Do I need to apply for Chinese visa or does the 240 hour exemption apply for USA passports?

This ten days trip is eligible for the 240 hour visa-free policy.

Which hotel do you use en Shangai? Because my client wants to go to Disneyland after the tour.

In this tour, we use 4 star hotel with standard room in Shanghai, which are normally the below two: 1. Sunrise on the Bund 2. SSAW Boutique Hotel Shanghai. Since this tour is a private tour, we can add a day tour of Disneyland as an optional activity at the end of this tour.

Well organized trip to see the highlights of China. From the time we arrived at the airport until we left, we were in good hands with everything running smoothly. The tour guides were knowledgeable and very helpful.We learned a lot about Chinese history, culture and we got to taste the local food in every region.We were not with the same travelers everyday, but we thoroughly enjoyed meeting the people we got to know along the way. I would recommend this tour very highly.Show more

This tour around China was fantastic. It took a little getting used to at first but China was a very pleasant surprise. The guides in each city were lovely and attentive...Baijing in Beijing, Eric in Xi'an, Andie in Chengdu, and Brenda in Shanghai. Each city tour was thorough, engaging, and lots of fun. The accommodations were spectacular, four star hotels but they felt like 5 starts! Also, the lunches each afternoon were delicious! And so much food, more than enough for everyone! Top China Travel is very organized despite it being a huge company. Our guides made sure we were taken care of. The transfers and pickups were organized well so we were never too worried about getting lost or forgotten about. Even when I couldn't find my pickup on the first day, the tour company was quick to respond to text and reassured me. All the things we visited were interesting and I learned a lot. China is a beautiful country with a rich history and I would recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you, Top China Travel and my tour guides, for a wonderful and memorable trip!Show more

  If they choose the tour from December 5-14, would they go to Disneyland on that day 14? Because it's Sunday and I guess there will be a lot of people.
