entering beijing from cruise ship with flight out later that evening.

Question

I am departing a cruise at Port of Beijing. It is my only stop in China. I have a flight out that evening, but will be visiting the Great Wall with a tour group before my flight. Do I need a visa?  I am a US citizen with a US passport.

Shannon, if the last country you come from is different from the next one you will fly to, you will qualify for the 24 hour direct transit in Beijing. No visa will be needed then.
