    That's not as long as I'd like for such a long and expensive flight but I'll take it

      At that length it seems more aimed towards business trips rather than tourists.

    Is this still the transit visa free policy? To my understanding you have to be transiting through China to another country for this to work, not going to China as your destination. Getting the visa is kinda a pita because there’s only 5 consulates in the US and you are assigned to one based on your region. I had to fly to Chicago to get mine, so it was basically like 2 vacations.

        That’s great to hear. Less time than I spend when I go, but for first time trips it’s a decent amount of time for people to get a feel for the place.

          Absolutely, it's a great move on the part of China to make it easy for people from western countries to come and see what China is actually like as opposed to what western propagandists paint it as.
