Question

I am a Canadian, born in HongKong, holding a SAR passport, HK id card, Mainland Travel Permit for HK & Macao Residents. I am travelling in and out of Xiamen in Oct 2018 with an over 72 hours stay in Xiamen at the end.  Do I need to apply for a Chinese Visa or a Chinese Travel Document or none of the above?

You don't need to provide them. You can enter mainland China by bring your passport and Mainland Travel Permit for HK & Macao Residents. Don't worry.

Thanks Floy.  But my travel agent said I need to apply for a visa.  I did exactly what you said before, and I was lucky to go through. I was asked for my passport when I exit China using the Mainland Travel Permit.  There is a guy encountered the same and the officer told him it was not legal but let him through. I search google and found out that even if I apply for a visa, I would not get it because I was born in Hong Kong (effective 20160202).  However, I could not find this new rule anywhere in the official China Consulate site.
