About:Chinese Consulate in San Francisco

I have layover in China--am I eligible to leave the airport without visa? I have an USA Passport

I will be in China for less than 10hrs for a layover and leaving the airport to shower at a hotel and rest for a few hours. I have an American passport. Do I still need to apply for a visa? If so, which one?

Thank you

Dear, actually you can enjoy the 24h visa-free transit, but I'm not sure whether you are allowed to leave the airport because your layover is short. It's to be decided by the immigration officer. You can choose a flight route with longer layover in China to enhance the possibility. In many cities, you can enjoy 72 or 144 h visa-free transit.
