Hi there, this thread had been greatly informative thankyou! I have a question.

I am currently studying in SH and during the winter time I will go down south to xiamen, for the next 6 months I want to live and explore this area, I hear a very simple way to stay for six months is to go to Taiwan for a night every 3 months to renew a tourist visa, I have many contacts in China so an invitation letter is not an issue.

If you could inform me if this is a viable option that would be great! After the 6 month break I will continue my studies again in SH :) using a student X type.
