Which is a good thing if you're not culturally unaware. Shanghai and China in general is awesome. But Xenophobia isn't.

You'll likely need a visa, unless you visit a second country before flying home.

When I went, we first flew to Shanghai, then Hong Kong, before flying home. Yes, Hong Kong counted as a different country at that time in 2017.

If you're a Disney fan, make it a trifecta by going to Shanghai, Hong Kong, then Tokyo in 1 trip.

Not anymore. I am pretty certain China opened up VISA-free stay for 2 weeks to most developed countries, USA included.

Shanghai also has a new Legoland

Just got back from China in June. Yes, it's visa free for 10 days if you have a US passport. But you have to enter or leave via a 3rd country. Roundtrip from US doesn't count. You also need to show them your itinerary

Agreed, great deal. Is dog meat subject to tariffs upon my return to the states?

anything flying in/out of lax is NOT WORTH IT! (traffic, time, hassle, etc cost)

i'd much rather spend $200 more at any other airport if i had a choice

Incorrect. US is still transit visa only.

It would be a big improvement if the visa wasn't needed. It was a convoluted process to get one in 2023, and I honestly wouldn't feel comfortable just starting the work now for a flight in September.

Nope, no VISA required if you meet such requirements. ### ✈️ 2. **Transit Visa Exemptions** - **240-Hour (10-Day) Transit**: Travelers from **55 countries** (including the U.S., Canada, UK, Russia, Indonesia, and most EU states) can transit without a visa for up to 10 days if: - They hold onward tickets to a **third country** (not their origin) . - Entry/exit occurs through **60 designated ports** across 24 provinces (e.g., Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu) . - **Permitted Activities**: Tourism, business, family visits—**not** work or study .
