Flying into Shanghai and Boarding Cruise Ship
We are planning to fly into Shanghai, from Canada, and arriving on 29 April 2018.
Our flight arrives at 3:25 PM Shanghai time and we will be boarding our cruise ship within 72 hours. The cruise ship, however, does not leave port until 8:00 PM Shanghai time, which would be 77 hours after our arrival at the Shanghai international airport.
Do we require a China Visa or do the 72 and/or 144 hour rules apply for visiting Shanghai?
