I have done a lot of research on the internet and am a little bit confused!

We are a family of four. 2 adults and 2 kids aged 6 and 8.
We are in Beijing as a very short stopover for 3 nights and are staying in an AirBNB.
We are just about to apply for our visa's. L type visa I believe is the one we need.
My question is - do we all need an invitation letter?
And if so, how do i obtain one if I'm not staying in a hotel / hostel.

Thank you for your help!

I have a 10 year L visa to China good until 2026. It has multiple entries, but each entry is limited to just 60 days.

I could do a visa run at the 60-day mark (go to the nearest border crossing, exit China, then re-enter China minutes later), but given my itinerary that is inconvenient.

So I'm wondering if there is a way to get an extension to the 60 day stay?

I know there are tons of threads about visa extensions, but that's not what this is. I don't need a visa extension. It's just the 60…

Hi, I'll be travelling through China in August with the family (kids 14 and 15) and would like to hear from your experiences.

Loulan

Doing some research on Loulan it seems that some travellers have been able to visit Loulan. No mentioning of costs or whether they used a travel agent though. I also read there should be buses from Ruoqiang which could mean it is opening up.

Any recent info to share on this??

Tnx...

Hey everyone. I'll be staying in Sichuan 9 days (8 nights) from the 10th to the 18th of September (even if the date of depart is flexible, so in case I liked it a lot I could stay 2 or 3 extra days). I'm starting the route in Chengdu and finishing it in Chengdu as well. I'd like to explore Western Sichuan and, specially, get into the Tibetan culture. That's why I'd like to have some recommendations about where to go and what to do.
So far I've found some interesting spots that could work as an…

Hello all

Is it possible to take a boat /cruise through the Qutang Gorge ONLY ?

I've heard this is the most spectacular stretch
and we are not really that interested in seeing the dam.

And if so, from where to where ?

Best regards
Ray

Hey,
has anyone (not Chinese) recently been to Seda in Sichuan? I saw reports that it is closed to foreigners since July 2016. I would like to travel there in a few weeks.
Cheers
