About:China Visa Exemption
Interaction with the Shenzhen visa on arrival
Do you need to serve out a certain time outside mainland China before re-entering?
For example, say I fly into Shanghai from another country, stay under the 144-hour free transit, and fly to Hong Kong. If I then entered Hong Kong and travelled immediately to the land border with Shenzhen, would I still be allowed to get the 5-day voa?
