2 hours in shanghai

Question

Hi, I'm transiting in Shanghai for less than 72 hours and have organised a couple of day tours.  I think one goes outside the city boundary for a few hours, but I will be eating and sleeping at the same hotel in Shanghai while I am there.  Is going briefly outside the city boundary a problem?  Are there 'check point' checks on passports etc?

Alice · Answer

Hi, JL. The law forbids you to go out of the transit city, but someone actually did this before. As for your second question, I don’t think there are check points to check passports.

The only passport checks are when buying airplane and rail tickets. Nonetheless it is a legal requirement to carry your passport on your person.
