China’s Beautiful Attractions*

China is one of the most popular tourist destinations for people all over the world. That big country has a lot to offer to the travelers so many want to visit it. China has so many interesting tourist destinations and it is virtually impossible to explore all of them. For example, just the Great Wall is over 6,000 kilometers long, and it would be definitely very hard to see every part of this incredible construction. But, despite that fact, it is certainly amazing to come close and explore this unique and magnificent structure.

China is definitely an extraordinary country, and that’s why the Great Wall is just a tip of an iceberg when it comes to great tourist locations spread all over the territory.

Chineses are definitely blessed to live surrounded by such monuments, however, foreigners are also free to visit this magnificent location. They may, however, be obligated by law to meet some requirements so the visa for China might be also necessary for this group of visitors.

It is generally possible to get this one in an embassy in your country, however, you have to follow the procedure, finish the paperwork, and meet with the authorities. The procedure is sometimes quite complicated so it is often suitable to hire a travel agency to complete the work on your behalf.

Such an approach can accelerate the procedure and save you a significant amount of time. Traveling agencies that operate within China jurisdictions are typically familiar with the laws and legislations so you will not lose your time figuring out what is necessary to meet the requirements.

Visa Express

Visa Express, for example, is one of the firms that provide such a service to US citizens. The agency is based in Houston, Texas, so you can easily visit it if you are on the territory. They also have a website where you can learn the most important details about the procedure and requirements. That’s particularly suitable during the Covid crisis when many embassies and companies provide just urgent types of services to their clients and visitors. If you decide to travel during those moments, a health test and a quarantine might be required in some cases.

Other Requirements

Except for this, it is, of course, necessary to have an original US passport valid for at least the next six months prior to entry to the country. If your passport is, for example, valid for at least one year, you may have a chance to get a ten-year China visa. That’s definitely a nice opportunity if you plan to stay longer in the country or to make repeat visits after the initial traveling. The visa will be valid during the time frame, no matter if you are abroad or not, and you can always arrive and regularly pass the border gates. There are also some forms you have to fill out during the application and some of these might be in an online mode. The agency can help you with advice and suggestions if you are confused by anything.

Also, you might be obligated to provide an invitation letter or any related travel documents that can cover your application. The photographs are typically going together with these papers and they have to be fresh ones. The embassy might also ask for proof of your residence so you will have to contact the authorities in your country to receive this one. These are generally the most important requirements you may be obligated to meet. The Chinese authorities may also ask you for some additional details so it is suitable to check all the possibilities with the agency directly. They can answer all of your questions so doubts will disappear.
