it is
strongly recommended that you ask your physician about precautionary
medication/vaccinations for diseases that are present in this
region of the world.
