  2. Foreigners carrying animals, plants, currency, or other items into China must comply with relevant Chinese laws, including those pertaining to health quarantine, animal and plant inspection and quarantine, customs, and financial regulatory agencies.
  3. Foreigners entering China must not engage in activities unrelated to the reasons declared when applying for their visa.
  4. Foreign citizens must not overstay their permitted duration in China. They should pay attention to the validity of their passport and the duration of their visa. If an extension is needed, they must apply at the local public security bureau at least 7 days before the expiration of their stay.
  5. Without approval, foreigners are not allowed to enter areas restricted to foreigners.
  6. The following situations may result in being denied boarding, denied entry, or facing penalties, so please avoid them:
    1. Arriving in China without a visa that has been properly arranged in advance, except for those exempt from visa requirements;
