Honestly confused

[sanda]

Hi internet fam, I'm doing a solo trip to Beijing in January and I'm honestly so confused where to start/what to do with getting my Visa. I've done so much research but think it's just so much omegle xender. I'm in NYC and am an american citizen. Do I just take my passport and new photos to the Chinese embassy and go from there?

China has opened up 144-hour visa-free transit to dozens of European and American countries (including the United States). As long as you hold a flight ticket leaving China to a third country within 144 hours, you can enter China without a visa for 144 hours. You can search the detail via web.
